Dawn - Black is not just the color of skin
There are stereotypic behaviours associated with it just as there are stereotypic behaviours associated with homosexuals. Not every gay male is a flaming queer. Not every black guy is a poor basketball playing dude from the 'hood.
The main thing I see with it is: IT DOESN'T AFFECT YOU.
It's not one of the ten commandments, and it's certainly nothing that Jesus taught. Jesus left us with only ONE commandment - Love your neighbor as yourself. If the people next door want to commit a minor sin, and it's between the two of them and no one else, what business is it of yours? You dare to judge them as they live when God himself doesn't judge us until we're dead. That's Christian arrogance at its worst.
What was that other thing Jesus said? Oh yeah - let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

In this day and age it is should be so much more than a simple distinction. Homosexuals are just as much a part of this world as and race. They are just as different form one another as any race.
You have a choice of religion, and yet we frown on judging people by such standards.
The studies are meaningless. That would be like trying to prove that you are born a criminal or not. There is a level where people are born with criminal behavior already there.
I will say that it is my strong belief, mostly because I know homosexuals and I know that with all of them there was never a time when they did not know, just some hid it to hide from closed-minded bigots . None of them go and say that they were once straight and then one day decided to become gay.
Your way of thinking is what I have had a big problem with. All it does is lead to blind hatred and violence, as proven by history.

That made no sense.
All I am saying is that it IS different, even if you don't want to admit it. There are black people that are rich, others that are poor, some that are in jail, some that are lawful people. All they have in common is just the color of their skin.
Homosexuality is different, this is a lifestyle that some people adopt in which they partner with a person of their own sex and commit acts that obviously according to the Bible, HHM, me and others, are deviant.
How can this be the same? The bible does not condemn blacks, it does talk about homosexuals.
In any case, this is a silly debate because we will never agree. I just wanted to voice out my opinion because I think those are totally different things…
BTW, there have been studies made that say that homosexuals are not born that way. Not everything is final in that field.

I don't
You are born homosexual or not, just as you are born black or not. It is not a choice.
Following evolution, homosexuality is a very natural form of population control. the larger the population, the higher the rate of homosexuals and the more accepting we become of them.

Yeah but black is just the color of their skin.
It is not a behavior, way or life or sexual incliantion that is contrary to what the human body was created or evolved -if you believe in evolution- for. Please, you yourself HAVE to see the dinstiction.

It all goes together
If a person says they have a problems with blacks, you would be offended. Why? Becasue you are black. I would be offended as well, since it has nothing at all to do with the person and such a thing should never be thought about in such a generic kind of way.
So why are your treating homosexuals differently than you yourself wish to be treated?

Kooka, I Am Going To Say It Very Slow This Time So You Will Be Able To
comprehend the point that I and a few others are trying to make:
NOBODY HAS A PROBLEM WITH HOMOSEXUALS THEMSELVES
WHAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IS THE BEHAVIOR
JUST AS MANY DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME AS A PERSON
WHAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IS THE VIEWS I HOLD
