Everytime you have sex with someone it’s a decision.

——————————————————————————

Oh, really lolb23? So being gay is just about having sex? What about gay marriage? That’s just about sex?

Hmmm, straight marriage – is that all about sex? HA – NO!

I’m attracted to women – that isn’t a decision, it’s just how it is. That’s no different than a man being attracted to another man – it’s just the way it is!

This isn’t like ordering off the McDonald’s dollar menu, it’s human nature.

We know from science that neither of these is a choice.

Yes, the Bible is anti-gay, but what else does the Bible say?

You can beat your slave with a stick as long as you don’t kill her (Exodus 21:20-22).

You can make money selling your daughter off as a permanent slave (Exodus 21:7–I wonder how she would feel about that?).

You’re not allowed to wear a shirt made from two different fabrics (Deuteronomy 22:11–Is your shirt 50% polyester? Sinner!!).

But you’re not allowed to eat bacon. NO BACON FOR YOU (Leviticus 11:7).

It’s funny how people who claim to believe the Bible and “hate the sin love the sinner” cling to the anti-gay verses to support their ignorance about the FACT that some people are gay and there’s nothing wrong with that.

But when it comes to supporting or practicing human slavery, eating bacon, or wearing a shirt made of two different fabrics, they’re perfectly okay ignoring or explaining away the “Word of God”.

Someday, and it may take a generation or more, the majority of people who truly claim to “believe the Bible” will look at anti-gay bigotry in the Bible the same way they look at slavery and dietary restrictions in the Bible. They’ll see it is outdated or no longer applicable. The rest of society will have moved on long before then.

All i can say is that in identical twin studies (kids same dna but split up at birth so they have same nature, different nurture if you will), when one one twin was gay in their adult life, the other twin was shown to be also gay about 50% of the time. So there is obviously a nature component, but there are some environmental factors at play as well.

Unfortunately fans would probably yell things at openly gay players, but can it get much worse than the current treatment like hand gestures and expletives that fly today at opposing players?

-Ringing endorsement from Eddie George. (The NFL has a long way to go)

So actively stating you’d be tolerant and disinterested isn’t enough? You actually have to ENDORSE what other people do? This is why there is resistance to change at all, because even if you are properly disinterested in a matter, that’s not enough. You have to show outward support, or you’re still a bigot.

I don’t care what other people do in the bedroom, as long as it’s consenting and the participants have a reasonable ability to judge what they are doing and the consequences (a mentally incompetent person may consent but not understand). Isn’t that enough? It’s like supporting individualism isn’t enough, to respect a person based on the content of their character, but I have to follow what Jesse Jackson says I have to do in proper “support” and endorsement ringing.

Eddie George still has a long way to go if he thinks being gay is a “decision.”

Which is a pointless piece of information to point out. Being gay is not the act, it is the preference. And contrary to what lostorosdchicago23 says, you don’t choose who you are attracted to.

Try a little experiment: If you’re hetero, make the decision that you’re going to prefer men. Go ahead, you can always make the decision to prefer women again, right?

Can’t do it? Well, don’t let that get in your way of saying that it *can* be done, even though you can’t do it.

You might be gay. I dont know a single straight man who CHOOSE to be with women over men. Men were never an option to me or any other straight man on the planet.

Last time I checked every state that legalized gay marriage has overturned it. Every. Single. One.

It’s a shame you’ve only met California and Maine.

Please allow me to introduce you to: Connecticut,, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, Maryland (pending) and Washington (pending). And also D.C. And as of last week, kinda sorta Rhode Island.

Well let’s first acknowledge that it’s not a “decision.”

@rickrock

“Please don’t assume everyone from the south and anyone that’s a republican hates gay people.
The only people who do are actually misguided religious people who use religion to justify prejudicial hatred.”

I really hope this is a stab at irony by using an obvious prejudicial statement to attack prejudice but sadly the irony probably went over your head.

religious zealots don’t preach hatred toward those who are different. They hate the act of sin, not the sinner. We love the person and only want what will bring the best things to them. Don’t blame the ones that are still living on principals that this Country was founded on. We are the ones trying to keep Gods Blessing with us. As we all know though there are many that have not given the message of love and that is sad. That does not change the fact that we have gone very far away from what we were called to be, and if you look around it has taken us a long way away from the goodness of Gods grace. It will get worse too, because the deception is so deep. It really is sad that the truth has been so misguided. Now what the Bible said would happen is happening now. Good will be called bad, and bad will be called good. If only people could see how true it really is.

It’s finally happening. The beginning of the end of the worst stereotype in this country is finally here. Not all of us gay men live the “flamboyant” life, and some of us even like to participate in professional sports. What a day it will be when a man has the courage to stand up and let it be known who he truly is. The acceptance is there; all that is needed now is the bravery. I cannot wait until that day comes. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter who they go home to. It matters how many receptions or sacks he’s recorded, or how many home runs he’s hit, or how well he shoots at the free throw line.

Oh and what have liberals done as far as gay marriage? Hmm… Let’s see Democrat controlled house, senate, and white house for 3 years yet nothing done. Until election season comes around and a half-assed response to the issue is made when you yourself know nothing will change.

Typical liberal holier-than-though attitudes. Talk like you are the accepting, more socially tolerant group but your entire political strategy uses false claims backed by hypocrisy.

This is all coming from a gay marriage supporting conservative.

By the way, not surprised that the gay dude was a charger.

So if a heterosexual couple is unable to conceive they should divorce and call it quits as they too have biologically failed?

I have gay friends that are far better spouses and far better parents than most straight couples.

You don’t have to like it, but they damn well deserve some respect.

However, I do hate rickrock6661982. He strikes me as profoundly stupid.
