Be prepared, don't let this long post scare you away !
Okay, so a supposed friend and I had gotten into an arguement about homosexuality, which is a topic we argue about constantly.
I am not a homosexual in any way, but I do believe in gay rights. I know a few people who are gay, and I've seen things that people have done, and things that people have said. Which is why I feel so strongly over this issue. I do not have a problem with anyone's sexual orientation; it simply does not bother me. I am actually somewhat impressed with those who are openly gay, because they are going into public view, with full knowledge that not everyone is going to accept them. It's very brave.
Her argument is that, okay, being a gay couple is one thing. But then eventually, they will get married, and maybe want to adopt kids. She thinks that a gay couple should not be allowed to adopt kids, because bringing a child up in that sort of situation is like brainwashing them into thinking homosexuality is right.
I do not agree with that at all. Everyone deserves to feel love, and if people find love in those of the same gender, then they should be able to go on living the same type of lifestyle as everyone else, gay or not. I feel that children definately bring happiness into couples' lives, so if two men, or two women want to settle down and have kids (which is obviously not possible, so therefore, if two women or two men would like to adopt kids) then that should be possible without judgement. People should not be deprived of anything just because they are attracted to someone of the same sex.
And might I add that this girl also thinks that all people who are gay are automatically attracted to everyone (of the same sex) that they meet ? I mean, I am heterosexual, and I can definately say that I am not attracted to every single male that I meet. She thinks that all gay men go around wanting to shove things up their ass (excuse my graphic language) and that all people who are gay (because this is what this topic is about) are players, and all they want is sex. And again, I must bring up the fact that being a heterosexual, I am not attracted to every guy I meet, I do not want to go around shoving things up my you-know-where all day, and I am not a player who wants sex all the time. And while I am not gay, I'm pretty sure I can say the same for gay people, because who you love does not have that big of an effect on your personality.
Anyways. I'm sorry if I was ranting, but I am definately interested on hearing what all your Mibbians have to say.
PS. A note to admins : If this topic has already been created, then feel free to delete it (but hopefully you'll point me in the right direction first). I know there is already a topic about Gay Marriage, but hopefully you'll see that this topic is completely different. I hope all this writing wasn't for nothing.
ALSO, this post has been taken from part of a journal I wrote, so if you're interested in seeing the whole thing, then here's the link.
