    ya, I think its strange people use homosexual terms as an insult, as if they themselves believe homosexuality is a bad thing.. and if they do I guess that explains why they say it.. but either way I take no offense to it

    I do not care if people are gay. It is simply a sexual preference. They are still people, and thus I shall treat them as such.

    It has been scientificly proven that gays are born that way. Some problem with chromosomes or something forgot exactly what it was.

    Sounds scientific enough for me :) All my gay friends say they knew they were gay or they at least knew something was different when they were growing up

    I ahve friends who are gay but that doesn't mean I like the idea of gay marriage. Where should we stop it? Why not have as many women as we can afford (or men for the ladies). Why not have two men and two women marry each other? Since civilization has been a line has been drawn to what constitutes marriage a man and a women (ok in the past there has been polygamy practiced, I'd sooner see that come back...), a line was drawn, I believe that is where the line should stay

    Of course not for many reasons.

    Homosexuality promote aids,how you might ask?I'm not exactly sure about the percentage but I think around 50-55 percent of men in usa who are effected with aids had contracted it due to male to male sex.Another thing is that the average gay males has ALOT of partner per average life time(500 I thin)due to the fact that many people are ill educated and of course forget that just because your a man and you can't have babies doesn't mean you don't need to use proper protection.
    Also in the last 30 or so years gay couples have had more right then ever before to the point of being able to adopt a child and having ceremonial marriages in certain country,I seriously can't imagine the mental effect that it would have on a child going through life with males as parents.

    the only reason a child would have a tough time with two male parents is because of our awful society. If people could be more open minded the child wouldn't have a rough 18 years. and Homosexuality does not promote aids. It has been said that gay people have more partners and that is why they are more likley to contract aids... it has nothing to do with .. I'm gay, so I'm going to get aids

    I don't see how you fail to see the logic in that quote.Like you said homosexual has MORE sex partners but in term that also promotes aid.Not to mention the misuse of condoms.Once again your to closed minded,If I was a child and saw other people get cared and loved by a mother while I only have 2 father,that would just suck in many ways.

    my point was the world is too closed minded, and that is why it would suck for the child. And that might make a child jealous and it might not. But children are jealous about a lot of things another child has. But thats up for another debate. What I was saying is its not just homosexuality that promotes aids. ANYONE who is sexual is increasing the risk of spreading HIV, people can't just target the gay community. People say yah homosexuals promote aids more cause they have sex more, but thats almost a stereotype because I'm sure there a lot of heterosexuals that have had more sex than homosexuals.

    Actually no,If you search around a little then you would know that the average partner a straight pair might have is low compared to that of homosexual men.That is where commitment comes in,male to male relationships doesn't need as much commitment(I'm basing this on the fact that their average sex partner is so high)as say a straight one.Also let me ask you this,what purpose does homosexuality do for the population as a whole?Nothing except for the few who are going through with homosexuality,can't say the same for a straight realationship because that is how our population thrives to survive.

    I never would want my kids growing up thinking its ok to be gay because it just isnt....

    Well maybe more guys should be gay so we dont have so many damn kids in foster care / being killed / abortion.

    @ rash, I always use protection... and if you really want to get technical? Most aids are in africa maybe you should go and tell them to close their legs.

    Why?Because they can't even buy a bowl of beans,where in the world do you except them to get condoms?I'm here to debate and if this topic makes you so angry then maybe it should get closed.I have shown no favortisim or hatred but rather opinion base on facts.

    If you pay attention he did not say they have to use condoms. What he said is that they should practice abstinance or perhaps not have sex period if they do not want aids.

    The only time gay marraige should be stopped is if the population is severely reduced. At this point our population is WAY TOO HIGH. There is no [logical] reason to ban gay marraige. The only reason you would think it is, because your parents tought you a horrible idea.

    And I also said that they were ill educated,where do you think they can afford money for school to even learn about aids or the importance of protection.Be real,your telling man to not do somthing that is in his blood?Right maybe you shouldn't go outside because you can catch west nile.

    Also what your saying is that we shouldn't stop this disease because it keeps the population down?Unless you stand in a position where a love one has died of aids then that is just your personal opinion.

    Lastly don't bring my parents into the debate please,seriously are you trying to throw personal attacks at me?Sorry if you still have to wait to graduate but not everyone is like you and I'm expecting my first child in a couple of month.As you can see I'm very independent and of course this is
    how I feel and nobody can change that,not even my parents

    Angel-Whats the point of quoting my quote?Isn't this thread about if a person agrees that gay should be allowed or not?To me its not so obviously I would say that my kids shouldn't think its ok to be gay.I never brought hatred into this thread because Its just how I feel homsexuality would affect us as a whole.If you continue to bring your personal feelings and getting offensive about it then I will stop responding to you because obviously you were expecting everyone's acceptance.

    P.S Be gay all you want,I wouldn't care.As long as you don't advertise it to my kids then I'm happy.Also don't center yourself to represent the WHOLE gay community,your 1 in millions so just because your smart doesn't mean they all are otherwise the homosexual men wouldn't have one of the largest cases of aids outbreaks in usa.

    Well I don't like falling into a category thats not me... Just because I have sex with males doesnt mean I don't use protection. Maybe I didn't understand fully but sounded like "your gay you spread aids"
