Why straight people are generally against homosexuality? Loving somebody should not be a crime in any society?

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.

Definityly gay people should be protected by law. Because there is discrimination against gay people. Therefore, there must be protection. Society can not be change in one day. So, law is very important. There are many details in each country according to this subject. For example in my country, in Turkey, there isn't any law mentioning homosexualism, or punishing it. However, there isn't any law against discrimination, either. You can find the detailed current legal situation of gay people in several countries, in this site:

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 agree with you to an extent. I think as a society there is too much emphasis on labeling and marginalizing people. Everyone's different though. I'm sure plenty of people are specifically attracted to one gender and not the other, while some people could potentially be attracted to/fall in love with someone of the same or opposite sex. I think people should accept love wherever and however they find it.

I agree with you 100%.  I think there are many reasons why people are threatened by homosexuals.  Many people hate anything that they don't understand.  And then there are others who want to force their religions down people's throats.  Several people still hang on to stereotypes such as homosexuality being a disease/disorder.  And there are many who simply hate everyone who's different from them.\n\nOh, and before some idiot responds by saying that marriage is a religious institution and therefore homosexuals should not be allowed to marry, I'm going to address the issue...  If your opinion is that homosexuals should not marry simply because marriage is a religious institution then why are people permitted to marry without the permission of the church?  Why do people get their marriage licenses from the government rather than the church?  Why are people permitted to have civil ceremonies?  The truth is that, your arguement would only be valid if you were also argueing that NO ONE should get married unless they were religious.  Your arguement would only be valid if you were in favor of taking marriage out of the hands of the government altogether.\n\nI'm sick of religious arguements against homosexuality.  To these people who feel that homosexual marriage should not be permitted because "God" doesn't approve---  Do you suggest that laws be passed which ban premarital sex?  Do you suggest that laws be passed which ban "partaking of anything harmful to your body"?  Do you suggest that laws be passed which force you to pay tithes?  Do you suggest that laws be passed which force you to attend church?  We are supposed to be have the freedom to choose our own religion (or to not choose one).  Not permitting homosexuals to marry is just one way of trying to force a religion on people.\n\nAnd as far as the effects that homosexuality has on children is concerned...  What effects?  Do you have some kind of proof that it adversely affects children?  Treating homosexuals like they're "bad" is what can cause confusion for children.  If children are taught that it's ok to live your own life then they won't have negative feelings and confusion.  I've heard some people say that they believe children will be influenced into "turning gay", which is a ridiculous arguement because the same could be said with regards to heterosexuality.  Sexual behavior is LEARNED.  No one is born one way or the other.  Therefore children can feel pressured and be influenced just as easily by both homosexuals AND heterosexuals.   What's important is to teach children that everyone has a right to their own lifestyles.\n\nOh, and there's the arguement that homosexuality is dangerous to marriage....  HOW?!!!  My marriage is wonderful.  And I haven't met one single person who has experienced marital problems because of homosexuality.

homosexuality is really an expression of authority on part of one male and submission on the other,it is really strictly a male nonsexual behaviour inspite of what everybody wants others to believe.thats why women are hypnotized into believing they could possibly also have same sex attraction when obviously all sex with women is about men and family  and social life.its a fag conspiracy internationally,\nproof\nwhy would gay fags want to be married? what on earth could make 2 men who already practice their deviance in peace ,what would make them want to commit that ultimatwe parody of everything ultimately sacred ,of the building unit of society?what difference is it for them to be called husband and husband?\nit doesnt make any sense,it indicates that it is a subversive movment fed by the appetites of millions of perverts.

Why is that such a small percentage of the population can cause so much grief. Most of the people in this country still see homosexuality for what it is morally wrong. If they must be together I am not even going to attempt to stop them. Neither will I ever embrace their cause,and this is what really irks me that the homosexual community and their supporters insist that I do so or then I must be a homophobe. The lifestyle in my view is no different than an addiction to drugs or alcohol or any other aberrant behavior. "I often hear live and let live" FINE don't try to force me into accepting what I cannot and will not.

Without wanting to start too much controversy, I do believe it is a mistake of nature, it goes against the very essence of any species, primal instinct forces us to try to propagate the species.  Homosexuality is in direct opposition of that, although I do encourage acceptance, as it is nobodies fault and they should be allowed to live there lives as normal people do.  I just wish they wouldn't be so IN YOUR FACE, "I'M A HOMO YOU BETTER LIKE IT,!!!"  I think by trying to be accepted they go too far and it's annoying.

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?

The British Minister of Equality didn't answer this question because he knows there's no way in Heaven or Hell that he can answer it in such a way that will please everybody.\n\nAccording to most religious people, homosexuality is definitely a sin.  Meanwhile, all the agnostics and atheists in the world (who are an extreme minority compared to the religious but have all the sociopolitical clout for some reason) say that anything a religious person says is inescapably flawed, and so homosexuality is NOT a sin, and thinks that gays and lesbians should recieve medals of courage just for being who they are.\n\nHere's the thing though.  Nobody, NOBODY is born to be a homosexual.  As a sexual species, a human male is supposed to be genetically programmed to mate with a human female in order to continue the species.  Homosexuals of today get confused with gender roles (if a guy is especially skinny and he enjoys the theater, he MUST be gay, right???), and the more we support it, the more people will follow their example.  Homosexuality is a result of faulty human programming, and how society deals with the error.\n\nBut if homosexuality IS a sin, then you're supposed to love the sinner and hate the sin, right? :P

no, why would they be punished, if heterosexuals arent punished for their sexuality then neither should homosexuals.

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with being gay.I have a couple close friends who just happen to prefer the same gender, and I wouldn't change them for the world! I think it's a huge compliment for a woman to tell me she'd like to sleep with me,even though I'm straight.The bible says homosexuality is an abomination in the Old Testament.I'll get back to you on the specific verses.

Well, mainly because it goes against what the Bible is purported to teach, but even that is not quite correct. \n\nGays and Lesbians...I just call it the Gay community...are different...anything that is different...people look at in another way.\n\nPersonally, I believe that we are all just people.....and all of our lifestyles are different in some way.....so it doesn't matter.\n\nI have worked with Gays, have Gay friends, have a Gay step-son and a Gay cousin.  These people are open, friendly, most are very well adjusted and know where they are going in life.  They have little excess emotional baggage like heterosexuals do, since they disposed of this by coming out.   They are my most trusted friends and I respect them as they respect me.\n\nI have worked with Gays who are not well adjusted, and have counseled them  (my job).  We are all the same, same thots, same dreams, same responsibilities.  We all strive to be better and to live together.

people are straight so they can put there genitals to proper use and procreate. gay people are really just perverted. i mean check it for urself. most of them are bisexual. they are just caught up in sex mentally(hey mindless there is no way two men together makes sense. that is not waht those body parts are made for. i dont mean to be the cause of any hate crimes but if someone can show me the logic of that then fine.)

You may as well ask why people are heterosexual too. There is no reason. They just are. I personally do not believe homosexuals, lesbians and bi-sexuals will burn in Hell. God has room in his house for everyone. Even those who fall outside religious doctrine.
