What is homosexuality? I ponder over this question after having to be exposed to homosexuality on almost a daily basis — through magazines, news media, television, movies, etc. It’s almost everywhere you look anymore.

Being a Christian and a very open-minded person, I am trying to understand the answer to this question. First, I’d like to say that I have known or know a few people very well who are gay, but I have never been able to bring myself to ask them the reasons for being the way they are, or for living the lifestyles they do — without the thought of starting an argument, or maybe embarrassing them.

I have found these people to be very nice, really no different than anyone else, except for the fact that they are gay. ...

I personally don’t agree with homosexuality. I think it’s wrong and, according to the Bible, God never approved of it, either. ...

I guess what really gets me is — why are gay people wanting everyone else to accept that homosexuality is a natural thing, and it is OK to be this way? ... Homosexuality does not even fit into the law of nature.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate anyone. This is not a hate letter. I am just tired of being subjected almost daily to accepting this as normal and natural, when it is not. I feel that what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedrooms are their business, but that is where it should be kept. Don’t come out of the closet. ...

And remember this: When we all stand before God on the judgment day, we will give account for all that we have done in our lives.

1) You say you believe homosexuality is wrong and defies the laws of nature. I would like to point out that most wild animals are bisexual, and many of them are gay. Have you ever had dogs? They're pretty much all bisexual.
2) Please try putting the shoe on the other foot for a second. Imagine if I told you that *your* sexuality was wrong and that I wished you would stop expressing yourself as a hetero because it offends me.
3) The fact taht you consider yourself open minded is hilarious.

To your an idiot. From your letter I can tell you are into this lifestyle. In my lifetime, I have witnessed restrooms shut down, interstate rest area closed by the behavior of your ilk, and places you would be afraid to send your child in alone. The **** lifstyle is immoral and these people who sue public facilities to look for their pleasure, should be put in jail for many years.

Carlos--You're so presumptuous. (Look it up.....) First of all, how do you know that HAHAHAHAHAHA! was male? Secondly, you seem to have a very high opinion of yourself--how do you get through doors with that head? Third, I agree with HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You seem to feel very threatened for no reason. You really need to get over yourself. Unfortunately,you truly ARE an idiot who will never get it......

BTW--where did you have these RR experiences? A gay bar?

You're an idiot

To HAHAHAHAHAHAHA;

I have not been accosted in any restrooom, but I must be attractive to gays as I have had them tell me what they wanted to do with what I was holding in my hand. I just ignore them, but after your writing, I can assume you are one of these guys, and from now on, when it happens I'll just bust their chops. I'll especially be waiting on you.

First of all, The stupidity on this board astounds me.....

And to Carlos: You seem kind of egotistical to me. What makes you think that you're worth looking at? And if you're secure in your sexuality, what are you afraid of? Unless you've been accosted in a public restroom, (which I HIGHLY doubt....) your comments are born out of sheer ignorance.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
