Homosexual, //what if...? Options

[razbus]

I know that there have been debates on homosexuals, but i would like to add a few things.

1. How do you feel about it? Is it okay? Is it wrong?

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?

3. Should it be legal for them to marry?

Heres how i feel...

1. I personally do not see a problem with it. I have several gay/lesbian friends. That's the way they are. I dont see why it's such a big deal.

2. This actually happened to me. I knew this guy for like a year before he told me he was gay. I never saw it coming. It didn't change a thing. He's still my compadre. lol.

3. Absolutely. This is one thing i absolutely push for. How would this effect anyone negatively??


I really expect some comments on this one...

all i wana say that...so they are homosexuals, so they have to continue it forever? well we gotta teach them a lesson on being their ownself. seriously i think it's very disgusting...

and i want it to be illegal... seriously like forever. i know all you guys like homosexual be gay forever and have sex and kiss all day having fun... wow... i dont know why you guys want them to have a nice life and wed together...seriously... i guess you guys dont care whoever they marry... so if ur daughter/son was a les or a gay person... would you let ur daughter marry a daughter? would you reallie do that? ew i cant stand a girl and a girl kissing together like britney spears and madonna...

Um, people who are frightened of change in society say that.

EDIT: It doesn't matter if you're disgusted with it. Having an argument by saying it disgusts you isn't valid at all. It actually kinda makes you look stupid and ignorant (saying generally to anyone who uses personal feelings like disgust to back up their opinion) Now you can manifest your disgust and go find some hard evidence on why it should be illegal forever, then that would be debate. No one can "argue" or "change" your feelings since it seems so buried deep in your heart.

Our school had a debate on gay marriage. Pro was that its a human right. Con was that it would open the door for polygamy activists and beastiality and pedialphile activists.

Now I totally agreed w/ both sides, but I had to choose pro in the end. Just becaues there is a chance it can open the door, it is STILL a human right. The def of marriage in america's gov't has "any man and woman joined..." ok, so that would automatically void all gay marriages right? Well back when blacks couldn't marry whites, the def of marriage was "any same colored man and woman joined.." So the gov't can change it's definitions.

Umm pedialfialia(sp) doesn't have a consenting partner in it so it can't be legal (unless the gov't finds 5 y/o have a mature enough mind)

I can't say anything about polygamy, i totally forgot the argument against it. =/

P.S. the debate was funny at the end, a guy came up and brought religion into it. which sparked another hour of debate. and the debate was going so secular too.*sigh*
