Homosexuality

Well I believe that it simply isn't natural to be gay. It's okay to be attracted to people of the same sex per se, but I just think homosexuals misinterpret that kinship as being one of love interest which is incorrect. All animal species were designed to reproduce. Reproduction is the sole purpose of life for all organisms. If one does not contribute to propagating then they are going against the laws of nature.

Personally I am homophobic. I don't mean to insult anyone or their choice/belief but these are my views and they aren't ill intended. Being raised as a Catholic has greatly effected my views and it has altered the way I see the world to some extent.

Uh, yet there's plenty of evidence of sexually reproducing animals having intercourse with members of their own sex. If sex for nonreproductive purposes is wrong, then straight sex for pleasure is just as wrong as gay sex. But this view is incorrect, too, because sex isn't just for making babies. It's an important and healthy social activity.

I don't really expect the bigotry and hate that exists in our society today to go away in our lifetimes. It's good that you understand the influence of the way you were raised on your views and are tolerant enough to live and let live at least. I just hope that in the future more people will realize that homophobia is illogical and accept that gays exist and not feel so disgusted and offended when they think about it. I swear some people on this forum sound like they've never been in a locker room or something.
