I am also not gullible and believe in the things I see or experienced myself in which I am very opened minded person so either is something is mentioned in the bible or not doesn't mean the bible is right but yet I still hold it close to me. There are a lot of sins written into the bible that are optional and unfortunately homosexuality is not one of them. I felt like I wasn't normal and no matter how hard I tried these type of feelings would never develop for the opposite sex. I did a lot of research and participated in quite a few events to try and convert myself to become heterosexual but none of them ever worked. I am a family man type of guy and always wanted a life to share with someone and have children. I love reading opinions but when you say homosexuality is wrong you are making it sound like it is a choice I have to be heterosexual or homosexual but as gay man I know you are in fact incorrect. Trust me it took me 25 years of my life to realize I cannot change that part of me either if I was to become hetero or bisexual just as long as the attraction was there towards women and now that I am 45 and halfway through my lifetime or maybe more as I could die sooner but so much has changed since I came out at 41 and now I am much healthier than I ever was physically and mentally. And on another note I don't understand why people are bothered by it as it doesn't affect them in anyway as lovemaking between 2 people are to be kept private, if it was publicly displayed then this is why there are laws against it but its not just towards homosexual couples its any type of nudity. The dark part of this world you speak of is not because of marriage equality it is because of all the hate/negativity. Even some of the biggest things that are positive go on in the world today barely get noticed but when something negative happens it attracts 10 times more attention than anything positive, its a shame really. It's not that people are not intelligent its that people are so gullible these days they believe anything they read or hear even without any proof. Love is part of being human and again homosexuality is not a choice so in saying this you can see why I am concerned. So if you were homosexual then you know and understand what it feels like to be part of you. I can't speak for all homosexuals but from the support groups I have attended all we want is for a chance to feel normal. I think it is important to be open minded especially when you know nothing of a particular topic like being homosexual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
