I know quite a few gay people. They would not choose this lifestyle if they could avoid it. My uncle was married and had 3 kids before outing himself this year. He tried to be someone that he was not for 25 years, and he has paid the price.
You are part of the reason why people do this. You should be ashamed of yourself.
True conservatives - champions of liberty - are happy about this ruling. The Court is the last check against tyranny, and it did the right thing today. The government would take all of your liberty away if it could go unchecked.
Agreed on all counts. I would not be gay if I felt like I had a choice. Search my past posts, I've tried to be straight, but I've never been successful.
I think GeekDrew pretty much nailed this one. I think the majority of America has become tolerant of homosexuality, and the court reflects that.
Thanks!
MOst of the people in this thread are not gay, they just support the idea that, if someone is truly gay and wants to make love to another man in their own home, there should be nothing wrong with it. Gay isn't cool, it just is. It's not some new-fangled "fad" or anything. Look at all the people who were gay in history, some of them changed the world. It's not like gays just started popping up in the 20th century. Now please, shoot yourself in the head so we can have one less idiot in this world.
True... I only know of 1 other gay in this thread...
I don't think that ANYONE has any business telling me what I can or can not do with any other person in my own bedroom (providing it's consentual).
Great...so now I have to put up with folks posting "Do him in the butt"???
If they insist. It's no different than "Do her in the butt!"

YOU are now the minority in believing that way. That particular minority will never again be the majority. Live with it
Your opinion doesn't count anyway. You have proven yourself a homo by you earlier statements.

Proven myself a homo? Yep. Out & Proud. My opinion, however, does still count. And no matter what the **** you say, you are in the minority now... gays are being accepted, they will no longer be repressed. There will still be hardships for them, but the public is now turning in their favor.


Spout it off man just like everyone spouts being straight

Also i love how everyone here attacks anyone that thinks homosexual ideas are wrong by immediately calling them a redneck, fight stereotypes with stereotypes really breaks down that wall/barrier all you people talk about. Tolerance is awesome.


In my opinion sodomy is wrong in all forms, male to male, male to female, etc, etc. Things simply should not go up there if it can be avoided at all which it can be (unless your have a scope!), I also fail to see how this can possibly be enjoyable ( the first person to tell me to try it gets kicked in the nads! :p ).

Sex has become a very frivolous thing today and while I can't comment on personal experience since i am a virgin I think that most likely when you have sex with someone its a fairly intimate thing and you in one way or another form an emotional bond with that person whether you recognize it or not. People in general are not treating sex as an emotional act any longer and its more of a means as entertanment and while that is all well and good if you feel that way I still think it will effect the person negatively in terms of emotion.

If someone were to ask you what the point of sex is today what would you answer? Is it a means of entertainment? Is it a way to get closer and form a closer bond with your partner? Is it to procreate? If you view it as entertainment I guess you probably won't see sodomy as wrong since its all fun and games. If you view it as a means to become closer to your partner sodomy is still probably alright in your book since i guess 2 people of the same sex could be closer after sodomy? This is somewhat weird to me, I still fail to see how 2people of the same sex could be anything more than friends and what would possible drive them to do something like this. Lastly if you view sex as a means to procreate then you most likely wont afgree with sodomy since obviously you cant procreate through means of anal sex. Then there is combination views which basically everyone has and what not :)

I also feel being homosexual is a choice and something you can change if you want to. This view has nothing to do with religion and i am hardly a religious person at all anyway. It almost seems to me that homosexuals just cant place that barrier between a friendship. I can say that i love my best friend after knowing him for so many years or something like that but it would be a platonic love with absolutely no sexual meaning.

I just woke up even tho is 2:45 so if this post totally sucks just kill me :)

It is interesting to point out that in the bible sodomy is defined as sex between a man and his horse. There may be other passages relating to same-sex intercourse but it is never defined as sodomy. (Any of you folks who know the bible really well feel free to provide a quote and prove me wrong)

Anyway, I think 2 people can become closer as a result of sodomy if that is what they're into. Remember, just because you don't like something doesn't mean other people don't. I mean I hate Bell Peppers, Lite Rock and Mayonase and other people love them, but I don't go telling them it's wrong for them to... okay, except for the Lite Rock. :p In all seriousness some people just like to do "dirty" things, but that doesn't mean there's no love involved. Take BDSM for example. It takes a lot of trust to let someone tie you up and do horrible horrible things to you, (or whatnot) and as most of us know trust is a huge part of love. I'd say something like that could easily keep love between two people very strong.

My other point is about the theory that homosexuality is a choice. I would just like to remind all of you that it has been proven that homosexuality occurs as a result of events that happen during the development of a fetus. Specifically when the fetus goes from being "genderless" to male or female. All fetuses begin as female, then at the right point changes occur whereby the fetus begins to develop male characteristics. The brain also develops during this time. However, if the process is interrupted or somehow slowed it may change the development process, so in this case the part of the brain responsible for sexual desire may not aquire the "male" switching, as it were. (Or aquires the male switching if we're talking about lesbians) Usually the body is affected too. This is why the stereotypical gay man looks slightly effeminate, talks with a high voice, has fairer skin, etc etc. As a side note it's events in fetal development like this that lead to hermaphroditism (is that even a word?) and similar such conditions.

Anyway, the bottom line is that science has proven the "choice" theory wrong. I suppose if you're a very religious person who doesn't believe the other things science has proven -- the earth is more than 6000 years old, etc. -- then this means nothing to you, but otherwise I hope it has informed you.

I'll see if I can find a link to this somewhere.

Truly. People who get up in arms about same sex sex being unlawful need to get a life.

If it doesn't affect you and no one is being hurt by it shut the hell up.

BITE ME oh Scion of Ignorance!

It isn't about Homo or hetero...it's about individual privacy and freedom. Up to this point the government has said it has the right to decide what's moral and what's not in your own home between consenting adults. All sodomy, that is to say, all sex which is not standard missionary between only two legal age consenting adult humans, has been illegal in many states for many years...not because of safety or any reasonable cause, but because of the personal, most often religious beliefs of some rich family in control of YOUR private life.

This decision will start a trend of reversal. We'll FINALLY get the government to do what it was intended to do and stay out of our personal situations. It's a victory the scope of which was unimaginable to me even yesterday.

Dude, we were agreeing with you. I was saying that people that believe same sex sex should be unlawful need to get a life.

I think that sex is to form a closer bond to your partner... I, for one, don't jump in bed with whatever man may want to.

As for drawing the line with friendships... I do know where that line is, but apparently some of my former friends don't. I loved several of my male friends that were straight... love as in platonic; friendship. I had no interest in having sex with them. They, however, didn't take it that way. We all had a bad night because of some other things... in the end we said that we'd all stick together, and they said that they loved me, etc... when I said that I loved them, they ran like the wind and never looked back.

Bigot.

To my knowledge the number of Atheists who have killed people because their beliefs aren't the same is non-existant.
