another what the fuck moment for you
so im flipping through channels the other day and the news is doing this segment on this one PBS show "Postcards from Buster". for those of you who dont know (because i didnt either) Buster Baxter is the bunny rabbit from the other PBS show, "Arthur". In the Arthur series Buster travels all over the world with his father, and recently PBS network

People came to America to get away from persecution. Now people who have the same beliefs you do are persecuting others.
homosexuals exist the same as heterosexuals do. They always have and always will. Love is love. A homosexual relationship is no different than a heterosexual one. Genitals maybe different, but so are men's and women's.
It's very realistic to portray such a family. They exist. They love. They raise wonderful children. They raise horrible children. It has nothing to do with the fact that they are homosexual. Heterosexual parents have children who are homosexual. Their sexual orientation has nothing to do with their parents. You can't help who you love. That goes for heterosexuals and homosexuals alike.
Also, do you think it would it be better if a child had one mother and no father or two mothers and still no father. Chances are good that the father isn't going to be around in that case anyway. No one has the right or authority to say that raising a child in a straight family is better than raising a child in a gay family.
Also, there are shows that portray domestic violence. That is immoral and wrong, yet still on the air. It goes against christian morals but it's still there because it's realistic. It happens. It happens a lot.
there are a lot of heterosexual people I never ever want any child of mine to be subjected to. including people whose minds that are as closed as yours.
You have no room to judge them, their beliefs, or their family values. You aren't better than them (pride is a sin. I'm sure you know that). It's also not anyone's business how they live, same as it isn't anyone's business how WE live. It's personal and no one has any right to call any more attention to them as to a heterosexual couple.
If you'd like to try and raise the point, that some people do, of how it ruins the sanctity of marriage, how marriage is about a man and a woman, etc etc etc I'm going to have to tell you that marriage is about LOVE. Divorce, lying, cheating, all kinds of messed up things that happen ruin the sanctity of marriage. Love doesn't. Love comes in many different forms but it all boils down to the same thing-love.
If you want to tell me how sex is for reproduction then I'm going to tell you that's bullshit and that you try getting married someday, loving your wife, and not making love to her. You can't take the love out of it. It's not about reproduction. It's about love and out of that love sometimes comes a child. SOMETIMES. Everytime sex doesn't produce a child doesn't make it wrong, does it? No. There are also heterosexual couples who CANT have children or choose not to. You might as well just take your sperm and have it put into her egg medically and not in a physical way since it's all about reproduction anyway, apparently. How bout that?
Do you think all peope who are different from you in a minute way are bad? Do you hate people of other races too? Their skin is different. They were born with pigment in it that is different from yours. How about women? They're different. they were born with vaginas and vulvas. Does that make them bad? If you aren't racist or sexist then how can you think it's wrong to be homosexual?
Take a look at WHY you think it's wrong. Not understanding something can easily make you dislike it and be afraid of it. I'd like to know if you came to this conclusion that is it wrong yourself or if it was the belief of your parents and church and friends. You can't just take what other people tell you and believe it outright. We have brains for a reason. Make your own choices. If you're going to believe something, believe it for the right reasons, not because someone told you to.
Your God loves everyone, why can't you?

one of my closest friends told me he was gay three years ago. before that day i never had a probem with homosexuality. i have never encouraged it. it is one of those things that is part of a person, but not the whole of the person. like color, or religion, or a background. etc etc etc. i had the oppurtunity to get to know this person on so many levels as a friend, as a deeply close friend, not as my token gay friend. and when he told me he was in love... three years ago... with his still current boyfriend, i was nothing but happy for him and their appreciation for each other. if you strip away the notion of sexuality, be it homosexual or heterosexual, it is clear that these two people love each other dearly. they are there for each other.
it was very hard for this friend of mine to "come out of the closet" as they say, to myself and other close friends. in fact, it was only a matter of months ago that he was finally able to tell his own mother. it wasnt that he was ashamed of who he was, so get that thought out of your head if its there. it was that he was SO afraid that she wouldnt accept him as her son, that his brother would deny him, that he would simply be judged for what he is and what he cannot change. thankfully his mother has a big heart... bigger than most mothers i have known... and smothered him and his boyfriend with nothing but love and reassurance of that love.
but it kills me to think that people like my friend have to live in a world where they are afraid to express their love to friends and family, and most importantly, to themselves. he was 18 when he told me he knew he was gay. science is showing now that homosexuality or heterosexuality is determined by the age of three, not later in life as once thought. of course, im sure there are a million different factors that determine such things.
brian, im not saying you are a person of the masses who would throw rocks at someone who, in your opinion, is a sinner. im just typing in a generality. it very much surprises me that you believe it is a disorder. as always i will try to respect your opinion as you have done mine.
but it also kills me to think that if i were gay, and had found the love of my life, there would be people who would want nothing more than to not express my love.
you bring up one point, that like many, has two sides. you said that our bodies are made to fit with the opposite sex. this is very true, to an extent. but now we are in a time in the world where there are so so so many extraneous variables in sex, the one im referring to, mainly, is the idea that the "original" concept of sex and what goes where is, for most couples, gay or staright, not really cutting it anymore. think sex related things that dont have to do with... well, sex. i hope you know what i mean because i dont wanna get graphic on yous. :)
wow this has been a long reply. thanks for reading if you got this far.

ive heard of that theory too. i honestly wouldnt want to rule it out as a factor of how people are shaped, sexuality included, but i dont think its the only factor.

by the way, I think you meant to say "no, it wouldN'T be a better place..." other wise you'd be agreeing with me, and I don't think you meant to do that.
