Wow, I never knew how divided and literally ignorant Americans was until I started blogging. I mean I live a typical secluded lifestyle I really dont interact much with too many people so when I posted the blog about my the gay lifestyle and the American vote I didnt expect to be bombarded with opinions of people judging whether it is a choce or not. I mean do you know how many teens and adults commit suicide or live a depressed life because of the harshness of society and the pressure to live a so called normal life? I was like that once. A young 9 year old strangely attracted to other girls and I wanted to die because my mom told me I was going to hell. Well you know what I am 23 now and I am starting to embrace who I am. I cant stress anymore because of what society has interpreted God of saying. Everyone who believes will read the bible and about 10 out of 10 people who do, will get a different meaning from it...

So you think you know how a gay person feels right? Wrong, you dont I will say once again Homosexuality is not a choice. You can not, and  I dont care how you try and interpret what the bible says because I can interpret it a whole different way and debate that is does not say that. I was raised in the church and I happen to know that the bible says a man sins with his heart not just his mind and body. So if I decided not to ever date a woman again. I would still be sinning because thats what I would ultimately lust after in my heart.

A message to the heterosexual readers. When you find yourself attracted to the opposite sex it comes naturally doesnt it? Yes, you dont think about it you dont question it, its just a way of life. Thats how its is when i look at a woman. I do not flaunt who I am or beg that you accept it. God knows my mind, and my heart I have begged and prayed to be delivered from this lifestyle that pushed a wedge between even me and my family who believe that I am choosing to be attracted to members of the same sex.

People go through life and every one sins. I do not appreciate being compared to a pediphile thats is not the same. A gay person is just the same as the next. We are human, we breathe the same air why do we get rediculed? I dont see why there is such a fuss about being gay. Its like being gay is breaking a law and we make laws to protect us? How does my choice to be in a relationship with another gay female hurt you? Ask yourself that. You, the people, do not choose what happens to me I answer to one God.

Then we focus on homosexuality and bring up the bible but what about you who have sex out of wedlock, who lie, steal, and cheat. Who lust, envy, and fight. And lets not forget who judge. Before you judge the speck in my eye, be sure you remove the log in yours. Remember that before you try and tell me how I feel and what God says is wrong. No one is perfect and being gay happens to be something I struggle with everyday. Is it right no its not, but as long as God still acknowledges me as his Child who the hell cares what the American people say.

Very well put. I myself am not gay, but I do have a 15 year old daughter who is. I am very open and understanding while her mother is not. My daughter lives with me because her mother told her she was an abomination and she was to belive as her mother did if she was to live in her home. THIS IS WRONG. My daughter loves her mother, but she will never live with her again. Again, I am not gay, but I feel your pain. I see what my daughter goes through and it kills me to see how cruel society can be.

people who choose to be intolerant will always use the (only six) traditional negative passages which have nothing to do with gay people who desire to live in loving relationships with the blessing of God. it is an innate mutual desire for intimacy which you would think everyone - gay or not - could relate to. these are some passages you will never hear them repeat:
Jesus affirmed a gay couple. Matthew 8:5-13
Ruth loved Naomi as Adam loved Eve. Genesis 2:24, Ruth 1:14
Jesus said some are born gay. Matthew 19:10-12
The early church welcomed a gay man. Acts 8:26-40
David loved Jonathan more than women. II Samuel 1:26

Hmmm...whereas I do understand your point of view, Cdemerson...I respectfully disagree with it.

I firmly believe that the homosexual lifestyle is one of choice. That is my belief...and I'm not speaking for anyone else.

Now...do I consider you an abomination? No. It is not my place to judge you or anyone else in regard to your decision. (I use the word decision because I view it as such). I know many people who have embraced that lifestyle and I hold no animosity toward them.

But I still believe that it is a choice.

Now, I will be honest with you...if one of my children were to approach me with this lifestyle as a choice they wished to make...would they have my blessing? I would be honest and say, "no". But would I disown them? Say they are going to hell? Treat them as, "second class citizens"? No. But I would let them know that they would have to deal with the consequences of their choices as they would with anything else they decided to do.

As for the Bible...it can be viewed from many different aspects. In college, rhetorical analysis (college english 2), teaches a person how to analyze a piece or writting in an attempt to figure out what the author of the work might have meant. Rarely does the entire class agree with one view point. So I am not surprised that you say that you can view the bible in a differnt light. But viewing it in a different light does not mean that you are correct in your view point. And in all fairness...it doesn't make me right either.

Lanny - To disagree with something is not the same as the bash or hate or to be intolerant. Simply to disagree.

Thank you all for your comments.. as for you foehammer.. you and others who are straight will continue to think that a person chooses to be gay.. Question do you choose to be straight or do you naturally feel that way?

You can never know the feeling of another until you have walked in their shoes. I tell my mom this everyday she is just disgusted by the thought of two women and two men. But I say I am disgusted bu the thought of a man touching me. Is this a choice. No it is a natural reaction to how my heart feels.

Cdemerson - You are right in the fact that I do not completely understand. And unless I walked in your shoes, I never would. That is why I say I would never judge you. Actually, I can say that I commend you for your convictions and your drive to follow your heart.

It just seems that we are simply in disagreement on some aspects of the subject.

As for your question...I can honestly say that it is a natural feeling that connects me to the opposite sex. And that fact is the basis of why I feel that it is a choice to do what does not come naturally. But...in thought...I guess that is why you feel it is not choice because you feel just the opposite naturally.

So again...nothing against you my friend...we simply disagree.

I will say this...I have used this blog site as a means of broadening my view on many topics. To get a true view of what people think that is not rehearsed or played out according to what others may think.

Perhaps we can continue this discussion.

You know I actually think that it could possibly be a hormone imbalance of some sort. I grew up with a guy from elementary school all they way through high school and he never admitted to being gay until high school, even though everyone knew that he was very feminine from the beginning. I also have an aunt that is a lesbian and I love her and all of her friends are some of the most down to earth people.
I honestly don't think Jehovah intented for there to be same sex relationships, nor did he intend for there to be murders, rapist, liars, etc... but it happens and it will continue.

I am a lover of the written word. I enjoy expressing myself with the beauty of imagination. I am a 23, african american female whose dream is to change our society. It is not racial discrimination that I intend to change.. but the prejudice that society has toward the generation X and the mistakes we make. We need change..
