sorry, didnt mean to be offensive. however it is not up to anyone on this planet, when they claim to be a christian, to condone anything. as far as i am aware it is only God that can judge and therefore condone or not. we all seem to think that we have a right to judge other peoples life styles. how? as long as they are not hurting anyone them leave them alone.again, no offense meant, it was an off the cuff comment with regards my previous thread.....just think we all should just mind our own

You werent offensive..That was my very dry sarcasm..

I've notice that those of the religious right seem to be obsessed with homosexuality, like it is some kind of bubonic plague. Sad that some people can't accept other's sexual preferences, and accord them their right to privacy.

Nothing is wrong with not liking it. I'm sure there are some who don't like heterosexuality either. As long as they don't try to restrict others because of it, people can coexist. You don't have to like everything about people to get along. Just don't allow your dislikes to become a reason to oppress.

A man who disparages homosexuality disparages the sexuality and aesthetics of his mother and sisters. His objections to those who find men attractive and disgust at those who engage in sexual relations with them insults either sex to which this applies.
Likewise, the converse is true for those women who oppose homosexuals.

Hey, no problem. I don't like heterosexuality either, which is why I'm gay. As we say in our house, "'To each her own,' said the old woman as she kissed the cow." Of course, I'm too polite to say so in public, as some heterosexual person might be offended, but I see that doesn't bother you.

I guess it almost goes without saying the California school districts.
Here are a few links about what is going on. My Great Grandfather gave me this advice when I was about 16, he said something along the line of 'if they are only doing it in California it is problem immoral but politically correct'.

Common Ground Common Sense > Do we need a gay curriculum?

Next on school agenda:<BR>Teaching communism

Here is a bonus about the rest of the world and Massachusetts the California of the North East.

Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum

I'm confused. I clicked on your first link only, which refers to a bill prohibiting discrimination against gays in school. How is that teaching homosexuality? Are you in favor of discriminating. You realize that not discriminating means that it's treated the same as heterosexuality, right? Which is the exact opposite of what you (or someone in this thread) said?

I always say, "I see said the blind man to his deaf wife as he picked up his hammer and saw."

going by some of your posts here, you are certainly not what i would call a homophobe. the attitude you have displayed is one of live and let live, right? that's absolutely fine by my standards

Don Penguinoini · Mar 17, 2008

Yep Mike, but the thing is, people state the are against homosexuality, nothing wrong with it, it seems like some gay folk find this offensive. The new generation of sensetive- easy to hurt seem to be gays.

And gypsies, on LBC i heard that they find Basil Brush racist :???

Autodidact · Mar 17, 2008

Well, there's a difference between not liking something and being against it. I guess the issue is, are you against it for yourself, in the way that I am against caraway seeds, or are you against it for others, or believe that gay people should not have the same rights and opportunities as straight people?

If I say that Hinduism doesn't appeal to me, that's one thing. If I say that Hinduism is a major threat to civilization, that Hindus hate God, that Hindus hate families, and that Hindus should not have the same legal rights as other citizens, that's another thing. Do you see the difference?

I dont see it

(sarcasm)

Well, im not saying its like that, not as bad, but its still like that, sorta like... oooh, better keep away.

I don't "like" homosexuality much either, but it's not really due to my faith; I've just never found it appealing. In the same breath though, I like olives (A LOT) and my girlfriend hates them. I guess we can't date anymore?

Maybe his objection isn't one from a moral stand point, but one of taste. I think Sauerkraut is nasty, but I don't take offense to others eating and enjoying it. Would that be a decent analogy?

i dunno, i think at your age, at school, gay kids are probably the most likely to be insecure, so they would certainly seem the most sensitive and easy to hurt... but as they grow up, they realise they can give as much as they take.

Fluffy · Mar 18, 2008

Penguino, would you feel the same way about the following hypothetical person called Brad:

"I am against Hindus. I am against children. I am against anybody who isn't white. I am against people who live in London.

Also...

There is nothing wrong with me believing any of these things.

Also...

No Hindu, child, non-white or Londoner is allowed to find my belief in these things offensive. "

Raising children is the responsibility of the child's parents. It make me so mad when I hear talk about "it takes a village". I get so mad when people want to take the parent's responsibility away from them because they think all the parents are bigots or schools have better judgement than the parents do.

Like it or not, ignorant parents have the right to raise ignorant children. That said, My son converted to Catholicism and my daughter is extremely Liberal. I taught them to think for themselves and to understand that government education is equally as biased as there Conservative father is. Somewhere between the two viewpoints is the absolute truth.

I like that viewpoint. What is the rest of the saying, 'it takes a Village' to... what?

Anyhow, I think disliking homosexuality, and being uncomfortable about it, are two different things. Then, bigotry is something different altogether. The line is blurry! I don't know, I really don't. I have had some very uncomfortable experiences when homosexual men, have signed on to be my carer. They either still had issues about it, or they shout it from the rooftops. Either way, it can make the situation uncomfortable.

It's bad all round, when people have major unresolved issues; whether they be gay or straight.

On the other hand, I have had very positive experiences, with homosexual people. All kinds of people make up this earth.

Nothing more wrong with that, I suppose, than not liking a person for being black, asian, left handed, red haired or female. If you feel OK with disliking those people for those reasons, then who am I to say disliking homosexuals is any different?

If you are actually asking "what is wrong with not liking it" I guess you don't have to like it but tolerance is in order. I can understand people getting annoyed when people try to teach homosexuality as an alternate life style in schools that is going too far as they do not teach heterosexual life styles in school. I guess I got irritated with the gay population in the USA because it was in your face and they were always demanding something unreasonable, this is not the case in Asia gay people have equal rights and don't get in anyones face.

Since when is homosexuality an alternative lifestyle. I'm not necessarily directing this at you but the term "lifestyle"...why do we apply in that manner in which it should not be applied. Sounds like an attempt to sugarcoat the issue.

Homosexuality/Heterosexuality are not lifestyles. They are. Going out to eat at Denny's every Sunday, reading the paper every day, jogging in the evening, etc. are lifestyle choices. The foods we eat, the drugs we do/do not take, the music we listen to........that's lifestyle.

Yes, there is a gay community within certain areas but the idea that because someone is a GLBTQ that they belong to the "gay community" is the same as saying that redheads belong to the "ginger community".
