I dunno really, i'm iffy either way. Personally i don't run around with flags and rainbow this and that announcing that i'm gay, but i it's pretty obvious if you met me that I am. I don't mind people who show their pride in what they are, gay straight black white asian latino, whatever they want. that's their choice to show pride in the way they live. As long as their not trying to force you to carry their pride symbol then i don't see how it's hurting anything. So i'm not really one to care.

I think it's kind of childish for people to complain about something like pride. When pride is all around us every day we just don't notice it because we're used to seeing things the way they are. Pride in one's self, some people may not like seeing a girls wear skimpy clothing and showing their pride, but it may not bother other's. It's a form of pride saying hey i'm proud of my body. I have confidence. So someone wearing a symbol that says something along the lines of 'gay and proud' or 'straight and proud' or something wouldn't bother me.

Heck, one of my favorite shirts says "Straight? So is spaghetti until you heat it up" and i get more laughs and people saying 'i like your shirt where'd you get it i want one!' than i do people shunning me for it. And i live in a town that rarely accepts homosexuality as something normal.

I have no problems with it. My aunt is a lesbian and has been in my life as long as I can remember. My dad is slightly homophobic, but he keeps his mouth shut about it. It makes me mad when people fake it for attention.

Ah, I am bisexual myself, so I've got no problems with homosexuals. Actually, my gay friends tend to be really awesome, the nicest people I've ever met. I'm happy that gay marriages become legal in more and more countries. However, where I live they are repressed by our stupid government and ignorant people who think that a homosexual person is simultaneously a pedophile and zoophile and whatever worse else. That's sad, really.

I was raised by a gay couple for a majority of my life and I'm one of the most sane, well-adjusted people I know of (or so I've been told). I think it makes me more open-minded in general and accepting, also less quick to judge. I've also been raised Christian, in churches that never said it was wrong to be gay.
I don't see any problem with pride, everyone should feel free to be who they are without having to be judged or criticised for it.

People complain about it being waved in their faces, usually have never been a minority. It's a mark of courage to be able to face the world as you are when the majority would rather lock you up or beat you down. I'm a bisexual, asian-american female and I would rather have everyone wear the truth on their chests than have to hide because I'm afraid of what people will think or do when they find out.
It hasn't been that long since homosexality has become somewhat accepted, and by no means have they gotten the rights they deserve. Until they do I say scream it from the top of rooftops until they do.

Most peoples' opinions have been passed down from their parents, so they spout nonsense without knowing what it means. I don't even mind if someone is against homosexuality if they can explain why calmly and logically without screaming "because it's wrong!"


I will admit I do get annoyed by the sudden surge of 'popular to be bi'. While it's nice that people are more open I get the feeling it's because everyone else is doing the same rather than because it's true. Then I worry when a conservative trend will come along and suddenly it was never true.

We're lucky to be born and learn to be open minded. I mean, Ellen Degenres (sorry if I spelled her last name wrong!) is soooo funny, and you can't say anything bad about Dory (she voiced her in Finding Nemo) like she's gay or anything.
I'm sure I'm straight, but I find SasuXNaru cute.
Love is too complicated and too simple to be labeled and defined.
Nope, no problem with homosexuality. If you do have a problem, wait until a friend you trust comes out, then either you accept that you're wrong or you lose a good friend.

I don't see a problem with homosexuality. Sure, it's mentioned in the Bible that "no man shall lay by a man as a woman", or however it goes. But the fact is, not everyone is religious, not everyone cares about what the Bible says.


I believe we should be treated equally, whether we're hetero or homosexual. Honestly, telling homosexuals that they can't get married isn't any better than when African Americans were used as slaves. O_o

I always wonder, Chrysopoeia, why the bible might say that if immediately thereafter they (or at least, the Roman Catholics) preach love and acceptance, regardless. Care for yourself and your neighbor, they say, care for those less fortunate than you as well as your equals. Care for your fellow man, regardless of status.
We can't do that if we're shunning homosexuality. Did you hear about the lesbian couple that has been 'excommunicated from their church? I don't think that's acceptance at all.

I see no problem with homosexuality. I support gay marriage for much the same reason I support marriage in general. I feel that it is an ultimate commitment and if you want to make that kind of commitment to someone because you love and cherish them, then no one should be able to stop you.

Meh.

I have absolutely no problem with it. I have gay friends and they are amazing people, what they do in the bedroom really isn't anyone else's business. I believe that, as with heterosexuals, most gays are decent people. What I don't like though is those who are really "in your face" and have to exaggerate every aspect of their lifestyle, which definitely doesn't help getting homosexuality more accepted in the society. If anything I think that kind of behavior creates "homophobia". Naturally they should be proud of who they are and all, but those who for some reason have to take it to the next level and then some do more harm than good. In my opinion anyway ;)

there not my favorite but i deal with them.

Religion screws up the world severely.
I'm gay myself and no, I don't have any trouble with it. Thing is, most christian nations, like Holland somewhat is, do have a problem with it.

><: I've got serious issues with religion. And every time the bible or the Qoran is used as a reason for being against someone's sexuality I'll bitchslap you and tell you to base your opinion on something else than an outdated book. Please? ><;

As a Catholic, I have absolutely no problem with Homosexuals. They're often lovely people, I just have the "problem" with homosexual sex. That's it. :|

Why? It's not like you have to do it.

I think Homosexuality is okay, there's nothing wrong with it. You cant help who you fall in love with and most were just born that way. I know a friend who is that way. ^_^ I dont like it when people are mean to them or tell them they are wrong and all that crap cause they aren't. Love is love and if you truely love someone like that, then I dont see a problem with it.

well i have no problem with people expressing their sexuality in the open no matter what their orientation is...but there is an extent to how much pda i want to see from anyone...some people are way to overally affectionate in public for my taste but thats a different matter...i believe that people who are gay have any right to get married as someone that was straight...i dont think they are any more likely to end in divorce or even cause psychological problems to a child that they might raise as any other straight couple.. and *gasp* i do call myself a christian and i still am ok with homosexuals..

What consenting adults get up to in private is nobody's business but their own, and on that principle, there's very few sexual acts that I object to. The 'in private' bit is important, though. I dislike public displays of affection no matter what the gender of the participants, and it's terribly awkward and embarrassing when people talk about their peculiar kinks right in front of you. I speak from experience, having an acquaintance who insisted on informing anyone who'd listen about his latest sado-masochistic hi-jinks, usually whilst you were eating. There's every chance he made most of it up, but whatever the case, it would have been nice if he'd had the smarts to work out that people don't generally want to know what you've been getting up to, bedroom-wise.

So, yeah. People make way too much of a fuss about homosexuality. It's thoroughly harmless, so I can't see why it attracts such attention.

so you are ok with heterosexuals like totally making out in front of you..to me i find that just as sickening..i think hardcore displays of affection should not be done in public..so im ok with homosexuals and heterosexuals getting giggy with each other as long as its not visible

Yeah, I'm with you there.
Like many people, I'd be a little bit nauseous to see two people of the same sex necking like there's no tomorrow right in front of me, but I'd feel exactly the same if it were people of different sexes. I hate it when my buddies do that, 'cause it's downright antisocial. Some couples have this amazing ability to shut out the outside world and get in everybody's way in the process. "Yeah, yeah, it's great that you only have eyes for each other, but it'd be nice if you could stop playing tonsil hockey and let me get to this damn toilet."
Still... that's a different topic, really.

I feel the same way. Holding hands and stuff is fine. Even hugging.
But if you're going to start making out, I don't care WHO you are, please get a room >.>;

I have several gay and lesbian friends, and I'm absolutely sick to death of feeling like I should be the gay one in the group as well. My situation is reverse of what most people experience. Instead of my friends trying to get my gay friends to become straight, or stop what they're doing in public. My gay friends are constantly trying to set us up on dates with their gay/lesbian friends. As soon as any of them find out that you may be bisexual or are curious they jump all over you and at any party try and get all freaky with you. That behavior annoys me to no end, and some hetero friends do it as well. Aside from that I have no problem, and I know its not every gay/lesbian that does that... my friends are just ridicuously open.

That must be annoying =/
Have you told them that you aren't homosexual/bisexual? Or rather, you just aren't interested in your gender? That might make them stop

I also don't believe it is something that should be punishable in anyway, or something that people should be judged for. But I also dont' buy that people are "born with it" i believe its a choice.

I technically don't think its a choice. A lot of days are persecuted for their sexuality and are given stereotypes and would gladly "choose" to be straight.

My Biology teacher said hat it was simply a chemical thing in the brain. According to him, scientists have changed mice sexuality be messing around with said chemicals.
