Gay and lesbian relationships are still this foreign thing, especially when it comes to TV.

If there's ever a gay or lesbian couple on pretty much any kind of TV show there has to be some kind of insane drama involved, I've not once seem a normal trouble-free couple, unlike they always have with straight ones. Not to mention the looks some gay and lesbian couples get on the streets when they're simply just holding hands.

When do you guys thing the world will get over the gay and lesbian thing? It's really starting to get old v_v
 
It will happen eventually, probably sooner than you think. Christians don't enjoy talking about this, but just sixty years ago it was interracial marriage they were convincing others was an affront to God. And no, this was not just in the South.

Don't generalize. I hate those dumb denominations from Christianity. Some distort the Bible so much that it becomes something terrible. I hate that. Not all Christians were against interracial marriage, and not all Christians are against Homosexual Marriage. The Mormons for example: From what I remember in the three Mormon churches I've been to, they allow Gay/Lesbian preachers/pastors/etc. My church (not the best example because I somewhat dislike the Nazarene denomination) is okay with it. They will tolerate it, they won't encourage it, but they won't shun someone or dispel them to hell because of it.
The Bible does say that the act of homosexuality is a sin, but I'm not going to go there because I'll bring up a debate because it's in Leviticus. Point being, I think it's already widely accepted.
And Jas0n, if you watch a show on something like lifetime (i never do, but my sister does) or abc or other soap opera-like channels, then you'll see that they over dramatize straight marriages too.

I think the bible is just fairytales gone wild.

One MAJOR flaw with the whole damn book is that God gave us free will, then set about making 10 rules on which we MUST live by to get into heaven? And if not we are sent to hell for all of eternity? This theory totally makes the whole book into bull*censored.2.0*. If there IS a god why the hell would he go to the trouble of giving us free will then trying to limit it? I think that if he exists he just made us to amuse himself. Or just to see what'd happen. Hence he hasnt cured anything for us (e.g. Famine)
 
Gay people get beaten up here.
People that stand up for gays get beaten up here.

Don't agree with it bit it happens.

I'm not generalizing. It's rather cute the way you think the other "dumb denominations" distort the bible, when they have the exact same opinion of your interpretation. What it comes down to is "your interpretation is wrong" vs. "no, yours is!" And it doesn't take any distortion to make the bible into something terrible, that fact is there plain as day. Although, if you are a Christian who supports marriage equality, you have gained a lot of respect from me.

But I have to disagree on the Mormon thing... perhaps you will find greater acceptance of homosexuality outside of, say, Utah. A lot of the funding for Proposition 8, the ballot referendum that banned gay marriage in California, was provided by the LDS church.

As for the Levitical laws, homosexuality is described in the same way as eating shellfish or other absurd offenses that no one actually follows. They do follow the homosexuality law, because it provides credence to their bigotry.

And lifetime overdramatizes everything, man.
 
Yeah, you know what I hate? The move attract in pokemon only works on opposite genders, why shouldn't it work on all genders!? It should work even work on genderless pokemon! Let's revolt against Nintendo, they either give gays and genderless fair rights, or we stop buying Pokemon games!

You can't say that, I doubt you've actually picked a bible and read it. -.-
 
Oh, you have no idea. Being in a gay relationship myself, I just wish that this damn civilization would just grow up and learn to accept things that are 100% normal. My boyfriend and I live with his mom and grandparents, and because they're against homosexuality, we have to act completely straight as long as they're around. It *censored.3.0*ing sucks. We can't show any affection at all. We're being forced to live a lie. And it's not just at home. Even when we're out in public, we can't even hold hands, because there are people out there who will beat you up or even kill you if they have any reason to believe that you're gay. Crazy, I know, but it's true. The only time we get to act normal is if we're alone or with close friends. Point is, as much as I love the relationship I'm in, the rest of the world can make it feel like torture sometimes. That's what gays have to go through. It's ridiculous. This world needs to change.

As I'm sure you have. The whole "you've never read the bible" argument is so incredibly lame. The fact is is that it's full of useless fake history, superstition, and a whole lot of disgusting "morality".
 
Whoops, I'll shut up then.
But I don't see how a man and man can be together, Like how can they get children?
 
Generalization is wrong, and it can go any way. Many people are fine with people being gay, but many still are not, and many of those many are not because of religion, and no it is not only one religion. I think that is a pretty fair statement, I hardly ever find anyone against it from say an entirely scientific standpoint, unless you consider poking two fingers together scientific.... I do specify only a scientific standpoint, because there are psychologists who think it can be cured but again, their efforts are almost always paid for by a religious affiliated organization.

It is funny I am always nervous about show affection to my bf in public, but I love him and will. However there are times I am really afraid to show it, like at my graduation coming up. Why? because I don't want to be disowned by my grandparents, and considering they almost disowned my cousin for his dad getting him a tattoo... yeah.... I wish that would change but I don't think it is. I've heard of people in my area kicked out of Wal Mart for kissing there, even just a peck, because it is a "family"store. It really annoys me when they say something like that, as if I couldn't have a family of my own with my bf. Why 2 dad's would ever be considered less than one is beyond me, and that is not to criticize single parents, because I know that has to be rough, there is only so much time in the day and you need money for yourself and you kids. My point is just that some of these people claim to be against it because they say you need a female and a male influence as a kid, but you never see single parents criticized by these groups nearly as much.
I love my guy though, he loves me back and that should be all I care about, but it is still scary sometimes.

... well there is adoption... lesbian friends... paying a woman to carry a child... I've thought about this cause I do still want kids...
