Gays are just guys with different views and perspectives towards love,no?
I don't mean to sound close-minded (and forgive me if I do), but there's a REASON why men were created to marry women and thus reproduce. If everyone was "gay", what would become of society?
Furthermore, you do not have a choice over your race, but you DO have a choice over whether you will be "gay" or "straight".
Evidence: My friend (who used to be in one of the CHIJ schools) explained to me that, in her previous school, those who were lesbians were POPULAR. People who started off "straight" made a CONSCIOUS DECISION to be lesbians in hope of being accepted.
My friend considered being lesbian. However, in the end, she CHOSE not to be.
Not all "gays" are BORN "gay". Some CHOOSE to be. I don't know if this sounds bad, but it's like (as one other forumer mentioned) a serial killer. Some know that what they do has a negative impact on society, and yet they continue to do these actions. It's not wrong to have these desires, because, as a teen with raging hormones, I can honestly say that it isnt a rare occurance, especially if you go to a single-sex school. (I'm "straight", by the way..). However, it IS wrong to carry out these actions.
At least, that's my understanding of it... If you have evidence against my words, I'll take them back..
