I don't really care about it. As long as they love each other why not?
My school has this club that pretty much supports it or .. rather trying to raise positive awareness of it.

My school also supports it. We have a group for those who are/support homosexuals. I personally don't support it, basing that on my values. This does not mean however that i am racist or what not to ppl who are. People have the freedom to choose how they want to live their life, and i still respect them as people.

If two people are in love gender doesn't matter.
That said gays and lesbians still need to have appropriate
conduct in public. Which it seems some don't in an attempt to get attention.
And no I refuse to believe the "Sanctity" of marriage is reserved for only a man and a woman.

it' doesnt matter if two people of the same gender are in love, as long as they love each other
and frankly i think others should start accepting this fact and stop wasting their time trying to
stop it.

I think same-sex relationships are wrong. That being said, this is just my personal opinion, and I DO NOT force it onto anyone like religion and such tend to. I have friends and know people who are gay/bisexual, and thats cool. If they truly feel loved by another person who is of the same sex then that's what they feel,it's their freedome to choose. I know MY sexuality, they know there's, everyone's kosher, so I say just let it be.

People can love whoever they want to, and be with whoever they want to. Doesn't matter to me.

I strongly support them. I don't actually know anyone who's gay/lesbian/bisexual, but they're still same human beings, like any others. It's their choice, we should give them the freedom of picking their partners.

I am gay, and this is one of my concerns for going away to school. I've heard some Rez horror stories, so I'm actually going to be getting my own apartment. In my personal experience, being open in public isn't a good idea. My boyfriend and I don't hold hands, unless we're ten minutes into a movie at a theater, and we know everyone is getting into the movie and it's dark. I have, unfortunatly, been to court because I've been assulted. So the world can be a horrible place for anyone that chooses to show their differences. That being said, there are clubs that I have heard of at Universities that help. So I'm hoping the school I attend has one.

Most schools have LGBT* associations, or the equivalent. In my opinion, people are people. We all deserve the same rights, regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation. I am also pro-gay marriage. It isn't just about the "true definition" of marriage, but about the rights and privileges that come with a marriage certificate. It simply isn't right to deny those things to some people and not others.

Wow.. I am definitely going to get chewed up over what I'm about to say.. I believe Gay marriage is wrong. (Im not just going to say it's "my personal opinion" either) When God created the world (yes I believe in God, I'm a Christian) He created Man and Woman. Adam and Eve.. he made them for eachother.. he didn't give adam another man! That is how it was meant to be, that is how it should stay. It is very clear in the Bible That Homosexuality is a blatant sin.. Now don't get me wrong, I know that I'm a sinner as well as anybody and no sin is greater than another, but that doesnt change the fact that it's wrong. And don't think I hate Homosexuals either, I mean I've been to cadet camp lol.. I've met a lot of bisexuals there and they are great people! I have gay friends and I have nothing against THEM at all.. just the way they've twisted God's perfect and holy idea of marriage.

If there was evidence that Christianity was true, you might have a point. There isn't though, so I have no clue why you would subscribe to the beliefs in some unverified book. Plus, why would you live by some of the principles in the Bible but not all of them? If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl’s virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house.-Deuteronomy 22:20-1 For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death.-Exodus 35:2 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.-Ephesians 5:22-24 Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.-1 Peter 2:18 I could go on all day. The Bible is a joke.

First of all, Stringer, I wont explain to you why I'm a Christian because let's face it.. nothing I say here would ever convert you to my way of thinking =p
Secondly, the two verses you took from Deuteronomy and Exodus are in the OLD testament... Before Jesus Came.. things were done differently then in a different culture, Before Jesus died for us so we didnt have to. (back then they also sacrificed animals to be forgiven for their sins.. now we dont have to Because God sacrificed his Son for us) Sure now you're going to say, well Adam and Eve were in the Old testament! True, but the Bible still talks about same-sex relations as wrong even in the new testament, (Romans 1:24-27) (1Corinthians 6:8-10)After Jesus came. It's still relevent. (Im not going to quote the verses because that will just cause more controversy =p look them up if you'd like)
P.S I do believe in everything the bible says, including wives submitting to their husbands. (not meaning silent pushover slaves.. there's more than one way to look at it) But keep in mind that Husbands are required to do just as much.. giving total respect to their wives etc. And the reason slaves were told to submit to even harsh masters is because in obeying God and doing his will, they will inherit the kingdom of heaven.. besides, what were the slaves supposed to do? rebel and then get beaten?

Same sex relationships don't really bother me if that's all it is. Don't bother me, I won't bother you. There's no need to shove it in my face if you choose a different lifestyle.. I'm happy that you're happy. lol Same sex marriage on the other hand. Here's my view. It says in the bible specifically that marriage is between a man and a woman, so there is no gray area about it- that's God's definition. I get these gay/lez couples want to join themselves more than just having a relationship, like in marriage. So okay, I'm fine with that.. but don't call it marriage. Make up a new name for it and have it performed by the state/province, or something. Yes, I might be old-fashioned, but that's just how I was brought up and feel.

at Mac anyway, same sex relationships aren't a big deal at all. being openly gay is really common. I've met more than a handful of gay/lesbians this year. in rez, no-one gives you crap. the residence advisors/dons/community advisors are trained to handle situations where that could be an issue, but I've never had it happen to me or any gay people I know. in fact, a lot of the residence/dorm advisors ARE gay actually, so... everyone's tolerant here, I bring my boyfriend to parties, whatever. and generally, it's seen as really tacky when people are all sloppily over each other at parties/clubs, so we don't start making out eveywhere - as long as you respect others, they'll respect you =) I sure as heck don't like it when straight people start making out in clubs - and it's not just me either
it's not just BHSc...
it's BHSexyyy!!!

Isn't it ironic how we were just talking about this topic in my psychology class and how it affects anybody by being prejudice based on steretypes or facts ?? As long as one person is happy the whole world suffers from new bacteria's that our systems are not use to. but then scientifically speaking we have one life to live so why not live it how you choose because you will not know what comes after you die. I think human kind has totally no disreagrd for any rules , statutes or anything that will stop them now it is all about the money. When somebody is grow a certain way based on enviroment, family and self a person is built and again bringing children into the world is a major job not downing anyones parents but the child themsleves chooses likes and dislikes. trying not to say anything in a contradiction to what i've said already. We all die so whatever.

Not once did I ever hear about Adam and Eve being married. Marriage was created by people and has now been turned in to some big extravagant thing, like everytother thing in the world. Also you stated how people used t o sacrifice animals ( now don’t get me wrong my familys catholic and I still believe in god ) and then jesus took our sins for us because times had changed well Jesus did that 2008 years ago so therefore times have changed. You cannot judge on someone doing something wrong and then state you are a sinner yourself. That’s right you are but I garuntee you no one goes oh looked Kjoy08 he is so wrong in what he is doing. So don’t be so quick to judge Quote:stringer
Indoctrination at its finest That is totally right Love Is Love God never layed out love laws for us

Would you rather me claim to be perfect? lol. And I didnt have any intentions of "Judging" I'm Just stating what I believe. I'll let God be the Judge. Like I said, I have nothing against Gay people. I just don't agree with their lifestyle. Fair enough?

(Gen. 2:18, 21-24) Man and Wife being united and becoming one so to speak. Oh yah. Indoctrination eh? That's alright, at least I Know what I believe.
