BUT If I was stuck on a desert island with another man for the rest of my life I can imagine he might start to look very attractive after a while. I don't think that makes me homosexual, I'm married but I don't think that makes me heterosexual.
Of course maybe it's just me
I think the idea is to categorize people according to what they do in general. Someone who has a history of being and currently is attracted to the same gender would be homosexual, and the opposite would be heterosexual, while both would be bi. That's not saying that those people could never be attracted to someone of the other gender, but for now at least, they fit into those categories. If it would take something like being stranded on a desert island for you to be attracted to a man, I think that would be about as heterosexual as you could be. (And you also have obviously not seen me )

Hatred is the cause of the misery in the world- war, lynchings, attacks because of lifestyle, religion, etc, cold war, and so on. Too many people are intolerant of those different than they are. Differences are what make each of us unique.

I think you are highly delusional. If some people claiming to be Christians have been supportive of homisexuality they are not really Christians.

Actually, it was the Christians who aren't supportive of homosexuality that I was thanking. They showed me why fighting for gay rights is absolutely necessary and helped me identify more with homosexuals' struggles.

Also, I would submit that a truer way of looking at it is that people who support gay rights are the true Christians (as in following Christ's example), whereas those who oppose them are not really Christians.

Please show where Jesus showed animosity to ANYONE but religious hypocrites? You would do well to persecute them instead.

God is love. Homophobia is the absence of love. That is true for any bigotry.

How nice. Inventing your own Christianity. Coming out with the Mball Bible anytime soon?
