Why is being gay considered wrong? (homosexuality, choice, experience, bible)

[Ori]

As long as it doesn't harm anyone else, why the big deal?

[Mister Emu]

It is a deviation from the Lord's plan, and condemned in the Bible.

No clue. People are just scared of what they don't understand. Like the line in the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast...."We don't like what we don't understand, in fact we fear it."

But people are born being gay, it's not like they just one day decide there going to kiss someone of the same sex.

Long-held prejudice doesn't fade easily. I'm just giving it time and trying to change opinions where and when I can.

Everything about our body is determined in the brain. We are "hard-wired" a certain way. Love and sexuality is in the brain. For example:

The majority of people are born right handed, this being because there is a certain part of the brain on the left side (which control the right side of the body) that determines dominance. If for some reason the part of the left side of the brain stops forming before dominance is determined then another part of the brain on the right side picks up the trait of dominance and thus you have left handedness. The parts of the brain form at different rates while in the womb and this accounts for the differences. Sometimes parts of the brain stop forming during the formation of traits and the formation is continued elsewhere and hence we have ambidextrousness.

Now look at this in the view of sexuality. Sexuality is determined in the brain as well. Therefore if the part that determines heterosexuality stops forming before that is determined then another part of the brain picks up sexuality and results in a different sexual orientation. Making homosexuality just as normal as left-handedness, which is also why the basic percentage of the population that is left-handed is about the same as homosexual...because things like that happen to only a certain percentage of people. It is a normal thing that happens during brain formation in the womb.

Along those lines then, if you believe that "God" made you the way you are supposed to be, then "God" made gays.

No they are not.

I am not saying it is choice, because I believe that it is caused your circumstances, raising, and experiences

Yes they are. While there are those that may have been so traumatized by some childhood molestion or rape that they may psychologically not be able to be with the same sex anymore, the most of homosexuals are RAISED by heterosexual parents, in the same CIRCUMSTANCES as heterosexual children, and have the same EXPERIENCES as heterosexuals.

Is it considered 'Wrong' ? Do you mean by Society, the Church or the criminal courts ?
