Gays don't hold us back people like you who think its wrong and are against. why can't straights and gays co-exist, why can't society let them be themselves. What your doing is like saying to child, who was born blind, that they can't have a service dog to help them.
Holds who back, how? Do people with arachnophobia hold us back too? Why are you demonizing people with phobias? They can't help it. You sound awfully bigoted against victims of mental disorders, shame on you.
They can choose weather or not to be in a relationship, however they cannot choose to be gay. Whilst i agree that racism is worse, due to its greater social effects, i dispute your logic.
Being gay, they are going to be in a relationship with someone of the same sex at some point with as much likellyhood as you having a straight relationship.
Well, I am heterosexual and I don't see anything wrong with homosexual acts. As long as both parties are consenting, and old enough to understand the ramifications of sexual activities, then I don't see what the problem is. Only through arbitrary religious dogma are we taught that homosexuality is wrong. The same arbitrary religious Dogma that gives us guidelines on how to treat your slaves, or what foods we should or should not eat.

Sexuality matters not when it comes to morality.

Legally, there should be no problem at all.
If someone wants to spout racism, they shouldn't be prosecuted. That doesn't mean racism isn't immoral.

Last time I checked we aren't wandering through the desert with our home occupied. But then again, what do you call getting thieves and murderers to build roads for us?
or what foods we should or should not eat.
You mean the guidelines that prevented the Jewish tribes from eating diseased shellfish?
Respectfully, i think you are the exception to the rule there. I don't wish to question your reasoning, but i don't think there would be many people that could do that.
no one can help if they are gay, or straight. i bet if you were to ask a gay person if they choose to be gay they would tell you no. now to all those homophobes out there i say this to you "GET OVER IT!"
I DO support that homophobic people need to get over it, because it IS a choice, and a personal choice that anyone has a RIGHT to make without being criticized or bothered for it.
I don't believe we choose to be hated by everybody. If you were a homosexual or bisexual I think you might understand. It's what we like, not who we chose to be. If you like french fries and not curly fries, it's not like you CHOSE not to like them, right?
A lot of people hate smoking, and get mistaken for hating smokers.
If you were a homosexual or bisexual I think you might understand.
Precisely. I am gay, but I choose to remain celebate. If you were a homosexual or bisexual you would know that not everyone chooses to lie with someone of the same sex, even if they desire it.
How can you be opposed to the act of homosexuality if you are (indeed) gay?
Good question.
I feel it is immoral for someone of the same sex to lie with another. If I was to give in rather than resist, I would feel worse for making an immoral decision.
Most people seem to misinterpret this as hating homosexuals, and quite easily fall for it, but in that logic they would have to hate fat people, smokers, drug users, alcoholics and the likes.
To hate someone because of desiring to be with someone of the same sex (that being something they can't help) that's just as bad as being racist. If it were hating people who DID live the homosexual lifestyle then racism is worse, because you can change how you act, but not how you look.
You can change how you act but can you change how you feel? Isn't that hard? I'm sorry to be nosing around in your business I'm a curious person..............................................................
You can change how you act but can you change how you feel? Isn't that hard? I'm sorry to be nosing around in your business I'm a curious person..............................................................
Well, yes I suppose. I don't ever feel like murdering anyone of course because I'm a pacifist. I may talk big sometimes but I don't really like violence.
Well... I was always told to be who I was and be what I want so, I don't really understand about changing how I feel.
As a person who encounters racism more than problems with homophobia, I am inclined to say racism is worse, but I DO realize that both are horrible and atrocious.
I WILL say that, as a Christian, I AM in disagreement with homosexuality as a lifestyle. However there is a very STRONG line between disagreeing with something and actually causing harm to another person for having a difference in opinion.
I DO however believe that homosexuality can be a choice. I have good friends who are gay, and even they can admit that they made a choice at some point in their lives. I think that it will depend on the person. [I STILL don't think it's genetic though. I think it's more of a mindset that one builds over time.]
I also think racism MIGHT be worse due to how much more it effects the world we live in. Racism has caused so many problems to a WIDER population that homophobia, and it dictates so many things in our daily lives, like how we treat and see people before we get personal with them.
Racism is an INITIAL response, but homophobia seems to be(form what I've seen) a gradual response.
Either way, I DO believe that racism is worse than homophobia.
When you are racist, you are limiting yourself from a wider range of people than being homophobic. Yes, there are a lot of homosexuals but when you are homophobic to a homosexual black man, you are limiting yourself from him, and not a whole race. (And i am not saying black people are homosexuals). In other words, what would you rather choose: have lots of opportunities of benefits and friends, or have less opportunites and friends. Well that depends on you, but i will choose the first option.

If your phobic to something, it is fear. Not hatred. Racism on the other hand is stale and stupid. It's immoral. You don't need no more a reason to like it or dislike it.
I reckon racism is the worst thing than being homophobic. that's my opinion if u don't support it that's our problem.
I can respect gays but I don't really want to as in I'm forced to. in my religion as a Muslim gays don't exist or only there is males and females and that's what I go by. if u don't support my argument that's fine but I believe racism is more important than homophobia.
You are saying that racists tend to be gay? A ludicrous statement.
There is something wrong with being a homophobic, it is having a phobia towards a type of person. A person whom cannot help who they are, but are attacked both verbally and physically due to their orientation.
To the debate question at hand: both due nothing to help the human race, and are nothing but detrimental. I would say both are equally in a state of worthlessness.
Hating/Being scared of a person due to who they are as a person is not ok in any form, the one being persecuted cannot help who they are. If you were an African American and someone hated you because of that you think that both the persecutor and the one being persecuted are equally wrong?
Yes. Not gay as in i take 'it up the bum' gay but gay as in 'you're a fag', gay.
You didn't differentiate at all, and I feel that even if you had your statement would have been incoherent.
what the hell does having a fear of hights have to do with any thing. you bringing up acrophobia makes you stupid.
"I'm guessing people who suffer from acrophobia are also ignorant huh?"
key word is suffer. you ain't suffering from shit. and of course your responce would be "i am suffering. suffering from seeing those fags" or something like it. but really homophobia isn't a sickness it's stupidity.
what enjoyment do you get out of saying really stupid stuff? i bet you are a very smart person but you get picked on and so the only way you can air out all of the MANY problems you have is to critisize people that can't hurt you... well i have a soultion for you GET OVER YOUR FUCKING SELF OK! PART OF THE FUCKING REASON NO-ONE LIKES YOU IZ CUZ YOUR A FUCKING BITCH ALWAYZ BITCHING ABOUT HOW UNFAIR IT IS THAT EVEN PEOPLE THAT ARE GAY CAN GET ALITTLE SOMETHING THE ONLY SEX YOU WILL EVER HAVE IS EITHER WITH YOUR FUCKING HAND OR A DEAD BODY!
Are you coming onto me? I'm sorry to say but you're way too young. I'd go jail for that shit. I wouldn't even throw you a pity fuck. That's the nicest way I could turn you down.
what the FUCK!!!!!!!!!! did i ever say any fucking thing about me wanting you in any fucking way no i don't think i did. so i guess that makes you look like a petifile... yep it does and now i am kinda worried about the kids in your nighbor hood!
are you sierus or are you trying to diss me? if you are sirus than i will say that the proper way of spelling it is pedohile and really if you keep going with this you should know i am too but since i belive in differance of opion i am willing to call a truce. But the question is are ready to?
really what good are you doing to rant and rave about some thing when you ain't perfect your self and yes since i never said i wanted to fuck you u had to have thought about it your self meaning you are a pedophile and an inter net predator and i don't wanna talk to you cuz you are not a nice rapist. soo good by bitch!!!! hope you get raped in the ass by a guy how is HIV+
"Not gay as in i take 'it up the bum' gay but gay as in 'you're a fag', gay."
I hate to tell you that your using the English language wrong but...oh wait, no I don't. A fag is a cigarette you idiotic homophobe. We're called homosexuals or bisexuals.
"A fag is a cigarette. It is also a person who suffers from homophobia."
OK LETS SEE HERE.
"A fag is a cigarette." yes correct it is next.
"It is also a person who suffers from homophobia." now as any one w/ eyes can see you don't like "fags" ok thats #1
ok you suffer from homophobia #2
annnd you are an idoit that's #3
now i am about to start a count down (you know 3 2 1) ok and it will also be your words so you can't say it's not true cuz ... well YOU said it ok... ready
you are an idoit that suffers from homophobia thus making you a "fag" witch you don't like meaning ... you don't like your self. a cry for help all you had to do was say so. don't worry we can get you some help.
WAT ARE YOU SIRUS RIGHT NOW YOU MUST BE HIGH OR SOMETHING BECAUSE NO LETS BRAKE DOWN THE BULL SHIT THAT YOU SAID
"Racist. They tend to be gay..." NO NO NO YOU ARE SO WRONG IT'S THE HOMOPHOBES AND GAY BASHERS THAT TEND TO BE GAY SO CORRECT YOUR SELF AND SECOND
"Nothing wrong with being a homophobe" ok i'm gonna calm down on this one mostly cuz i think you mistyped. wat you ment to type waz " Nothing wrong with being HOMO" becuz that would have been right. realy you are the most... stop bring it together ... ok you should realy think about wat you say becuz you never know who your gonna need
do you hear .... better yet see what you typing a statement like that will set anybody off you need need need to check what you say cause that is just childish,inappropriate,stupid,and down right disrespectful.
There is something wrong with being a homophobe. It effects people. It makes people want to kill themselves. I'm bisexual and i've had to deal with homophobes becauseof it. Homophobes are the type of people that are just afraid of what's new; what's different. Just because someone likes their same sex doesn't make them a bad disgusting person. it makes them an honest person. people don't get to choose if they are gay or not. the only choice they have to make is whether they want to be pretend to be something they are not or be honest and happy. Homophobia is actually somewhat similar to being racist because they might not be against them because of a skin color, but they are against people for who they are. You can't help to be who you are.
I understand what you're saying you dirty sodomite. Actually I don't. It does make you a bad disgusting person. Sorry to say. Actually I'm not sorry either. To be honest I wouldn't have a problem with faggots if they kept it behind closed doors. If they kept it in mens public bathrooms. But when I see 2 men holding hands - Dead them. It's on TV, Cinema, Radio, everywhere. It's disgusting. Keep your filthy mouth to yourself, I don't know where it's been. You cunt.
You know, i kinda understand what you're saying too. Yeah sometimes people take a little to far in public, but then again i bet you don't mind if two girls are holding hands or some other form of public display of affection. Thats how a lot of different people are..they have a problem when a guy and a guy want to have a relationship, but when two girls want to have a relationship it's alright? That's fucking retarded and a double standard.
Do you just get on this site to say one thing about the topic then just bash whoever thinks differently? You're obviously saying that racism is worse because you are a homophobe and you don't give to shits about what you do to people as long as you get something out of it. As i have said before its all the same. Racism is just hating a certain race....while homophobia is pretty much hating gays, but with fear. You are just immature and insensitive bastard that nobody gives to shits about.
Let me be serious for a second. Racism = hating a race. Homophobia (apparently) is hating gays with fear. So what's the term for somebody who hates gays, without fear. Apart from normal. Or righteous. etc.
If you didn't give a shit, then why did you bother replying you dirty fucking queer.
Did I forgot to mention you're an asshole. I'll take that back, you obviously enjoy assholes. Bastard.
U A SUCH A PUSSEY LIKEING HORE! IT IS DISGUSTING YES I AGREE TO SEE TWO MEN IN PUBLIC KISS AND IT IS TRIFULLING TO SEE TWO WOMEN KISSING BUT REALLY THAT'S ALL YOU HAD TO TYPE.NO IT IS NOT RIGHTEOUS TO SAY FAGS ALL THE TIME. I BET YOU AREN'T E EVEN CUTE SO U ALSO HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY HOW DIGUSTING YOU ARE AND HOMOPHOBIA IS'NT AN ACCUTAL FEAR SO YOUR BITCHASS WOULDN'T KNOW YOU ARE AFRAID THAT PEOPLE WILL OUT U SO YOU PICK ON THE PEOPLE THAT ARE EASY TO PICK ON. SO NO MY DUMMY YOU ARE THE BASTARD... JUST YOU! AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA REPLY TO HIS MESSEDGE SAY THAT HE NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT HOW HE MAKE S OTHER PEOPLE FEEL INSTED TALKIABOUT HOW HE IS WASTING HIS TIME TYPING STUPID STUFF ON THE COMPUTER.
You know, i kinda understand what you're saying too.

That's fucking retarded and a double standard.
I understand where you're coming from....sometimes people take PDA to far, but then again it isn't just the LGBT's that do. I didn't get into this to start pointing fingers and using derogatory terms for everyone that doesn't think the same as me. Makes the people that do sound weak and thats a fact not just opinion. It's everywhere because more people are coming out of a lie. More LGBT's are coming out because they realize they don't need to be afraid of people like you. Because honestly we don't care what you say just sometimes you take it farther then just calling us cunts or dirty sodomites. Coming from me, my opinion, people like you don't deserve to judge people like me.
First of all she did not use one word that a true Christian would consider "dirty" besides claiming her true path in being bisexual. Now let me show you something, let's go through what YOU said and find out what the meaning of "dirty" truely is.
"Dirty sodomite"
"Faggots"
"Cunt"
Now, I do believe you should keep your dirty mouth to yourself. If insulting people makes you a better person then you need to fix your priorities. And, I also forgot to tell you, I'M NOT A CHRISTIAN. SO KEEP YOUR DIRTY FUCKING MOUTH TO YOURSELF YOU HOMOPHOBIC ASSHOLE.
What's christianity got to do with this you goat fucker? You stool pusher, butt bandit, ass molesting, cock munching, batty licking, DIRTY FUCKING SODOMITE!!
Wow, you really are and idiot. It takes alot to put me down and calling me names isn't doing anything for you. I'm bisexual and my boyfriend loves me. I love him. Call me what you want but i'm just a person, just like you. You're not special, you have nothing that makes you any different than other homophobes out there. On my side: i have a life, i have a future. I have the chance to get famous. When I do, i'll be sure to thank you for calling me all these names. And, i'll find you, and i'll make sure that i find all these people you're calling names and come and have a chat with you.
You're fucked up in the head. You're not a person just like me. You're a FAAAAGGGOT.
You want to get famous and call me out? My life doesn't revolve around the internet like you. I do this for about 10 minutes a day. You must be truly depressed and have a shit life (no pun about anal sex intended) in general if you want to find me. Have fun being a dirty sodomite that's famous. I'm sure I'll care.
Even worse is that you came here on valentines day to say this. Fucking loser, didn't you and your fellow sodomite practice rape? Disgusting.
Hmm. Point made. I don't agree, but you made your point. I do not have a shit life. I like my life just the way it is. I don't want to find you, I'm just telling you I will. Sodomite? Again? Really? Try thinking of another word to destroy my "shit life" with.
No, my boyfriend and I have agreed to wait to have sex until I'm ready. So, nice try at putting me down.
I agree. Wow...............................................................................................................................................................................
Baby, You're wrong about one thing...he isn't a person just like us and we aren't people just like him. We are people that want to change things for a better cause, we want whats best for things, we want to have are opinions heard and responded too, and we of all people want to have the same rights as anyone else. That stupid douche monkey, thats all he cares about is himself. He's probably some lowlife peice of shit that has nobody; not a family, not friends, just nothing but himself even if he has that. That's why he has to say shit about us because we have an opinion on what we believe. He's just wanting to be apart of something bigger than himself and we made him mad because we think he's wrong. We think that this is something bigger than what he's making it out to be. He's mad because IT IS something bigger than he's making it out to be.
I had more to say, but when i started typing my brain got distracted by bigger things.
Ya. Are you okay with rape too? Retard. Yes, until i'm ready because he respects me and he's not an asshole like you who just takes what he wants. He's a great guy, maybe you should try being one once in a while. Yeah.
Ya. Are you okay with rape too? Retard. Yes, until i'm ready because he respects me and he's not an asshole like you who just takes what he wants. He's a great guy, maybe you should try being one once in a while. Yeah.
He could be the nicest guy in the world... but he's still a homosexual which means I will always be better than him no matter what. He respects you? LOL!! This is some disgusting shit.
He's not a homosexual!!! You're such a retard! I'M A FREAKING GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You just assumed me and her were guys just because we are bi or because we supported the LGBT's. Wow. I think you are on the confused side...you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!! Nobody fucking cares what you have to fucking say....so shut the fuck up already.
It makes sense to think you're guys. But you wouldn't understand that because you're a confused little girl. You don't know what you're doing in this world. You don't understand how you're supposed to live. You just worry about your own happiness because you're selfish. All you care about is yourself. All your thoughts are about yourself. Grow up and live in the real world child.
You're wrong again. I'm not a selfish lil girl...if anything I'm selfless. I care more about other people than I care about myself...its who I am. I do live in the real world...I live more in the real world then most people. My thoughts are never about myself..there always about other people. Maybe you need to grow up and realize that you don't do a very good job of judging people...you got me and Blayke13 all wrong.
I think it would be more appropriate instead of the word 'homophobic' that "sexual discrimination against homosexuals" would be a far more appropriate term.
That said, they are just a bad as each other; the only difference being that race/racism was alot more open and easy to identify. Homosexualality has only become accepted within the mainstream in the last 10 years.
I actually think it would be appropriate for us to call them homophobes when they call us homo's. Name calling is a thing that no one ever gets over. This is not to start an argument it's just to say that if we should respect them by saying the have sexual discrimination against homosexuals then maybe they could try and call us homosexuals for once. Not homo's, not faggots, not gay, homosexual.
why in the world would someone say all of thoes words when the CORRECT term is HOMOPHOBIC there is no other way of saying it. and considering your name you just like me are a christan or something in that area and our bible and god (i think) is agianst homosexual acts and people. now i am not most people arn't but i do belive that what hap
Being Racist, because it's evil. Hating fags is pure and patriotic.
So when scientists do locate the gene that alters the human orientation, I wonder if you will retract that statement or continue on being an idiotic homophobic extremist.
Are you familiar with the saying ignorance is bliss?
YOU ALREADY KNOW I DON'T LIKE YOU BUT YOU ARE WRONG I WOULD RATHER YOU HAD SAID YOU WERE RACIST THEN HOMOPHOBIC BECUZ BY YOU SAYING THAT YOU ARE SAYING THAT AMERICA (I AM YOUS ING YOUR WORDS) "Hating fags is pure and patriotic" I DON'T HATE GAY PEOPLE I MIGHT DISLIKE ONE IF THAT ONE MAKES A MOVE ON ME AND WON'T STOP BUT THERE IS A DIFFERANCE AND WAT YOU SAID WAS RONG AND YOU MIGHT ... NO NEED TO CORECT IT AND TO ALL THE NON AMERICANS OUT THERE IT IS NOT PATRIOTIC ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TURN ON THE NEWS TO SEE THAT PEOPEL LIKE christjesus ARE NOT PATRIOTIC THEY ARE IDIOTIC!
I have something for all of you " Never shut out anyone because of there race, sex, sexal preferance, size, religon, adiction ect. because one day you might be drowning and there might be a black life gaurd or you might be on death row and innocent and the best lawyer around is gay or you might be shot right in the head and your surgeon is muslamic never shut anyone out ever " - Trasonia C. Noneofyourbizzness
I'd say it's worse to be homophobic because racism has been around since (and even though i do not believe in it i shall reference it) bible times. Being a homophobe is pretty sad. It's like putting a whole group of people in exile for preferring yellow to blue.
I only went with Homophobic because there was no there as bad as each other button!! Hating someone for who they are is ridiculous, I am a strong believer in live and let live
There is honestly no difference between the two versions of discrimination, the only difference is that racism isn't as big a problem these days, and homophobia is.
So right now, it's worse being homophobic, because you are contributing to the active problem of today. Being openly racist will get you hated by many and liked by few. Being openly homophobic will get you hated by few and liked by many.
I will say homophobic because it is a strict hatred toward a group of people and the hatred is so severe that some homophobic people wish death toward homosexuals.
