Nope Snowdogdreams, there is a Robbie Williams - can't get his career off the ground in the US, but phenomenally popular pop singer in the rest of the world. \n\nAs for his sexual orientation, he has won libel damages in 2005 from a number of publications which claimed he engaged in casual homosexual sex. That said, he does occassionally hint at being in love with men: I seem to recall something about his song writer a couple of years ago? \n\nI think he just likes to keep people guessing.

Yes.  To the people saying that being gay is normal, statistically it isn't, he never said anything about them being bad.

It's both! Look up my answer on "why's religion against homosexuality?" I suspect many homophobes are more afraid of something in themselves than outraged by the private act between two guys. The "holy rollers" have a paradigm of values dictated to them. This becomes their identity. Anything different suggests that they may be wrong. \n Why else are there so many religious replys here? If we don't like something, we avoid it. If something is a threat to us, we attack it.

in the bible, God says no. if he wanted gay people, he wouldn't have created adam and eve, it would have been adam and bob, and eve and lisa. it just ain't natural!!!!

If, by the word "homophobic", you mean, "one who is afraid of homosexuals", no, of course not. However, I do not approve of homosexuality, because it is runs against what Jehovah God, the universal soverign, approves of as natural. In God word at 1 Corinthians chapter six, verses nine and ten, "men who lie with men" are listed among those who will not inherit God's kingdom. Verse eleven then adds: "And yet that is what some of you were." This also runs counter to the common idea that homosexuals have no choice in their behavior.\n\nI hope that the difference betweeen disapproving of homosexuality and being homophobic are clear.

As my friend RON White says  there is no such thing as a homophobe because all men are gay to a point....First He asks his cousin does he like Porn....cousin says yes...do you like women on women again he says yes then he asks do you like men with women who have small genitalia or men with large genetalia.Of course without thinking he reponds that he like to see men with large genitalia....My point exactly......lol

No. Homophobes like Ted Haggard that marry yet secretly engage in gay sex is what hurts marriage.

I don't believe he is neither gay or retarded.  My feeling is that he has severe mental issues that he doesn't recognize and therefore doesn't get any medical help.  It's sad that such a musical icon cannot realize that he is his own person instead of trying to physically imitate others with so much plastic surgery.  His sexual identity seems to have never matured past being a little boy, but I'm not qualified to say this for certain.  His life surely has been a '3-ring circus'!

Some people place an inordinate focus on a handful of passages from the Bible (which, as far as literature goes, is terribly overrated) that condemn homosexual behavior as an "abomination."\n\nBecause the Bible is full of contradictory nonsense, what people often do is they pick and choose which parts they will listen to. Like the part about stoning one's children to death if they talk back to you - no one really pays attention to that, or to the passage about how eating shrimp and lobster is an abomination. That would just be too inconvenient.\n\nSo when people already don't like gay people - which is what they pick up from this wonderfully homophobic culture of ours - all they have to do is flip open the Bible and find the passage in Leviticus that agrees with them, and then they can feel perfectly justified in their bigotry. Indeed, they often begin to force this hatred upon others, such as with that awful Fred Phelps and his grotesque little cult in Kansas.\n\nHere's the thing, though: if people do not choose to be gay, but in fact are born that way, what would that say about God? And what would that say about the Bible?\n\nReligious people will either plug their ears or run fleeing from anything that threatens their dearly-head beliefs. It's how they organize their entire thought process about the world and the other people in it, after all. So there is no way they could ever acknowledge that the Bible is mistaken, because God doesn't make mistakes. And if being gay is a mistake, then it must be because people choose to be that way.\n\nBut I look at it like this: those who take the Bible as the inerrant and literal word of God are choosing to be ignorant. Which is also why they continue to think the Earth is only 6,000 years old, was created in six days, and Adam rode a pterodactyl to work.\n\nGive me gay over stupid any day. Cheers!

I wish I could give you a straight answer.  I am like you, I love meeting new people of all races, ethnicities, genders, I like everyone.  Society is too closed minded.  Saying homosexuality is a sin so we should hate gays is ludacris.  If Christians hate gays because they sin then shouldn't they hate alcoholics, rapists, murderers, all other religions, democrates, just the same?  Shouldn't they put forth just as much anger and protest against these groups as well? People who hate homosexuals have ill logic.  We as open minded people need to set the standard and put morons in their place.

yes, i have friends...\n\nthey hated other gays because these other gays make a bad name for gay people.... they cross-dress disgustingly that's why some gays who wear proper clothes are sometimes insulted and made fun of.

I just know of this one guy, one of those who followed him that either he loved a lot or was loved by him a lot. and he asked a guy three times: do you love me?\n\nI dunno if any of that is related to homosexuality...\n\nI just know that he is supposed to have done many other things than what's written in the bible, and that there is a statement somewhere that the law is saint, just and good, so I think that if he was exposed to a homosexual, he would have probably said "I forgive you. go and don't sin anymore"
