No but I would prefer they didn't do things in public like gossip about their sex lives which is something too many gay guys do. I say the same about heterosexuals. Other than that, they can do whatever they want.

What are you basing your idea of marriage on, for the record?
ThatGuy98
+1 y
I follow the Bibles view on marriage, since i believe that it was God who originally invented marriage.
cipher42
+1 y
Firstly, marriage was around since well before Christian times, and existed in many faiths outside the abrahamic ones. Secondly, if we're following the biblical definition of marriage, then it isn't necessarily one man, one woman anyhow. After all, there are TONS of examples of polygamy in the bible. Other rules of marriage according to the bible: considered valid only if the bride was a virgin. If she was not, then she needed to be executed (Dt. 22:13-21). Also, do you think divorce ought to be illegal as well? Marriages could only take place if the spouses were believers (Ezra 9:12). And if the husband were to die before having children, then his brother was required to marry the widow. If he refused, he had to forfeit one of his sandals, be spit on by the widow, and change his name to “House of the Unshoed” (Dt. 25:5-10).
Asker

haHA, thats why you can't base your views off the bible
ThatGuy98
+1 y
If you actually studied the bible better you would know that that is a part of the old law, and that it is no longer viable. As for polygamy in the bible God actually hated it and considered it a sin, which you also would know if you cared to read the bible properly. I believe that God established marriage and that Adam and Eve were the first married couple on earth, which makes other religions marriages irrelevant (since other religions didn't exist then). Explaining this to a non-believer is next to impossible though, and i am not expecting you to understand. I do however expect that you use common sense and look at where the world has gone because of the homosexual community. If you or anyone else wants to further discuss this topic feel free to send me a message!

Where has it gone because of the homosexual community? Did things get more... Gay?
ThatGuy98
+1 y
No, but firstly, freedom of opinion has taken a big hit. It's no longer acceptable to have an opinion against gays because you instantly become a homophobic. Secondly the many 1000 year tradition of a man and woman making a commitment to each other (marriage) has been thrown in the dirt, this i not only because homosexual marriage, but since gays started marrying more people has also married animals and even houses&cars. Thirdly both the gays and the supporters of gay marriage has spit God in the face by taking something wonderful that he created and twisting it into something bad and ungodly. The list goes on but the way i see it, nothing good has ever, or will ever come out of the homosexual community& marriage.
cipher42
+1 y
You could just as easily say freedom of opinion has taken a hit because of non-white people, since it's no longer acceptable to be racist. And what tradition of marriage? Again, marriage didn't originate with Christianity. Many different cultures have had different forms of marriage with different rules.
ThatGuy98
+1 y
There might be different types of marriages in different religions, but the marriage we use today is definitely a christian marriage. We get married in church, a priest takes care of the ceremony, and we even say "according to God's holy ordinance" in our vows! So i think it is pretty obvious that the form of marriage gays want to enter is the christian type. I don't know about your country but at least in Finland we offer a different type of commitment to homosexuals that want to be together, it grants them the same right as a married couple but without the church ceremony and the official "married" title. Still, the gays are trying (and are going to succeed) to get the rights to marry the christian way. And this is what bothers me, not only are they living out their homosexuality, but they also have to destroy the marriage that God created. So after all this, it only seems to me like gays are insecure about their sexuality and are trying to get confirmation by Christians, and God.

I guess it depends on how you define "natural." Most animals don't engage in anal sex. A small percentage do. To me, that doesn't make it "natural." What percentage of chimps, our closest ancestor, actually engage in anal sex? I still don't think its natural.

I am pretty much comfortable with kissing women, thank you for your concern. In general, I do not give a single attention. what they do do not concern me as long as they do not go judging me, or saying what I should think or believe, or speak in my behalf. You also cannot force me to have a reaction that I feel natural just because it does not suit what YOU feel should be the good reaction, and label it as homophobic, that would be an oppression of thinking.

Look, just find homophobia in any decent dictionary you like. I will be legitimately impressed if you can find one that agrees with your definition.
