The problem with the homosexual community, particularly the fringe group, is that it sugarcoats the gay lifestyle. They would have you believe that being gay is "totally safe, a perfect alternative lifestyle for those who do not get along with the opposite sex." This is not true at all. Which is one reason I am against the teaching of homosexuality to children in public schools. Kids don't need it.
It is the "fringe groups" that practice this just as it is the fringe group of heterosexuals who practice these perversions. To paint all gay men with the broad brush of S&M, water sports, or golden showers, etc. is prejudicial and false. Teaching homosexual sexual practices in school is wrong, but then so would be teaching free sex to heterosexual kids.
I don't get HBO so I cannot comment on the "Real Sex" show, sorry.
For the record however, not all heterosexuals engage in those sins of sex.
Ah, so if some do and not all do you make a point of saying so, but when it comes to homosexuals you "assume" that if some do all do? At one time being "western" was the in thing with gay men, then "leather" (at one time leather was synonymous with S&M, bondage, etc.) became in and western was out. If you are judging gay men based on fashions your are looking at the externals. BTW, I did subscribe to HBO and then cancelled my subscription because of Real Sex, Sex in the City, and 6 ft. Under.
I still have one thing which I suspect many others on this board do not have. Married or non married. Yes, you guessed it -- the big V.
I will keep you in my prayers, Aineo, and Morgan, all homosexuals, as well as everyone else I know.
God Bless you.
Hmm, although I don't object being lumped with Morgan and all homosexuals in regards to prayer, are you assuming I am gay? Bad assumption, I am ex-gay. I just get ticked off when heterosexuals go after the gay community for doing the same things they do, maybe not as often or as publicly but they still do the same things. And then they justify them (like divorce and remarriage) because straights can't live without their sexual relationships (present company excepted).
After his teaching on the state of mankind in Romans 1:18-32, Paul says:
Rom 2:1-16
2:1 Therefore you are without excuse, every man of you who passes judgment, for in that you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2 And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things. 3 And do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment upon those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God. 12 For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law; and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; 13 for not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus. NAS
Heterosexuals who defend divorce and remarriage are just as guilty of God's righteous will as homosexuals. With approxiametly 25% of all marriages ending in divorce and remarriage the sexual sins of the majority are greater (at least in numbers) than the sins of the gay community since only about 3% of the adult population of this country is gay, lesbian, bi, or transgendered.
