I thought you would have said something about God meant for parents to be a man and a woman or something.

*sigh* What happened Bird? You used to be so supportive. Now I read your comments and I think you’re Attorneymom. Anyway, God intended man and woman to be fruitful and multiply. Marriage is man’s invention. Only humans go against nature by expecting a man to sleep with one woman his entire life.
*************************************
Shockingly, I agree with Sandra regarding marriage.

Censorship does not = hate

That’s true. But censorship does = intolerance and prejudice.

Still have to agree with Sandra here…

A lot of the time, Sandra speaks some real sh!t…

If people are born gay, and “God” doesn’t make mistakes, why wouldn’t a same sex couple raising a healthy and loved child be apart of “His” divine plan?

I guess I just don’t get it. What is so inappropriate about this cover? It’s just there, it’s not being shoved down anyone’s throats.

If you’re gagging on the idea of two men being together that’s your problem, not theirs.

@Mamacita

What I was saying was if one believes it’s “God’s Plan” for children to be raised by a man and a woman, would it also be his plan to allow the children that cannot be raised that way to suffer?

And I will not be teaching any children in my home that being what you were born to be is wrong or unnatural. Period.

How does a lesbian believe that being gay isn’t natural?

@ELove

Next to Kermit, Ernie was always my favorite.

He might be gay, but at least he ain’t a damn fiend. I swear if Cookie Monster had a nose, he’d have been crushing up and snorting Chips Ahoy on the daily.

@Phro

I know it’s late and chit but…

(Snuffy was a total pothead too)

(wonders what the hell a gay baby is supposed to look like)

ELove says:

…JUST LIKE DL Dudes who KNOW THEIR GAY that CHOOSES to have sex with A FEMALE for Social Acceptance because of their OVERT SHAME of being who they really are…
*****************************************
If being gay is who they really are, where does the choice come in? To me this implies that they would have been homosexual no matter what did or didn’t happen to them.

If one is hetero, how can they choose to be otherwise? If I asked if you (not you specifically) could be coerced or simply forced to be gay, what would you say?

And if one does decide that they are going to “cross over” I doubt that those feelings just come out of nowhere. They probably always had those thoughts/tendencies and just never acted on them for whatever reason. I guess you could say they “chose” to be hetero but that wouldn’t be too hard to attempt since that is what society expects us to be anyway.

ELove says:
NOTHING was forced upon me to be THIS WAY and I didn’t feel any kind of CONFLICT Mentally (BEING THIS WAY…) I JUST happen to really LIKE FEMALES from a very early AGE
************************************
I’m not questioning you personally in that regard…

I’m questioning why it can’t be the same way for homosexuals? Why does it have to be something that is forced upon them? Why can’t a little boy know from an early age that he just happens to really like males?

Does it make it easier to accept homosexuality to believe that little Timmy was forced to be the way he is? Cause heavens forbid it was somehow his parents fault that their child didn’t come out “normal”.

As a parent, I would rather believe that my gay child is who he is because he can’t be anything else than believe that he had to be forced to be something that he never really wanted to be.

Now I really am done til the morning.

OK THIS TOPIC IS HOT AND I DON’T WANT TO OFFEND NOBODY OR GET IN TO AN E-ARGUMENT BUT I AGREEE 100% WITH SANDRA ON THIS ***MAKES DR.APPOINTMENT** YES ITS NOT NATURAL FOR TWO MEN AND TWO WOMAN TO BE TOGETHER BUT IT IS THAT PERSONS CHOICE NOT NOBODY ELSES BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE HAVE TO EMBRACE IT OR LOVE IT AT ALL SO COVERING THE MAG IS RESPECT FOR ALL OTHER THAT DON’T AGREE OR SUPPORT THE GAY LIFESTYLE…NOW WITH THAT SAID MY AUNT IS A LESB AND FROM KNOWING HER MY WHOLE DANG LIFE SHE DID GET MOLESTED BY MY UNCLE **SAME PIECE OF SHAT THAT MOLESTED ME** AND THAT PLAYD A ROLE IN HER DECISION **but sh!t i aint gay*** BUT THE BOTTOMLINE WAS SHE WAS NOT ATTRACTED TO MEN AT ALL SHE ALWAYS LOVED THE WOMANS BODY BUT SHE DID NOT COME TO THIS CONCLUSION UNTIL SHE WAS IN HER TEENS WICH MEANS WHEN SHE WAS SMALLER SHE LIKED TO PLAY HOUSE WITH BOYS NOT GIRLS SO TO ME ITS A CHOICE THAT WE AS SOCIATY ARE NOT READY TO FULLY EMBRACE BUT IT’S OK BECAUSE GOD MADE NO MISTAKE AND WE ARE WHO WE ARE!!!

@sandra omg auntie my whole fukn family used to tell my aunt “UR A TOMBOY Y U LIKE DRESSING SO BAGGIE” it came to the point that the fam was saying she was gay **but did no accept it** once they knew she was gay most of the older generation wanted to act all surprise and sh!t like fo real u talk sh!t about her looking acting like a boy since she was 10 and now that she grown u surprise she cat??? i think the environment and the people that influence u in your younger years may have a roll on ur adult decisions and our fam used to talk sh!t about her and now can’t accept her for who she found out she is!!

@THE CHIT

Yes, I can have my serious moments when I need too.

Regarding this issue, this mornings comments have made the reason for some people’s positions much clearer.

I still don’t agree with them but I understand them a bit better and I guess I will just agree to disagree so we can keep it moving, at least for today.

But I do believe the more things like this are discussed in an open forum with respect and understanding, the better off we will become as a society. :hugs:

@yso i love that serious side of u all smart and sh!t
@cfree good mornting and steve harvey i want to read aboout

@AL

@SANDRA AND THATS WHAT UPSETS ME HOW CAN U TAUNT HER SO MUCH SINCE AGE 10 AND THEN WHEN UR ACCUSATIONS OR SUSPISION COME TRUE UR IN SHOCK OR EMBARASED BY HER??? BUT THATS FAMILY FOR YA AZZ

@CFREE

There is a up but it’s about Fiddy and Chelsea Handler.

@ALBoy

I wouldn’t say that it is more accepted, at least when a child is that young. I think when a boy is in puberty, yes, they are expected to like it and want more of it.

I was personally sickened by all the stories a few years back of teachers sleeping with and having babies by 12-13 year-olds. I don’t care how mature they seem or how developed they are, they are still children, period.

I think when it comes to younger children/babies, no one wants to believe a woman is capable of something so vile. We’re seen as the nurturers and protectors of our young. Therefore, we can’t be the predators.
