I have no problem with it,but the people who are religious on this site will most likley will since they believes every word the Bible says.but actually,there are plenty of evidence of homosexual happenings in the Bible!so clearly it cant be wrong.
My view is that, even though sex is meant for reproduction and obviously gay couples prevent this,there is no problem.They are doing no harm, lets face it straight couples use protection so cant really argue sex is for reproduction.
Anyway what are your views on homosexuality?

im sorry? oh there are in the Bible,certain stories touch upon that certain people may have been homosexual.but u wouldnt know!
you say there are no homosexual happenings in the Bible,so therefore does that mean its wrong? Nah it doesnt,they should be free to do what they want to do.
Uhm I think that Fiend would know the Bible, she's not stupid. Why would she think it's wrong if there are no examples?
Please link to a source about the Bible because like... I think you have the wrong end of the stick.
Some passages that have been advanced as pertinent to the issue of homosexuality are, in fact, irrelevant. One is the attempted gang rape in Sodom (Gen. 19:1-29). That was a case of ostensibly heterosexual males intent on humiliating strangers by treating them "like women," thus demasculinizing them. (This is also the case in a similar account in Judges 19-21.) Their brutal behavior has nothing to do with the problem of whether genuine love expressed between consenting adults of the same sex is legitimate or not. Likewise Deut. 23:17-18 must be pruned from the list, since it most likely refers to a heterosexual prostitute involved in Canaanite fertility rites that have infiltrated Jewish worship; the King James Version inaccurately labeled him a "sodomite."
Several other texts are ambiguous. It is not clear whether 1 Cor. 6:9 and 1 Tim. 1:10 refer to the "passive" and "active" partners in homosexual relationships, or to homosexual and heterosexual male prostitutes. In short, it is unclear whether the issue is homosexuality alone, or promiscuity and "sex-for-hire."
Putting these texts to the side, we are left with three references, all of which unequivocally condemn homosexual behavior. Lev. 18:22 states the principle: "You [masculine] shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination" (NRSV). The second (Lev. 20:13) adds the penalty: "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them."
What do you consider as 'shoved in your face'? Public kissing etc? I find heterosexual couples mostly guilty of that crime [the embittered single
Romans 1:26-27: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence [sic] of their error which was meet."
Leviticus 18:22: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." 8
So basically it's Ok to be gay as long as you do it standing up?
Leviticus 20:13: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."
Please explain your first statement, in all the passages you've quoted the people performing homosexual acts are shown in a disapproving light, because something features in the Bible doesn't mean it's approved of under Christian faith, there's enough murder and incest to make a sister shagging serial killer blush.
Gays who act like Graeme Norton. Trust me, i've seen them. I don't mind kissing or hugging or whatever. Just don't be a prat. I don't prance about going "Im straight, look at me". What makes you special and different?
think about it.
For reference: "But the Bible..."
yeah times change,so should views!
It's not about belief in the bible.
The point is that if you are going justify your opinions on something in the bible, don't be selective and only use those passages which support your bigotry.
Otherwise someone will quote the West Wing passage, which is where this debate usually ends up.
As for right or wrong, there is no answer because it is neither. Homosexuality just is.
For the Christians I would add "judge not, lest.." etc
As a gay mate of mine says "to me, the whole world is a straight club".
Oooh, please, I've never read it.
I don't mind a peck or hug between anyone.
A full on snog though... just fuck off. I don't mind gays discussing anyone else's body, but you know, you get right cunts who sortof make it public. Like someone striaght shouting out "Nice arse" down the street. I don't like that either. Anything like that for any sexuality should be stopped, but some gays claim discrimination on it and abuse the fact they are gay. Like Women getting cheapr car insurance than men, because it's "sexist" if they have to pay the same. x(
Going for it in the middle of the street is a bit nasty.
