Detesting and casting away homosexuals is the opposite of what Jesus would do, besides. His own group of Twelve included a terrorist, a national traitor, a sometimes uncouth sailor, and someone who doubted him ten ways from Sunday. The importance of homosexuality in the Bible is almost nothing - but it is blown up by American churches and used as a tool. Ironic - Jesus was the most scathing against the religious elites, those adding on more "thou shalts" and "thou shalt nots" than the original ten commandments.
Jesus himself never touched the subject, and what the Bible does mention about it was a few short passages addressed to the Jews. -------------------- |

No matter your sexual orientation, you can't wake up one day and say "I'm going to be straight today, asexual tomorrow, gay the next day". There's no conscious choice involved. You can choose to ACT or not on feelings/impulses/whatever, but you can't control those feelings cause of brain chemistry. You can't control who your brain deems attractive.

i think this is a very tricky issue that people love to stick into a box. are you born gay or is it a choice? the answer is both yes and no to both, imo. |

I believe you are turned towards a certain sexuality based on the variables of life (surroundings, people, environments, television, etc.) and these evidently aid the choices you make and create whom you are as a person - as well as change your reaction to certain things, just like all other things in life. Say for example with food, if you get swayed into loving bitter food but dislike sweet foods, the same could be same with being either homosexual or heterosexual - from seeing two men share a passionate romance on television could give you ideas on what life is meant to be like for you, especially if you see it at such a young age. I would also like to comment on what you said before about homosexuals being "put down", ALL forms of sexuality get insulted in one way or another, please do not think you are any worse of a human because you chose something different from others. I actually disagree with this, because until I was about 11, I had never been introduced to anything close to LGBT+. Once I started watching more shows like anime, I started to ship gay ships, but there were no actual LGBT+ characters or relationships. Everything was cishet or unconfirmed. However, I am genderfluid and hetero/homoflexible. And about what you said at the end- They were simply stating that homophobia is a much bigger issue than cisphobia/heterophobia. If they had said anything about cis/hetero/transphobia, it would not have fit into the topic at hand. That deserves a different thread. |
