1. I think that if someone is gay then it is ok. I'm not going to judge them or nething...it's who they are
2. I had that happen to me, i found out my best friend was gay...I still respected him and felt the same way for him. it was a shock, but i still love him like a brother 3. I don't think it should legal, mainly for the reason that what if they adopt a kid or somethan...that kid is going to have such a hard life, growing up with parents of the same sex. Kinda like when kids have to go through their parents divorce, it leaves like scars.....and so imagine what it would b like with two parents of the same sex..ahhh emotional scars growing up. |

yea, it must be a hard life, not having a member of one sex as your parent. this is why single parents get their kids taken away.

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?
Well it would be hypocritical of me to think it was wrong because I'm bisexual. 2. What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? That's happened to me. My bestfriend came out to me about a year ago. I was the first non-family member that he told. The only thing it changed about our relationship is that I stopped having a crush on him. It's really fun to go to the mall with him and check out hot guys. 3. Should it be legal for them to marry? YES!!! In my opinion there's not a lot of difference between racism and being prejudice against gay/lesbian/bisexual people. I think you should accept everyone for who they are. That doesn't mean you have to like them... That's your own choice... |

1. I'm totally fine with it, it doesn't affect my life.
2. I would definately still repect them; I have tons of friends that are gay and lesbian. They are some of the most awesome people in the world. 3. I do think they should be able to marry. They aren't doing anything to me, it's really none of my business. |

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?
I think its fine. Its not their fault theyre gay. But, how in the world are they "born gay". Tell me how thats possible. If their parents arent gay, where do they get their genes for being gay from? I just think its a early life situation that made them that way. 2. What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? I would be fine with them. It'd just be VERY odd. haha 3. Should it be legal for them to marry? Yeah, I mean, their not going to marry anyone of the opposite sex anyways so *shrugs* what are you keeping them in line for? QUOTE Can I add my two cents to get my mind away from my great desire to murder a backstabbing bastard and his little pet? That said, consider this. What if humans are all created the same, however, there are some that due to nature AND nurture, develop certain homosexual tendencies but they CHOOSE not to follow them? Let me open this up. It has been discovered that, while there is no such thing as a "gay gene" (I'm not going to say just yet, because we live in a world that's constantly changing...), there are things that can cause a person to develop homosexual tendencies later in life, those being abnormal hormone leves at conception and birth, being male (don't bite me here, I'll explain this one in a sec), and some other things that my brain just cannot reach right now (I had to write a paper on this, I'm just too worked up to try to remember all of them). Adding to this, there is good old nurture. A girl that is treated like a boy, likes rough play and is not your typical girly girl (there are exceptions to this rule because I can say that I somewhat fall under the last two statements and I am very straigth and happy) CAN develop (I'm not saying WILL develop) lesbian tendencies the same way a boy that is not treated like one and does not like rough play and the such CAN develop gay tendencies. So put nature AND nurture together and a person experiences strong homosexual feelings and desires. That person can MAKE THE CHOICE to either fall to those tendencies or not, and I say this because I've seen it happen. In conclusion, I believe both nature and nurture are in play, but it is the person's will that determines the outcome. And I also believe that it is not right to hate homosexual people... they are just people with a twisted view on things (MY OPINION and I think I'm entitled to it). Now, to explain the whole "being male can lead to gay tendencies" thing. It has been discovered (again, I would state the study, date and place, but for reasons stated above, I just cannot remember it right now... will look it up) that when a woman has several male children, her body starts to slightly reject them (being the opposite sex). I explain myself. There are enough changes done to a woman's body with the conception of a child. Several boys in succession cause a woman's hormones to go a bit haywire, so her body thinking that it not longer wants a foreign creature (a boy, sorry if this sounds harsh... I just don't know any other way to put it) it starts to try to make it... natural... not so foreign... so that can increase the level of female hormones a fetus receives. Did that make sense? I'm just not making sense to myself right now... I'm too pissed off... I AGREE WITH YOU 100%. AMEN. thats EXACTLY my point. THERE IS NOT "GAY GENE". Its just life situations that trigger certain hormones to respond that way. This kid I know, he was, during his early childlife, beat up by his dad several times a week for very null reasons, and his mom always was right by him side. Sooner or later, he didnt make much contact with the same sex, so he developed gay tendencies. Period. Case closed. Its really not that hard to believe once people open up their brain to understand. If you really dont want your kid to be gay, then treat them like the they should be brought up. Now, as you all know, Alexander the Great was bisexual. Why? Because his dad used to beat up his mother all the time and he saw this. He saw her being raped by him and the such and he grew such strong feelings for his mom, in a sympathetic way. Therefore, he grew female tendencies. However, during his later childhood, his dad trained him and the such with other boys his age, so he got appraisal from him, too. Therefore, he was bisexual. Now, is that really hard to understand? |

Love is love, no matter whate. 2. What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? This happend to me, my friend from third grade, my first freind in America, came out in 9th grade. I was a bit shocked because she hid it well, but it was fine. 3. Should it be legal for them to marry? Of course. |

1. It's not my place to judge someone for their sexual orientation. I'm fine with it and I don't see why someone can't just accept them and debating over if it should be legal or illegal for such things like gay marragies. It's their life, not yours, so why make laws on it? I don't see how it's affecting someone else's life.
 2. I would be lying if I said it wouldn't change the way I feel. Of course it's gonna be a bit weird for me to hang around with them. I mean, like now that you know their secret, basically they're a somewhat of a new person now. But I'm sure that if it were to happen to me, after a while, things would go back to normal and of course i would still respect them. It's their choice in life, and if it's what makes them happy, then be my guest to be homosexual. 3. Yes. Why shouldn't it? Like I said in Question 1, how would it affect anyone else. I mean, you're not the ones that are gay/lesbian and what not. It's them. If two men/women are happy with each other and want to live their life together, why stop them? |

1. i'm 100% pro-homosexuality. who are we to judge and dictate what people can and can't do? love is love, no matter what your race is, gender, ect.
2. i think it may be awkward in the beginning, especially if the person is the same gender, but i would definitely still have respect for them. in fact, i may even have more respect for them being able to come out like that. i would definitely treat them the same. 3. absolutely. they have the right to be a married couple just as straight couples do. who cares if they can't reproduce? there are *so* many children up for adoption. if i was adopted by a gay/lesbian couple, i would be PROUD. screw what everyone else thinks. |

& I dont think its wrong, people are people no matter what their sexuality is.
& My BFF recently told me that he was gay and It didnt change anything, just now i have to be careful showing him my BFs he might take em away =D & I hate it when people say that marriage is sacred, when 45% of marriages in this country divorce in less than 4 years. Homosexual people have longer monogomous relationships than heteros. And if they want to get married then more power to them |

1.How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?
Well, First off I’m lesbian so yea I think it’s AWSOME! And I think partly it is a choice yet again social upbringing does have a major affect on how you feel. Then again there is no control for natural feeling, unless you know what action you are about to take acting on them is wrong or right.So that’s a sketchy thing for me but mostly 98% of me believe I did not have a choice. But I think homosexuality is something you are born with and is NOT a disability or defect. It does not affect your ability to do everyday things or cloud your judgment, being gay does however affect your own personal opinions. Like being in a car accident would affect your opinion on car saftey 2.What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? My friend Ashley recently came out to me so no it wouldn't change anything, And I know how hard it is to come out to some one you have known, to them you worry the most of what they think. 3.Should it be legal for them to marry? Yes, not only because I’m a lesbian but because it is NOT a religious right we are talking about but a LEGAL one. Sadly people have the tendency to bring God in the mix(As our government is doing a fine job of). In America there is a separation of church and state. About polygamy, If gay marriage were legal there are laws against having more than one spouse. Bigamy, The criminal offense of marrying one person while still LEGALLY married to another. (not being recognized by everyone else AND NOT THE LAW as married) So roommates couldn’t get benefits unless…they where married. And that would be EXTREMLY difficult to stay married and have another (Legally married) spouse on the side. Gay Marriage by law should be allowed, it’s a fundamental human right, but it is only because of this country’s majority religion and culture is it denied to us. I think it is a right because Marriage isn’t a privilege to heterosexuals, it’s a right. Why should I when I get married, be limited because I am Lesbian? There is nothing Sacred about marriage, we have “Bachelor” “Bachelorette” “Littlest groom” not to mention, marriage lost its sacred title when the clauses of the First amendment was written. Also, I do not agree though with the fact of Parades and all the pride that goes round, you can be proud and supportive but straights do not have a parade to celebrate they are straight. If we want to be equal it should be equal across the board. |

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?
- I'm tolerant about homosexuality. I really don't care if you are or not. The idea of sex with the same gender kind of bothers me though. 2. What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? - I'd respect them, but I wouldn't go "Woo Hoo! I totally support you! 100%!!" I'd just go.."Oh ok." 3. Should it be legal for them to marry? - Hmm..Yes. |

i hate how gays and lezbians are judged by who they have sex with, streight people are jusdged for other things, not by who they have sex with.
i think they are no different, they are human beings just the same. |

I dont support it
Because: We were designed to be man and woman, otherwise how would be populate? Then again, Im straight, thats the way I was born, and they didnt deal with homosexuality back in the day so I dont know... I suppose that brings up the question as to: "Well if Im born straight, maybe they were born gay" and I mean you can ask a ton of questions like that, it wont really prove anything or change my veiws. LOVE THE SINNER HATE THE SIN! I still accept gays for who they are as a person, we just dis-agree with sexual prefrences |

1. I dont care if someone's gay/straight/bisexual/transsexual/questioning... whatever. its not something that can be controlled, thus, it should be tolerated and respected.
2. This has happened countless times to me, and it never changes my opinion of them. if anything, I respect them more for having the courage to come out. I know how hard that can be. I went through it myself. 3. Of course it should be legal for them to marry. Any arguements against it are based on fear or twisted religious views. but you know, in a theocracy like the united states, of course we have to make political decisions based on religious views. QUOTE(JlIaTMK @ Jan 9 2005, 3:48 PM) THERE IS NOT "GAY GENE". Its just life situations that trigger certain hormones to respond that way.

But I've never heard it the way you said it... usually I hear people claim gays were traumatized by a member of the opposite sex. I am bisexual. I first had a crush on a girl in preschool. I had a crush on a boy in kindergarten. I was never traumatized by either my mom or my dad. There was nothing in my childhood that could have caused me to feel this way. I can't remember a time when I didnt feel like this. I in no way chose to be bisexual. I was a homophobe until 7th grade. mostly because I was trying to surpress my own homosexual feelings. Its just how we are born. and thus, it should be accepted. its not a choice. |

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?
I feel that the homosexual is going through an identity crisis. Which is not a good thing. 2. What if you knew someone for years... and then you find out that they were gay/lesbian... would that change the way you feel about them? Would you still respect them? Don't get me wrong though, I wouldn't actually hate on a person for being homosexual or bisexual. I would still show respect, but I'd set them straight. (No pun intended.) Hating on someone for being homosexual or bisexual is hardly a justifiable reason to hate. 3. Should it be legal for them to marry? In mankind's law, it might as well be legalized. Especially in America; restricting homosexuality could be considered unconstitutional. QUOTE(ursedonah @ Feb 23 2007, 9:13 PM) 1.
