I completely agree! I am in a similar situation, my whole school is like OMG! you're gay? WTF? I'm completely straight, i have a lot of gay/bi/lesbian friends though, and it's always been like wtf? why do you talk to them. I beleive a lot of people believe that just because the person is gay/bi they're gonna try and get into your pants. Fact, some are like this, most are not. I don't see why it matters, love is blind as they say, love doesn't choose a certain gender because its "proper" I don't see why we should have to either. And I also don't understand why people frown on those who date gays/bis/lesbians because really it does not change them. My boyfriend happens to be bisexual, he isn't any different in the way he feels about me than a straight guy. So I don't personally see the big deal... But maybe that's just me.
I hate it when people call other's "gay" "homo" or "fag" as an insult. I have a lot of friends who are gay and bi. Im bi. A lot of people leave me alone which is good. But I have heard some people getting made fun of. And that hurts.
Somtimes its hard to cope with the face that some people are gay but I have to deal with it because this sexuality is in my Family
#%@Mz$mith4eva#*&
I agree completely. Whenever i hear someone say that being gay or bi or whateve is gross, I just look at them all serious ans say 'why?' And honest to god, they have no reason. I've grown up with the acception of lesbians, because my aunts are lesbian. And what really ticks me off is when people say that God hates you because your gay. I just wanna shake some sense into those kind of people. God loves and accepts everyone and thats that.
I couldn't agree more. What I wonder about is why gay men are considered vile and disgusting and lesbian women are considered hot? It's not right. I've grown up with everyone in my family, including me, being straight, and yet I still see nothing wrong with being gay. It really makes me sad to see these anti-gay people in our society.
I agree. Why do people have to be so discriminating to gays? My friends always make jokes about gays, lesbian, and bisexuals, and I'm getting tired of it. Two of my friends and I are trying to do something about it at school, and then people call us lesbians. How would they react when they find out one of us was bisexual? I'm the bisexual one, and I'm coming out.
It pisses me off everyday of my life when i hear someone use gay or fag as an insult.I'm how u say in the closet still about me being bi. My family has no clue and each and everyday is hard for me, keeping a secret from my family. I told my younger bro but all he does is black mail me with it. I wanna come out so bad but my mom would kick me out of the house. People make fun of gays,bisexuals,lesbians,trans,etc all the time at my school. We have a club of GSA (gay straight alliance) and we were walking out of the club and i heard some people say here come the fags, i was so angry i wanted nothing more than to tell them off.
i agree. most people say love comes in all shapes and sizes - so why can't they accept same sex marriage? Now people think its funny to make up reasons to call people that. Im straight but this still seems wrong. The only problem with this is that there are lots of diseases that gay's or lesbians can get. And without a man and a woman together we cannot procreate...
I get sick of hearing people at school talk about how "disgusting it is" that they "have to watch lesbians in the hallway"...if you have a problem, DON'T LOOK!!! Two of my coolest girl friends are going out and they were hugging and a girl just screamed at how "gross they were. Needless to say, I was deeply offended. I'm not gay, but gay people have feeling that people need to respect.I have many friends who are gay or bi and they are great people. It is no one's business if people are gay or not. Whatever makes someone happy, that is all that should matter.
Also, I think it is terrible to call people things like like "fag" "gay and "homo". Those words come from the mouths of ignorant and small-minded people.A lot of homophobes are repressed gays. People need to realize that there will always be gay people, no matter how much they hate them; respect them, their choices and their feelings; and open up their mind.
That's one thing i cant stand about a person. It's like "Eww! There gay" Im straight but I have some friends who are gay. And they are like the coolest people i could ever know. There also funny and i like talking to them more than i like my homophobic friends. I mean it makes no since to me! There still cool to hang with.
I have plenty of gay and lesbian friends. I am not gay myself, but i accept them like regular people. and i also think that using those words like fag homo or gay are wrong and very disrespectful towards them. They are pretty cool to hang around because the respect you for who you are, they understand your differences just like you can understand theirs, its their life to live, who says they have to be like other people.
many people hate what they dont understand so is a learning and educating thouse that dont get it me as being a gay person have to make that diffrence for others to understand posting your view and opinion is a great way to start
I think it is wrong to I am a bisexual and people think I am wierd
i am 100% straight and i think there is nothing wrong with being gay and i hate it when ppl say its a choice. i dont wake up and say im going to like buys today but tomorrow i like girls. i like boys, thats what is natural to me.
if there was an opposite world i wouldnt ppl saying its wrong to marry a man.
if being different is wrong then everbody should b discriminated against.
Right On, Dude!
I feel the same.
I mean since when do we tell someone who to love?
Im straight but I tend not to judge gays.
Im Christian and I dont stand against it.
And it gets me really mad when
Alot of overly religious people go "Gay is a sin"
Well so is JUDGING,LYING,STEALING,CUSING and we all do it!
I believe you should love whoever the hell you want.
Im not no one to stand against it.
And im deffiently not God to judge.
And I HATE it when people say they hate gays and judge them and dont even want to touch them its like C'MON! MAN, ITS NOT LIKE THEY HAVE COOTIES
THERE PEOPLE JUST LIKE US! I just uggh, sometimes want to scream at them! They make it seem like an awful thing.
Well thats MY opinion.
It's sad that most people don't even realize how much they hurt the one's they love with their hate. Like my grandama she always talks about how much she hate gay people, i can't stand being around her. I hurts when ya feel your own grandmama hates you. Or my mom who knows i'm gay always talks about how wrong it is.
Well I am not gay but my brother is and i just can't get over the fact that people think that being gay is a choice! Being gay is not like choosing what school to go to or what close to were.. it is not something that you just wake up and say " It's a beautiful sunny day... Let me just be a homosexual" It is not planned, it just happens. You are happy with being with a person of your same sex and if that is so than so be it. Gay people should never feel that they are some kind of different species in the world... I mean who are we to judge them... we are all created igual...
And let me just say that people who use God to project there own insecurities telling gay people that God hates them, that they are going to hell are people who don't fully understand the true meaning of God and his love towards us.
It just hurts me to see how my brother and many others like him are constantly being stripped of their human rights by ignorant people...
And for those of you who are gay and have felt that they don't belong in this world or that there is something wrong with them or hated... i am deeply sorry for how you may have felt that moment and may still be feeling... but know that there is nothing wrong with you, that you are perfect just the way God made you and that you are always loved in my eyes

Gay people have never harmed anyone, as far as i've known, yet for some reason they are consistantly being attacked by those around them. Christians, biggots, and in many cases, members of their own family. People like to think that because they're the majority, they are superior to the minority. It's bad enough we won't let them marry, but we have to redicule them for their existance? In many ways, homosexuality is superior to heterosexuality. Men and women have two entirely different ways of thinking, so naturally, men and women being with other men and women makes more sense. You rarely see a gay couple break up, because if they can find love through every obstacle, hardship, and protest they come across, then they've found true love.
I completely agree. I mean I'm totally straight, but I don't understand why we can't accept gay/bi/lesbian people. They're just humans like we are. And it's unjust to discriminate against a person because of their sexual orientation. It's not like they have a choice, it's just who they are. And I accept that. But there are plenty of ignorant people out there in the world who don't yet. I hope one day this world can learn to accept everybody for who they are.
i hate it when people say that is so gay. im staight to but why should it bother you. and plus if your a girl gay boys are the best friends to have.
I fully agree! There is a great website by GLSEN, it's www.thinkb4youspeak.com . It's a great resource on how to speak against students using "that's so gay."
You all rock - Keep up the amazing work!
my moms recently got married,it was one of the happiest days of my life!
it is not fair when people find out that my mother is a lesbian,and treat her differently!! it is a huge issue in my life,and it discuss me when people say homophobic things!! I have walked away, literally just walked away from people when they say homophobic things!!
my parents marriage is not federally recognized, even though they've been together for most of my life. I am constantly put in the position of standing up for my parents to peers, and even to adults. At about 4 or 5 years old I was standing in a parking lot,and someone told me that me and my whole family were burning it hell, and would be tortured forever to pay for our sins. that was the first time I ever remember anyone saying anything of that nature to me, and it's been the same ever since. Every day of my existence, and every our.... I am being strong, being brave, standing up for what is right, losing friends, making enemies, and being who I am!!
I am gay and out to family for a long time. I have a gay brother who died of HIV in 1999 and a gay niece also. We all have brought our partners home for many years to Xmas and family get togethers. Mostly was no big deal but now we are older and dad has died, another brother. There arent as many of us now- and I just recently came out to my oldest sister- the last one I hadn't come out to. She refuses to call me now- will call a few days after a birthday thats about it. Pleasant when I am home now which is rare. I can kind of deal with that because at least I pretty much knew she was homophobic- why I never came out to her earlier. At least she is who she is. However, my mom and other remaining sister are increasingly now intolerant- and I find it extremely difficult to even contemplate going home now. I guess I will see them at the next funeral. Its very sad but I feel trapped and have no idea what to do. My mom in May when I was home for her 79th birthday said she was concerned about my nephew- he's too pretty- and he stays with his father (divorced- gay also). My sister and her husband were nodding vigorously- and I asked mom which one made me pretty, her or dad? they all snorted and rolled there eyes- there he goes again. I said, its genetic mom, no way Ethan will catch some gay thing from his gay dad, either he will be or he won't be. I don't know about that she said. I left next morning- doubt I ever go back. I just told them I don't want to "infect" the kids. Sheesh. Now my other sister is sending me republican hate mail. I have asked her to stop- she doesnt and just brings up any horrible thing she can think of that I might have said or done in the past as some justification- she says I am full of hate- all I ever comment on to any of them is a defensive comment if they make a homophobic remark or send hate obama mail etc. I have actually started to hate them now though. Its so sad. I have lost what family I have left.
I have very much a similar situation. It is very sad. I feel so sorry for you. But one thing- never forget that you have done nothing wrong and just because your family is ignorant, it doesn't mean you have to be. I think maybe being gay is a gift in this way it lets us see outside of ourselves a bit in ways straights never could. We know first hand what bigotry is so you would think we at least have an edge that we can avoid that ourselves. What I find most difficult is how not to be bigoted in return to homophobes.
I am having a problem to at school about gay, people think it's such a bad thing i thinks it's way fine. Alot of people don't have room to judge, because just about everyday someone does something homo, like they flirt with other males or females without even realizing it, It's something that has to change, People think i'm gay or homo because i hangout with gays, but their wrong, and because i take up for them they think they have more of a reason to believe that i am.
well in my beahlf i have no problem with gays/lesbians beacuse i have friends like that. Just beacuse they are opposite doesnt mean their different. We come to this world different shapes and sizes, people like that are really stupid because what if your friend tells you that they are like that, would you start treading them different? May so be it but i know you will regret it. I just think were all people, nobodys perfect and just live life to the fullest. :]
HEY,PEOPLE ALWAYS ARE GONNA HAVE A SAY ABOUT YOUR LIFE.SCREW THEM EVERY PERSON HAS AN DIFFERENT SIDE.OK IF SOMEONES GAY OH WELL LET PEOPLE BE PEOPLE AND LOVE WHOEVER THEY WANT.THIS IS A FREE WORLD YOU CAN DATE ANY RACE,SEX,AND LEAGL.PEOPLE TAKE IT TO AN EXTREME TO CALL PEOPLE GAY,FAGGETS,AND ALL THAT OTHER HURTFUL STUFF PEOPLE SHOULD MIND THERE OWN BUSINESS.LIVE LIFE TO THA FULLEST CAUSE YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR GONNA TAKE YOUR LAST BREATHE.
You go mrztiara95!!
Honestly the bible plays into being homosexual. Most people go with what the bible says and that's a big reason why today homosexuals aren't accepted into society. I personally am okay with homosexuality I really don't care if your GLBT its all fine with me. The thing some people have to realize is that being homosexual is a feeling not a choice. You can't help who you love.
again, this gay stuff.
Is it just me, or does it seem that being gay is totally blown out of proportion these last couple of years?
i mean, theres always been gays, but it seems as if now it's the new hip thing.
i go to a high school in the burbs. and believe me when I say, like 80% of the school is gay!
its the weirdest, loveliest, freakiest thing.
so, when I hear how segregated other people are about gays it surprises me, cause literally it feels as if we live in the "Everyones Gay and Bisexual Generation!"
rock-on!!!!!!!!!!
part of me feels that we are living in a time that is so vibrant and so confusing, we are confusing brotherly and sisterly love that we share for our fellow boyfriends and girlfriends as an sexual need-want kind of love. You know, the kind of love that used to be only looked as a man/woman thing.
But so kind of way, it crossed over into gays galore.
then you have people who go, "Well I was born this way!"
I dunno about that, I just know personally, i always preferred female versuses male company. but then again, that could come from the fact my family has alot of females in it- so I don't have many male figures to spend time with.
Anyone else has anything to say?
p.s. its here in chicago! (p.s. to all the gays- if your looking to move here or new york is soo the place for you :D
i am bisexual and i came out to some ppl and than it leaked out and spread like wildfire. i was so depressed and felt betrayed...only to find outit ws my brother goin behind my back. just this morning i got jumped only bc im bisexual. i have tried to start a gsa here but when ever i get close the principal and schoolboeard are throwin more obstacles in my way. it hurts to know yourown family hates you, and probly always will, the only ppl in my fam who treat me the same are my 2 les aunts(who ar the most amazing people in the world) my dad( who is gay) and his 2 brothers(who are gay as well) and my little sister(who is straight and my best friend in the world) when i told her the shit im gettin she hugged me and cried. im 16 she is 13. when i am with her i feel like im not alone. i have her and my friends. but ppl dont realize the damage the inflict on others,.
You need God in your life.
I'm with fruit-nukes

if any of you were not a virgin before you were married, sorry, according to the bible, i have the right to kill you and you are going to hell. picking and choosing bible verses doesnt make you a very holy christian now does it?
I think of it this way I am free to date who I want to date girl or boy.
my name is Jessica. im 18 years old and for most of my life i was to ashamed to admit that im gay, but last year i finally decided it doenst matter, as long as im happy. and to all u haters that think its wrong, well obviously ur gonna go t gell becasue u cant accept everyone like God can.
i no wat u mean hun, its the same here except i have no family that accept me now. im 18 nd alone. i have lived by myself since i was 16.
I agreed with almost everything on this page, until I saw this, and if I kept reading I'm sure I'd find something else but...I digress.
For the record, there is NO DISEASE a lesbian, gay man, or bisexual (man or woman) can get or spread that a heterosexual man or woman cannot. Not one.
A common misconception is that AIDS is running rampant only in the homosexual community, but honestly, the true largest medium to spread this devastating disease it is miseducation, which is a true shame.
Also, you are right about it being biologically impossible to procreate with 2 women or men (for now), but that's another great reason for adoption- there's SO MANY orphans out there that have to wait to "age out," if they even make it that far, between crime and drugs and whatnot...
Just some things to think about. =]
well most straights dont understand why people are gay,lesbian,or bi...
Im bi and my best friend is a lesbian. Iv'e noticed that most people rather hangout with me because of my sexual orientation and I hav something in common with them. I do think it's just ignorant. One of my friends made the comment that she rather kill herself than be gay that truely hurt my feeling. What really gets on my nerves is when people say GOD HATES GAYS!!! No one can really speak for God and last time I checked God loves everybody.
Really, the comment is hurtful but its not gunna change the fact that they like the same sex.
HAHAHAHAHA, alright....
"colors123" what bible are you reading? i think you're delusional, sorry.
I'm not trying to be rude, or belittle you or anything of the sort, but seriously?
come on.
not only are you judgmental, derogatory, and WRONG...but you're also creating a misconception in the mind of a people that already form a major belief system built around the fact that God hates them all.
I'm sure you've seen this bible verse:
Matthew 7:1-2
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
Nobody likes a hypocrite, just saying. =]
And fyi- SIN IS SIN IN THE EYES OF THE LORD. This is one thing you bible-slinging, say anything, but don't really have a leg to stand on people don't really understand (no offense). This means, if you lie, cheat, steal, or murder, have sex before marriage, or (in the eyes of SOME) are a homosexual, it's all the same, it doesn't matter...you sinned.
But what are the rules you can't break? The ones you must live by? THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. Oh and by the way...thou shalt not murder, that's one of them, and last time I checked, there wasn't an "unless it's a raging homosexual or premarital sex-haver" clause in there" so guess what? By all logic, you're going to hell along with all the rest of us "vagrants". SEE YOU THERE! =D
BAHAHAHA!
You people make me crack myself up.
Your hatred fuels OUR campaigns! duh...
lawls...
And to everybody else out there, especially all my LGBTQ brothers and sisters (and everybody else in between there aren't any letters for yet lol) all my PEACE and LOVE! xoxo...
Patience is a virtue, one day this ignorance won't matter ONE SINGLE BIT!
Our equal rights are coming one day, hopefully one day very soon...and all those that have a problem with it can just get over it, and learn to coexist. One day, we'll hardly ever know the difference...
And please, for those of you who are religious, keep PRAYING...remember, in the hands of the LORD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!
God loves all his children, no matter what all the haters say. =]
Matthew 7:1-2
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
-Uh...So...Is no one else not seeing the religion who follows this being a hypocrite?
And, FYI someone who does not believe in a "Lord" does not believe in "sin."
So, that girl who was raped, did she sin? Let's force her to marry her rapist! Or, better yet, let us not only stone her rapist, but let's stone her too!
Thou shall not murder...
How many Christians are in prison for murder?
Probably more than atheists or that of any other religion, but then again, I do not feel like checking statistics.
Also, just like sin, for someone who does not believe in a "God," they do not believe in a "hell."
And, just so it is out there to everyone, once you're dead, you're dead. That is it. Your body functions have stopped working. There is nothing.
This was not at all against anything you said, LiL_MiSS_PRiNCESS, I was adding arguments with your choice of topics.
Hello everyone. I am just wondering why people are fun of discriminating homosexuals. Homosexuals are just like us. They have the right to live in this world. They are also humans. They know how to care to others and to help others. For me, don't discriminate them because I believe that homosexuals are smarter than us. They are critical thinkers and they can be our future leaders.
I don't understand why people think being gay is wrong. I'm completely straight, but i support gay rights. My family doesn't understand why I am in favor of gay marriage, but their only reason against it is "god". Gay people have rights, too. We're all citizens of Earth and we all deserve to be treated equally. If being gay isn't normal, then being straight isn't normal. We'll never know...
its wrong being homo is wrong
I am a "homo" as you would call it, and i an extraordinarily proud! You are bigoted, and I will not tolerate that!
Other than "god" give me one good reason being who you are is wrong? And try to debate with eloquence.
All right this ashlee92 is starting to annoy me. You need to be educated before you start saying being gay is wrong. WHY? Because the bible says so? It also says if a woman has short hair it is her shame and if a man has long hair it is his shame and they should be killed. Take religion out of the equation, what is wrong with being gay? Now being gay is not a choice, some people im sure just love to indulge in the latest thing, but the honest to goodness people that are gay do NOT choose to. Why would you choose something that gets u ridiculed and hated? I once was talking to a girl who said "Being gay is a choice," then she said, "I heard there's some science that says being gay is a mental disorder" NOW WAIT A SECOND!!! If its a mental disorder how can it be a choice?? If i wake up one morning im cant say, I think ill be mentally slow today and tomorrow ill be skisoprenic. YOU CANT CHOOSE IT!!! There have actually been studies that have shown the straight men and gay women have the same sized brain and gay men and straight women have the same sized brain. Gay men and women also put off different hormones. Love is blind.
love may be blind but its a choice to be gay its not my falut that they want to be ritcaled by us people that are right about God. I believe in Him and follow him i may be judemental but i do what i want and i was raised the way i was for a reason
[admin: deleted offensive language]
Once again not suposed to hate people who are going to hell because well if you think about it pratically everyone would b going to hell,so that would b a lot of hate. and once again God doesnt agree with hate!
and as for everyones gay all of a sudden i kind of agree.
I mean there are those who actually know. but i personally do know people who are just faking to get attention(yes they actually admitted to faking it).
and this faking makes it harder for those of us who arent faking.and who are actually fighting to be able to love who we love.
~Shane
I agree with you love shouldn't be based on gender but the extent to which you are happy. Most people don't understand that and that may be because of the families or the environmental influences. Continue to spread your opinion to others and to help them see that they are untimely people like you and me.
