Why is it wrong to be homosexual?

There is nothing wrong with it.\nLet's remember that many couples--gay AND straight, have children with the help of modern medical practices. \nAlso, there are many committed hetero couples that never produce children.  Being in a committed relationship does not require the creation of offspring. \nLet's also remember that it takes more than having sex to have a good relationship. There are very many healthy, functioning relationships between same sex people.  The belief that gay relationships are all about sex is ignorant.\n\nI would also like to add what should be obvious, but it seems no one talks about it.  Look at all the children who have been dumped, kidnapped, abused, neglected or killed by their parent(s).  Clearly, some people should NOT be having babies.  So, I would argue, it's not wise for every hetero person on earth to have children.

Some heterosexuals think homosexuality is not normal. Well I've got new for them big time: it's natural. The human species is one of the rare species with so few homosexuals. More than 450 animals and bugs engage in homosexual, or bisexual sex. It's normal. Humans just have a way of thinking that was isn't exactly the same as them is evil, and is to be condemned.\n\nNobody has the right to say love is a crime. Besides, no one can really help falling in love. You don't exactly choose with whom you fall in love with, either. And, most importantly, you fall in love with a person, not a gender.\n\nPeople need to be shown tolerance more. Not just homophobes. Everyone. Every human being that hates without a valuable reason.

Most Christians will tell you no. They will also tell you that being gay is a choice. In some cases, perhaps homosexuality is a product of environment, but in most cases, I think it's something that you are born with. \n\nThis is one of the issues I considered in my decision to leave Christianity. The Bible says it's wrong, but never says why it's wrong - like a lot of other things. I think that you can still be a Christian and be gay, personally. But I'd have to wonder what gay person would want that, as there's nothing they can do about being who they have been since birth. Seems to me that it's a sad thing to join up with an ideology that says you are evil simply because you don't love the "right way."\n\nI have never seen anything inherently wrong with being gay.

As a christian, I have a distaste for homosexuality, but that does not mean that I should hate you. Jesus loves everyone, even those who do not follow in his path. I don't take homophobia as a bad thing, in a society the majority will naturally be heterosexual, making homosexuality a deviancy. It's just natural for a civilization to be wary of that.\nBut going back to your beliefs that the christians "hide" behind the bible, we don't. The bible defines our beliefs and therefore we must follow them to the best of our abilities. That includes disapproval of homosexuality. I'm sorry that you've been burdoned with this, just know that Jesus' love really is unconditional.

Homosexuality is quite obviously no more a choice than heterosexuality is.  \n\nIf Homosexuality is a choice – then when did you choose not to be gay?  When did you look at the options, and choose to be heterosexual?\n\nCould you choose to be homosexual?  Then why do you think that other people can, and do?

No.  I believe some people are born with gay tendencies, but they still have a choice whether to act on them on not.  Being gay shouldn't be classified with theives and murderers though.  They aren't harming other people.  One can have their own beliefs without using harsh words or bashing.  It is against God to be gay but we are all under construction and have to find out the hard way on everything on this earth.  God said "Judge not, lest you be judged".  A gay person may be living in sin and won't admit it but they still have feelings and the right to be treated with respect just like everyone else.  How else will they open their ears to the truth?

I say to each their own.I don't think that they're nasty and there's nothing wrong with being gay.People at a young age are discovering their sexuality and some are straight while others are gay.I have had gay friends before and I treated them equally as I did with my straight friends.As long as they don't go into detail about their sex life,that's fine.Some people prefer their own sex instead of the opposite.

A homosexual is defined as someone who is romantically and sexually attracted to the same gender.\n\nThe key words there are "romantically" and "sexually". If a straight guy has sex with someone of the same gender, the action may be a homosexual action, but that doesn't necessarily change the persons orientation. They may only do it once and never again and there may have been circumstances (like alcohol or drugs, etc) to explain the otherwise odd behavior. The rest of the time the guy always has sex with the opposite sex and persues romantic relationships with the opposite sex. That makes him heterosexual. If he prefers to engage in both sex and romantic relationships with both genders that would make him bisexual and depending on the degree of his bisexuality would determine which gender he prefered to seek out most (man or woman). If a homosexual man decides not to engage in any sexual action, that doesn't mean the desire to has gone away. Nor does that mean that the man's desire to be romantic with another man has gone away either (and oddly the Bible and other sacred texts often used to condemn homosexuality only talk about the sexual act, but not the romantic act...apparently it's okay to be romantic with your own gender). \n\nThat is why it is odd when people say things like "hate the sin, but love the sinner" and then call homosexuality a sin. They simplify homosexuality often down to the action of sex with the same gender.....yet, these same people who say that this is the sin will then continue to condemn the person for simply having the homosexual desires still even if they are not engaging in sexual acts. \n\nThe basic thing that most people miss is that being homosexual isn't just about wanting to just have sex with someone of the same gender. It is about being romantically attracted to the same gender, too. Falling in love with the same gender. Sex may never actually enter into the picture of some homosexuals who are in romantic and loving relationships....yet they are condemned and told they are going to hell because it is assumed that they are having sex or assumed that just by them sharing love with each other that this is wrong (yet, do we not love our friends and family, too...and yet loving friends and family of the same gender is not wrong, why is it wrong when we find a romantic companion whom we may not even engage in sexual acts with?)\n\n\nI see a lot of hypocrisy with the issue and being a homosexual myself, I decided to stop caring about what other people think and focus my life on God without them and their opinions (because if hypocrisy exists in their opinions, then it cannot be from God). I'm a Hindu now, a religion that is very diverse and ranges on its views. When it comes to homosexuality, any condemnation that some Hindu sects have of it isn't based upon religious belief, it is usually about defending tradition or other reasons.

Gee, it must be difficult for you to deal with this, many couldn't. Everyone thinks that being homosexual is simple black and white by definition. Same gender sex. But they don't understand that it can be more complicated.\n\nHomosexuals are NOT against nature...many creatures of the animal kingdom pair up same gender. So that proves it's not perverted as some prudes claim.\nBut there are two sides to this coin....\n\nThere are true male male / female female attractions that equal homosexual types - they prefer the same sex, yet they also enjoy being their gender be it male or female.\n\nThen there are transexuals - those that are physically male/female - but they are spiritually or essense wise, the opposite gender. They don't like being physically the opposite of "who" they are inside. They are men trapped inside of female bodies and hate being female. They tend to dress like guys and  act like guys. It's who they are inside. They like females, not because they "are" female, but males. It's just that they are in a female body. Same thing for the guys, they are really females...and like males because of who they are not what body they are in.\n\nThis can be very confusing for this type of person, cause they are hetero yet due to the physical form are doomed homosexual. Many of this type opt for the surgery that can make them as physically like their inner energy as possible.\n\nSome people become violent or angry if they find out the female they go out with was once a male. They claim fraud. How? This person was born physically male, yet was inside female. She only changed the outside to match her true self. She's hetro...and due to surgery able to be so freely. There persons are not true homosexuals. \n\nThose of both genders have it even harder. If a child is born with both genitalia sometimes the parents pick one - but what if it's the wrong one...? Some decide to wait til later to make the choice...it's difficult, emotional and hard for everyone,\n\nPeople need to just get over what other people do in private. If they aren't "doing it" in the streets - what's the problem?\nIf it doesn't effect their work or interfer with things who cares?\nWe need to focus on the real issues, and stop making a big fuss over nothing.\n\nWhat is wrong with homosexuality? Nothing! It also doesn't contribute to the population problem and they make great parents. Trust me, I know several that are great folks and their kids are a toss up. Some are hetero and some are homosexual. Difference is, their folks are ok with whatever makes them happy. \n\nIsn't that the way it should be?

because they pick and choose portions of the Bible they will accept and reject.  They still take homosexuality as a sin, even though scientifically nowadays it is considered to be genetic and not a choice an adult makes.\n  There are sections in the Bible stating you cannot wear clothes of more than two fabrics, yet I doubt that is considered morally wrong anymore.  Menstruating women were considered unclean, I would like to see them get on their high horse and try making that legally binding.\n   Homosexuals are determined at conception or at least very soon after,  They contribute as much to society through taxation and work skills as any heterosexual person, they have the same vital organs, the same thought capacity and the same social and moral obligations as any one else.  Therefore they are equal to the rest of society

Since people are born either gay or heterosexual, how can it be wrong to be in love with the person that you feel innately attraction to?

When you're gay (like half the people who commented on this probably arent, so they dont get it) you don't choose it.  Theres a point where you realize you are different... and its usually kinda scary.  So yeah, its natural.  If not then why do most upper forms of mammalian life do it?  Hmm?  \n\nHello?  You idiots out there with no idea what its really like to be gay?  Tell me something,.. do you think we would CHOOSE to be something that gets us beaten up, politically isolated and denied some of our basic human rights?  Get real... telling us gay is not natural and we should get with the opposite sex is like telling you to hook up with someone of your own sex.

There is nothing wrong with being gay, be proud of who you are.  \nNow search for a GOD that you want to worship and who will accept you.   GOD is all loving\n\nDEMOCRACY IN HEAVEN

Society has embedded everyone into thinking there is "right" and "wrong".  You can choose to change your sexual orientation because people make you feel like that is the way to be valued as a person.  But, you won't.  You will mess everything thing up in your natural, God given, mind.  It's totally a.ss backwards to put yourself through such enduring psychological trauma.  Also, this supposed "HELL" everyone is telling youth about is an invention made by man.  The hell you will experience is here on earth if you let biggoted people who claim to be "Christian" tell you that what you are feeling is "wrong" and that will ultimatley make you angry at God.  When you deny something it will stare at you every single day of your life.  When you accept who you trully are, you can move on.  After all, that is ultimatley what evolving is.  Good Tidings

i think your real problem is the conflict between your sexuality and your religion. i personally think there is nothing wrong with being gay. it would be the best for you to accept yourself the way you are, but that would mean you'd have to alter your religious beliefs to understand that your sexuality does not change your faith.
