Is it really that taboo?

what about "yes, and I am"? that sould be an option. (even though I'm not)

Whether it is taboo greatly varies from area to area. It's not "taboo" here, but people view homosexuals as ridiculous people (at least men), and use "gay" as an insult, et cetera.

I don't get why, er, "naturality" matters. The whole "unnatural" thing is just another way of saying "ew!", because there are a lot of unnatural things that people approve of, and a lot of natural things that people don't approve of.

is it? yes...very

should it be? no...there is nothing wrong with it

It's taboo in many places, but not so much in Florida anymore. Even though we're the southernmost state of the United States, we're not considered southerners, because Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, etc. have very different views from what we do. From my understanding, those states aren't big fans of it. Here, it's not really taboo, especially if the person is female (due to perverts).

Saying homosexuals should not love each other because they cannot reproduce is saying infertile couples should not love each other because they cannot reproduce. That reason is not justified, and no, the Bible cannot back it up, because not everyone believes in the Bible, and it is completely subjective.

Let people do what they want behind closed doors if it's mutual. Honestly, why do people care so much? It's like forcing people to become part of your religion if you oppose homosexuality for religious reasons. What's the point? To "save" others, when not everyone believes the same things you do? Wouldn't God, or any main figure(s) in a religion, want a true believer, instead of someone forced into pretending they believe something just to be socially accepted?

Homosexuality is shown is nature, so I don't understand the "unnatural" argument. The only other argument, which is simply ignorant, is "ew."

I know you children love homosexuality and embrace your pederastic relationships. But consider: taboo basically means "socially unaccepted." Now, I know that in a perfect world, everyone agrees with you, but this is Real Life, and a preteen's opinion on an Internet Forum doesn't always speak for that of six billion. Homosexuality is taboo, and one doesn't have to hate gays to be able to see that(but it helps).

Homosexuality is morally wrong. Why? Because (I am so going to get hated on for this one) God forbids it. End of story. Case closed. Too bad. God doesn't like it, and so He forbids it, and since right and wrong depends on God's nature: It is wrong. I used to think differently. Think thoughts like: "They were born that way, right? So how can we blame them?" or "who does it harm? No one. It isn't wrong". This is what mostly everyone in North America thinks, and they're wrong. How can I say this? How can I know? Because my eyes are opened.

Not answering my question

Stupid: a generic insult
Retarded: more extreme form of stupid
Whack: not right
Gay: referring to homosexuality is used as an insult to question one's masculinity.
Homo: see gay

Gay is used as an insult in reference to homosexuality due to the fact that it is a minority that the majority does not accept. Somewhat like racial slurs.

Not accepted=taboo

Meh, I thought you were talking about the other use of "gay like, "This gamecube is gay!".

However, you logic is very faulty. If being called a fag is a reason that homosexuality is a social taboo, then being called a coon, nigger, or kike means that they are minorites and should be hated as they are taboo! Congrats, you are now a racist.

I don't think it's morally wrong at all. I'm not a lesbian, but I have plenty of friends who are lesbians, and one girl who is bisexual. Sure, I don't like them hitting on me or trying to touch up to me, but they're way happier then pretending to be heterosexual because "God thinks homosexuality is wrong". Not getting into religion that much because I might get jumped on, but isn't 'God' supposed to be a kind being? I honestly don't think that homosexuality or being Bisexual can be as bad as to go to 'hell'. That's like saying homosexuality is as bad as rape and murder.

I'm not going into the 'DNA or choice' thing about homosexuals because if it makes a guy or girl happy, they should do that.

Humans usually are afraid of what's different, so I'll still accept the opinions of those who listen to the bible or just think of it as morally wrong. Homosexuallity will eventually work it's way out of taboo in the future anyway.

In order to say that, you first have to prove two things:

1) That God even exists. Please use an approach other than the argument from design, as this has been debunked repeatedly.
2) That out of the thousands of religions followed by humanity, your particular interpretation of the divine is the correct one.

I shall await such proof.

I don't think he really needs such proof to go out and state his own opinion, actually. He shouldn't have to prove rather or not the god he chooses to believe in is real, they're his own beliefs.

That, and that discussion has been had already. >>

Yes, I am racist, but only because minority races give me reason to be racist. They act like the stereotype they get treated like it. But that is beside the point.

Being black was looked down upon by society in America (we are a very racist society). It was made into an insult. Insults are born from traits that people consider bad. If being gay was acceptable, calling a person gay wouldn't be an insult. Do you follow my logic?

Still, your logic is very faulty. Just because there are insults against certain groups of people doesn't mean that it is taboo to society, only to those who oppose it (which isn't the majority, surprise!). Also, insults were born from how you say words. I mean, saying the F word is one thing but when telling somebody, "**** you" that would be an insult.

Being homosexual can impossibly be wrong, because according to your belief, God created all men and therefore he created people to be homosexual. If being homosexual is wrong, that means God made a mistake in making something forbidden by his own rules. And last time I checked, you do not believe God can fault.

Embracing homosexuality may be forbidden, yeah I can see that happening, but being homosexual shouldn't even be considered more wrong than someone being male of female, black or white.

Hm. If he supposedly chooses to believe in a God, he also chooses what the God considers wrong.

I could say, "eating carrots is wrong since God dislikes it", but it would be more possible that I simply used that as a cover because I simply had a dislike for carrots.

Though, I don't really think you choose what to believe in. But then, I dislike morals based on religion, and vice versa (i e, someone thinking something is wrong and then deciding that their God thinks so, too).

Being a homosexual is just like being a sinner. You're born with it, and you're not justified of it, and for it, you deserve to die.

You speak as if you had some right to decide what's right or wrong.
