If homosexuals were acceptable in society...would they eventually die out?

I think others are misunderstanding your question.  Your point is an interesting one: that gays currently have to pretend to be straight, and therefore they have heterosexual sex and reproduce, against their natural inclination.  If they did not have to hide their sexuality, they would be much less likely to reproduce.\n\nThe only weakness in your argument is the assumption that homosexuality is entirely genetic - this has never been proven.

My answer, no. And as a matter of fact, I find that homosexuals happen to be the most enjoyable, honest, compassionate "group" of people I have met. "What harm is their choice, doing to your life", is my response to homophobes.\n\nBUT ... Boy is this going to set a few people on their ears if the findings are true !!\n\n( released today - 2/24/06)\n"The arrangement of a mother's genes could affect the sexual orientation of her son, according to a new study."\n\n"The finding, detailed in the February issue of the journal Human Genetics, adds fuel to the decade-long debate about whether so-called "gay genes" might exist."\n\nhttp://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/060224_gay_genes.html\n\nMakes one wonder if this finding is confirmed, if the pro-lifers will allow abortions for these "misfits & sinners". After all, God created our genes, didn't he ?? *ahem*

I think any time you can put a child in a permanent, loving and nurturing home, then you should. Who cares what the sexual orientation of the parent are if they can love and provide for the child. And no, I don't think the child will end up homosexual because of it.

Neither. The bisexuals would win as they would just console grievieng spouses. There are too many people on one side that would be working for the enemy ( that is either in the closet or pretending to be gay for whatever reason).

I don't think that the US will have any openly gay president for at least 150 years if maybe bisexuality and homosexuality becomes normal. People are too close-minded to vote for them.

It's true that most members of society didn't really accept gay culture yet but given more time, I'm sure everybody would say, "Who cares!"\nIf a person is gay, let him be himself. It's like being a lesbian too. As daily life gives me more problem I could handle why do I need to care about other people's lives?\nBe yourself and learn to be open minded....that's what the cure to some bigots out there....

I will presume you mean 'openly gay' President since many historians think we've already had a couple of closeted homosexual men serve as President. The answer is; probably some day. Not soon, but when the citizens of this socially backwards nation evolve enough, yes.

Right on, brother! I'm with you all the way. That's the last thing Jesus would do, especially knowing that he purposely created that problem on earth for both gay and non-gay people to deal with. No pain, no gain. If you can be gay and make it through life following the good rather than evil in your heart, congratulations! In my opinion you've made it to heaven. The same holds true for non-gays when it comes to following the good in their hearts.\n\nPS,  I believe there is at least some genetic (gene) component that predisposes most gays to their attraction to the same sex. If so, who but God gave it to them?

Yes ultra tolerance is hurting our society.  You are right that any moral code has to tolerate some things and not tolerate other things.\n\nHowever there are some mistakes here.  Homosexuality was not necessarily more rejected in the past.  Of course it depends on what culture and how far back you go but in Greek and Roman culture it was normal.  ewwww.\n\nOut of some kind of fear and misinformation, time and time again people want to try to link bestiality and pedophilia with homosexuality.  Its just not true!\n\nI'm not Gay but I'm willing to bet that most Gay people hate pedophilia just as much as you do.\n\nPedophiles are almost always misguided heteros or misguided homos.  What I'm saying is that gays are people and that individual people do crimes not the whole community. \n\nThere's lots of people getting away with current crimes.  Punish them.  Being gay is not a crime.\n\nWe tolerate too much ignorance, hate, violence and pollution.  Thats what's harming our society.

I would feel completely depleated, depressed, utterly unwanted. Over all, it wouldn't be a great feeling. If you consider homosexual people and homophobics, you can see an example of that, how some people shun them from society. If I myself were shunned from society, I believe my behavior would include depression and thoughts of suicide... yes, that far, because I myself am a very social person.

I am a homosexual. My partner died of AIDS in August. Even though we had been together for 12+ years I walked away with nothing. I was not allowed to be by his bedside as he lay in a hospital, I wasn't allowed to handle any of his funeral wishes, and I was evicted from my home that we had shared for many many years. So I think civil unions that grant everyone, regardless of sexuality, equality are a necessity. Look into the past regarding marriages and you will find that certain races weren't allowed to marry at one time. Now that would be unheard of. But homosexuals are still stigmatized as the unnatural people, and once that is cured then perhaps we shall all be free.

Unequivocally NO! If they chose that life style then so be it, but as far as benefits are concerned out of the question.  Societies fall from moral decay and that is a fact, and ours is well on it's way, I do believe all this gay and lesbian stuff is about to blow up in their faces.  It is a life style that destroys the vary meaning of marriage between a man and a woman, In my opinion they are an insult to humanity.  I believe it is time our religious leaders and government gives these people a loud and clear message that the party is over and will not be condoned by our society.

who really care if someone is gay, get a life and live it.

Not surprising that the "gay problem" is almost negligible in asian countries, since homosexuality is punishable by death in most of these.  You rarely get true statistics from the closet. As for the African community, you need to go back to anthropology class.  There are a lot of African tribes where homosexuality is acutally encouraged, or openly accepted as part of the social climate.  In college we studied several of these communities - in one in particular, the right of passage for a boy to become a hunter or warrior is for him to drink the semen of the strongest male member of the tribe.  You think he drinks it from a champagne glass?   It is obviously a little bit of both - genetics and circumstance. Sexuality is as individual as fingerprints - no two people are truly identical in their proclivities.  Whose to say one is right and one is wrong? We're just different, as nature intends us to be.

Yes I know someone who know longer chooses the homosexual lifestyle and they follow Christ.  Two actually.  A woman and a man.  The fell in love, got married, and have 2 kids.  They did not turn heterosexual, though.  Think of homosexuality like alcoholism.  That might make some mad, but that is the best analogy I can give.  If you are a follower of the Bible, certain things are wrong.  Just because you have a desire doesn't mean you should act upon it.  Homosexuals are just hurting people, many have poor if any relationship with their fathers and some were sexually abused as children.

All their problems would be gone if they would just stop same sex relationships.
