I'm not hetrosexual but i'm not attracted to the same gender either.I'm not attracted to either gender.So I don't think "gay" really means non-hetro but I agree that gay people deserve respect just as hetros do.

Nice. VVV

Comment genocide

Honestly, I am respecting everyone else's religion. I'm just stating what only the human mind can understand.

Heh, thank you, Gleeok. Years of it help.

Ironically, said comment is gone, eh?

Yeah didn't you guys hear? Love is like, super evil right now.

I am laughing with Ram's counter-arguments.

You guys should think better before writing senseless stuff, or Ram will get 'ya.

@Brownie

Evil? why exactly it is evil ? i didn't know homosexuals/bisexuals were an image of the demon or anything....wait, i am a demon?

chimpanzees beat each other to death with sticks XD just learned something!
and, Brownieboy, shouldn't
o=female and -=male?
Wait, ignore that. You where talking about magnets.

why make such a big deal over something so small?

@Pokemaster even though your an atheist, at least raspect other people's religion

Humanity's Doom? Reproduction? Son, you must be stupid. The Earth is OVER-POPULATED. In a few years we'll be fighting wars over control of fresh water, because there isn't enough to go around. I'm hoping for more gays. More water for me.

dude i cant believe people on dsi paint any more......i thought this was a a good website but half the people are gay or somthing esle0-0

With 7billion people the last thing we need is reproduction. Think of it as a sort of natural population control.

POSESSED - It happened to me...it was involuntary, i didn't choose to like other guys, but it was happening and then...i couldn't ignore this anymore, i felt more than a friend-ship want with some guys i knew >-> it was a very disturbing experience for me, i was confused ...but in the end i concluded i liked both genders, and now i am living happy and good, accpeting the fact that guys attract me as much as girls.

Now...What kind of attraction is something very personal, all i can say is i won't marry or officially date another guy o.e, Nothing against who do.

I actual knew I was bisexual about when I larned what it meant. I had always been somewhat attracted to guys and girls alike.

I understand that in older ages, people probably had to have homosexual sex. As HB said, if people did this on a regular basis back then then the genes for homosexuality could be passed down. So if people are just born with it or choose it, I don't know. If anyone who is homosexual, gay, bisexual, or lesbian is reading this, please tell me if you chose it or you were born with it. I'm sincerely curious.

Got to add, @Waffle, I agree entirely, there are far too many cliche'd blogs out here. People should write something that everybody hasn't already heard hundreds of times. I agree n particular with the holocaust example

@GleeoK, thanks for learing up the double posts, I'll try to avoid them in the future

@Tiarocks, I didn't even realise that a Christian could be "Psychic." Aren't they kind of... conflicting?

Anywho, that's not what I want to say. There's actually an awful lot of evidence to suggest that homosexuality is not a choice, but is in fact genetic. As well as this, I find it dificult to believe it could be a choice.
A straight person will have feelings about a girl/boy, that are beyond their control. Their body is born meant to like that gender, and they will always have more feelings for them than the same sex. Homosexuals feel the opposite way. As I have said previously, it is as automatic for them as for heterosexuals.

I see some interesting debating on the topic, so I thought I would interject some of what I have learn or witnessed over the years:

First, from a religious perspective: All major religions see homosexuality as something vile. Most people stop their reading there. Let me give the broader picture. Since I am a Christian, I will use the Holy Bible as reference. Many people cite Leviticus in their condemnation of homosexuality. If you read all of that book, you will see that it was a set of laws set up for the Israelites. A large section of that relates to health and safety. It speaks of how to quarantine in the event of an outbreak, what to do if someone bleeds, which sexual activities are unhealthy, etc. Homosexual sex (sodomy) is listed amongst those unhealthy activities - not homosexual thoughts. Now fast-forward to the New Testament. Many places in it speak against homosexual sex and against fornication. All forms of sexual activity outside of marriage are considered wrong, whether straight or gay. Also, all forms of lust toward someone not a spouse are considered wrong. So, in conclusion, from both a Christian and Jewish perspective extra-marital sexual activities are the wrongs, not just the singled-out homosexuality.

Second, let's look at homosexuality from a nature vs. nurture perspective: Are people born gay, or do they choose it? Depending on where you look for facts on this, they are all over the place. A few years ago, biologists discovered a "flawed" gene that makes people more prone to homosexuality, but that means little more than someone with a gene for greater risk of heart attack or greater risk of stroke. Samantha and I knew identical twins in Florida with one straight and one gay. They have identical genes, but maybe this one gene had some play. In many cases, people don't become homosexuals until they experiment and get a "taste" of it. Yet, this is not always the case. Can someone who is gay turn straight? Sometimes they can, but not always. A few proponents bring up the argument that there are animals who are gay and try to justify it with humans. Please don't use this flawed argument, because someone may retort and say that Chimpanzees beat each other to death with sticks to get others to laugh. It will just make you look like a fool in the end because this reversal will imply that you support murder. From a scientific perspective, I think it's safe to say that no one knows all the facts on the matter.

I have my opinions on the matter, but I will keep them to my self. Hopefully these facts will help some to see the bigger picture on either side of the debate.

True, but at least only 1 or 2 get featured in a day or so...

I don't think people even write blogs for the point of writing anymore. Whenever I'm on there's another cookie-cutter cliché anti-homophobe or emo sob-story. People write what people read. If it sells, they'll sell it. It especially disgusts me when people continually write about the Holocaust.

Hmm... Can we avoid the emo-related blogs, then? I respect them and all, but it'd only be fair...

Okay. There are wayyy too many of these Blogs popping up everywhere. I won`t express my beliefs here, because I may start a riot. BUT. I say we drop this subject entirely. If you wanna talk about it, talk in mail. Let`s try to focus a bit more on what DsiPaint was made for, and not on other peoples sexual feelings, etc. Hm?

@Waffle: Wow, you've made my day... That's absolutely correct...

I am, myself, bisexual. All you people who say it's wrong, go jump off a cliff & worry 'bout your own self (:

This noticeably incendiary topic of discussion is getting a bit out of hand..

I myself am Christan, BUT I'm not against it at all o.o Heck I have an Ex thats bi! So, I have NO PROBLEM w/ any of this. We are, who we are. Deal w/ it o.o

Neongirl is right. If you're straight, what the bloody hell do you care if someone is gay? It won't harm you in any way. You just pick on them because you're insecure with your own sexuality. Most homophobes are men. Because they need to be MANLY. Nothing more MANLY like beating up a poor gay kid, hmm? They feel the need to prove that they're men. Such shallow, stupid motives. Just another reason I hate the human race.

If I may quote an Invader Zim Episode-

"The human race is just ASKING to be destroyed!"

Ricky-And whoever said I was 11?

As a lesbian myself, I really appreciate this blog. Thank you for writing this.

Actually, I think Neongirlx is right.

Actually, Homosexuality in the dictionary means, "One likes selfs gender." Gay and Lesbian are derrogatory terms, in my eyes.

I'm Bisexual as well. Woot!

@Gamer: It's possible... Well, he's Bi, at least.

'Course, I believe in Evolution, not two people & a snake.

PokeMaster, got is not homosexual

True, well worded Gleeok.

Christians are technically against homosexuality or any form of it. The dusty old book of the Bible is basically saying this:

“If you're gay, stay out of our way.”

Concidering that most Christians aren't against homosexuality, the Bible lies. Even the so called “God” could be homosexual. “God” could even be a women, if there was proof he/she existed. Also, making man in his own image, saying he could also be homosexual.

Moral of the story: accept who other people are, no matter what.

It's funny because most people who are strongly against gays are repressing gay feelings themselves.

Uhm, I know the Christianism is againts Homosexuality, but theres a lot of Christians who aren't.

I guess i can say i pretty much try to respect all the religions, beliefs...etc..

You guys shouldn't blame the bible for saying Homosexuals are evil and all, it is a Book, it is an important book because we made it important, and the content inside it is important because we think it is, you read, you decide what you think you should consider.

Some people still believe God, Jesus, and go to the church, but they accept Homosexuals as well.

Some don't.

I am Christian, and i am bisexual , which means i am technically and partiatially homosexual.

Never, not even before i found i was a Bisexual myself, i never tought being Homosexual/Bisexual was a bad thing, when i was a kid, unlike most of my friends at the same age if i saw a guy with another guy or a girl with another girl i never tough it was gross or anything, i mean, for me it was like... as natural as a boy with girl o.e


Of course, if an Homosexual bring a relationship to a serious level, they can't have kids, but that doesn't stop them from staying with each other at all....


I may like guys, but its a choice, that i will never marry or possibly live with a guy...Its just a personal choice.


It depends, depends a lot of the person itself...

---

I don't consider those who treat Homo/Lesbians/Bis with difference, it doesn't matter how kind this person is, once i figure out he/she is really against other people's personal choices, then it won't be my friend.

@Quinn: Well, that sums it up.

i cleaned up all these double posts and comments subjected to double posts, EpicArtifex, try to don't refresh after a comment >->

@livins-Actually they are. Presuming that you are heterosexual, at least for the sake of this post, consider this. You naturally like the opposite gender. Think how they make you feel. It's not voluntary, it's not because you're thinking "I really want to like this gender," it's because your brain is just programmed that way. it's the same with bi's/homo's, except the other way 'round.

@tiarocks- what makes you so confident there even is a God? And as people are born gay or straight, outside of their control, how can God blame them for accepting who they are?

Well, I'm not sure, I have forgotten completely, but isn't homosexuality genetic?

I have nothing against gays/lesbians. It just angers me when they say they "born tthat way", nobodyy is born with sexual preferences.

I honestly think you guys shouldn't use religion when it comes to how two different people feel about each other. Let sleeping dogs lie. A.K.A, let lesbians/homos/bisexuals like who they want. We can't stop them, nor can any religion.

Got too feel sorry
@General-anti-homosexuality-people-using-the-bible-as-their-defence's. What about this? If you're sure God exists, and that humans were made in his image, that includes all humans, including bi's, homo's, etc. So does this mean that God himself is conflicted about his sexuality. That is what looking at humans would suggest. Therefore he is saying that it is unacceptable to do what he is doing, and so he is a great big hypocrite.

No worries... On my end, poor PN's alerts are spammed, though. xp

Sorry about all those repeated comments D:
It seems to be in a "spontaneously repost my comments" mood

@Artifex: That's wh PN is saying, somewhat.

But how do we know the bible is true?

Yes, but “God” appearently put both boys and girls on Earth, so, this was inevatable, since “God” knows all, to Christians, he appearently knew homosexuality would happen.

But how do we know the bible is true?

Another blog... As said before, the bible states homosexualtity is wrong. Guys are suppose to go with girls and girls are supposed to go with guys.

As hearing from my Christian friends, “God” is supposed to love everyone, no matter what they do or why they do it. Appearently, “God” forgives everyone. So, as read in the Bible, “God” does not like homosexuality, so “God”'s a bit of a predjituce as well.

@The Ram

Interesting blog. A couple of things that occurred to me, some of which have conflicting sides of the argument-
-Homosexuals like who they like as instinctively as a heterosexual, it's not a choice, it's just how they work and not actually their fault.
-Humans are instinctively wary of things that are different to the norm, racism, for example, the same species, but not quite "right." It is also, therefore, natural for somebody who is heterosexual to dislike or feel uncomfortable around expressions of gay affection. Whilst this is not an excuse to practise prejudice against gays, it is just a reminder, that it is also normal to feel uncomfortable seeing homosexuality being practised, even if, consciously, you are totally fine with it.
-Many people who are gay don't seem like it, and have exactly the same emotions as everyone else, even if some of those are geared towards the opposite gender. Therefore, to a homosexual, ridiculing them for their sexual preferences, which come as naturally to them as they do to heterosexuals, is just as unacceptable as racism, and discrimination against people with features beyond their control, even if you yourself don't believe it's right.
-Even straight people naturally experiment with their feelings throughout puberty and sometimes before. It isn't uncommon for a heterosexual to feel certain amounts of attraction towards people of the same gender whilst growing, be it temporarily or long lasting, and it does not necessarily show anything about your sexuality.

This has become quite a post, so I'll shut up now.

@Carson:

I'm not religious, more of an Atheist, but, IF I remember from 10 years ago, isn't [y]our "God" an understanding God, who accepts all people? Since, of course, they're made in "His" image?

Answer me that, please.

Sorry if it came off as Flaming, just trying to prove a point.

All I'll say is that it's a little sad how the definition of the word "gay" has changed over time. It no longer denotes happiness.

I see your point, Carson, but the term, “pedophile” is more of a key word in wanting kids. If you meant that. Otherwise, since I'm Athiest, the Bible is just a book some guy wrote as a fairy tale. That's from my point of view. I don't get exactly why the Bible states it's wrong, but I don't see what's so wrong about it.

The Bible clearly states that homosexuality is wrong. Who invented that? I'd like to see two homosexuals wanting kids. It just my matter of opinion.

Very well written, a strong point, which I agree w/ entirely. A few grammar-issues, but that's all... Good job.
