Child Molestation is a Sin!what right does anybody have to call it a sinOf course not. For the most part I could care less what other people think about me. There in lies the problem. I don't go around to straight people and tell them what they are doing is wrong. [reference other post when one of your other Website members compared my life's choices to liking vegtables or not. I don't tell that person they are fundamentally wrong, they however are telling me such] Further, I don't try convert people to homosexuality. I'm not on an active crusade to expouse my beliefs and actively convert people. (and I'm not saying you necessarily are but many do, especially within the ranks of the New Born Christian Leadership) Personal Example: The other week I was on the train riding to get my car. I was standing there minding my own business when someone approached me about 'spreading the word of Jesus.' I quietly sat there until the man brought up the issue of how 'homosexuality is polluting our society.' I no longer could remain silent. I politely told the man that I was in fact gay and his words were offensive to me. His reply was predictable, "You're not a Fag are you? You need to be Saved by Jesus. Only through finding Jesus love will you be saved.' Since the enviornment wasn't appropriate for a legitimate debate on the topic I remained silent from that point forward and quietly said 'thank you very much. He handed me his phamplet, "Watch Tower Ministry" or something and thankfully I left the train w/o incident. The point of this example is, that many Christians make an active effort to 'reform' gay people where as Gay people's activism is related to only the attainment of equal rights. I see a fundamental difference. 99.99999% of Gay people do not try to convert straight people to homosexuality. (and please do not provide me with some obscure example like MAMBLA which is a fringe and evil organization in itself any more than I'd compare a mainstream Christain to the KKK) This is a long winded answer to yes. I don't need other's approval however we do need their acceptance because it affects: employment, housing, legal rights etc.. The lionshare of Gay people who I've known and interacted with have had similar experiences such as I. When in fact they felt comfortable being who they in fact are without deception is dependent on their life experiences. I have NEVER however met a Gay man who all of a sudden at age 25 woke up one day and decided, hey.....I'd like to try sexual relations with a man. That's absurd. BTW since you said you'd support me, I assume you'll support my right to have every legal right that married people do as well? And I absolutely support your 1st Amendment Rights as with everyone elses. |
