    That's a lil sad. No one wants to be lonely. But people need to try to Change their life from Homosexuality and or lesbian. Because Its not right... God doesn't like it. I know its hard and you feel like the straight people doesn't understand, And Actually trhey dont to be honest most straight men and women are very judgemental and idiots. but alot of Gays and Lesbians are also.. However. God isn't very pleased with it, just like he isnt with Lying Stealing, Cheating, AND SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE AND FORNICATION... With Jesus you wont have to worry about Dieases or losing friends, BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY FRIEND WE ALL CAN HAVE AND LIVE FOR YOURSELF BUT LIOVE IN A RIGHTEOUS WAY FOR THE LORD. Beacuse after al he say If you love me Obey My Commandments Keep them. Dont become disobeint to them. And the dieases he put her on earth wont happen to you. And even if it does happen to you. Jesus HEALS. SO PLEASE take my advice and TURN FROM WICKNESS, EVILNESS,ENVY, BAK STABBERS, BACK BITERS, Go to a church where you can hear from God. Not thing syou wanna hear but things that you dont want to hear, Coz the truth does tend to hurt when its true.
    God Bless EveryOne

    Chato gotta go to bed now. It feels really good to lay next to a woman that loves you and not a stinky man with a sweaty ass. I would never want to walk a mile in their shoes so do not even go there. Good night homos and enjoy singing Karoke at your local gay bar.

      So the woman lying next to you has to put up with your sweaty self and stinky ass? Maybe she would be happier lying next to a woman

    Most gays choose to be gay because of problems they faced when growing up and loneliness

    • Posted By: thundering @ 09/20/2008 9:28:10 PM

      Oh yes, I chose to be attracted to men before I even knew what homosexuality was because I was lonely and had problems. If that were the case then wouldn't I immediately change my mind once girls started pursuing me and guys didn't?

    Unfortunately I do not have my life 100% in order. I still have to deal with an addiction to pornography on a daily basis. But with the help of the all mighty I have sure come a long way.

    • Posted By: Pimientita @ 09/20/2008 9:18:37 PM

      Javier, I am responding to this comment in particular because it illustrates what I believe to be your problem.

      "Unfortunately I do not have my life 100% in order. I still have to deal with an addiction to pornography on a daily basis. But with the help of the all mighty I have sure come a long way."

      Your problem, IMO, is that you are projecting your own shortcomings and your own struggles onto other people.

      You perceive pornography viewing as a sickness because you (seemingly) have an addiction to it. Not everyone is the same. There are many, many sexually, emotionally and physically healthy people who view pornography. Just like there are many, many people who can have one drink and then go home when others *have* to have more.

      Stop trying to project your struggles onto the rest of us. We have our own damn problems.

      As for the topic, you said that you thought you "thought you could be homosexual" in your youth. You seem to have equated that with viewing pornography. I would think, especially with the gay seniors, gay pornography wasn't the issue. Again, you seem to be equating your own squeamishness with homosexuality and your addiction to porn with the population at large who seem to have a more healthy approach to sex. It seems to be the people who want to repress not just their own sexuality, but others as well, who end up binging by being bound and gagged in two rubber suits, dying from asphyxiation because they didn't know how to play it safe. Just like kids who are told to "just say no, just say no" end up with more pregnancies and STD because they don't know how to play it safe.

      Not everyone is like you. Most of us are normal, healthy human beings who know when enough is enough and we don't need some recently born-again, sanctimonious crap from a mentally unhealthy individual like you.

    life is just rough all over. Unique Needs??? Screw that. I'm so sick of this we need to be singled out, because we're different crud. Mid you I couldnt care less if you're gay, hetero, or you worship fire hydrants, but you dont deserve any SPECIAL treatment!

  • Posted By: scru @ 09/20/2008 9:13:40 PM

    You defied God's law, what goes around comes around. Now you exect benefits for a lifestyle that is is not recognized, or should be. Go with the will thing.

  • Posted By: MichelleChemE @ 09/20/2008 9:05:22 PM

    Wow, I am a straight woman and pretty sickened by what I have read here. Gay people are people too and have nothing to do with the fact that most marriages break up or so many kids are born out of wedlock. Over 90% of people are straight so obviously straight people are causing most of the worlds problems. (Not to mention every single abortion that many of you rant about occurred due to HETEROSEXUAL SEX that you find so less icky.) Yes, gay people can have issues, but so do most of my straight people. Most straight people live lives I don't agree with (women who have lazy, deadbeat boyfriends they support, men and women spreading herpes to each other and spreading lies, people bringing kds into the world they have no business having), but I guess all that is A OK?

    hey bible thumpers.....as they call us, you really cant use the bible as a reference here. It wont work. The Word is foolishness to those who are perishing, they cannot understand it even if they wanted to, and they dont. Fact is, if they cannot see that the fruit of thier deeds is ugly, what makes you think they can see spritual things? They have exchanged the truth for a lie.

  • Posted By: ExpandYourMind LiveYourLife @ 09/20/2008 8:35:37 PM

    God does not exsist, therefor, all you bible thumping bigots have lost this argument. The bible was not written by prophets, it was written by men to control the masses through fear.

    Look around your world, do you see a caring, forgiving god in all that happens? I sure dont.

    • Posted By: CHATO4444 @ 09/20/2008 8:57:46 PM

      Expandyourass...rent a copy of A Case for Faith. Maybe it will help before it is too late for you.

    • Posted By: getthepoint @ 09/20/2008 8:39:47 PM

      sounds alot like the liberal media......written by men to control the masses....I guess they dont exist either, ...

        God set the moral lines when the universe was created, uh, where were you in the process, thought so.....

  • Posted By: Javier Castellon @ 09/20/2008 8:46:52 PM

    When I was younger I used to think I could be a homosexual myself. Once a pernicious thought enters one mind it could really harm an individual. This is particularly true younger people that have not yet developed fully. And with pornography being so available now days it just exacerbates the situation.

  • Posted By: Javier Castellon @ 09/20/2008 8:44:57 PM

    There is a spiritual war being fought in this world most people do not even know exists.

  • Posted By: jjay15 @ 09/20/2008 7:04:19 PM

    gays and lesbians should be given no respect because there it is sick and discusting.

    • Posted By: TurkReno @ 09/20/2008 7:06:43 PM

      Do you also think that people who are slaves in Africa shouldn't be given respect? They didn't choose to be slaves.

      Do you think that people with a chronic disorder, like Parkinsons, shouldn't be given any respect? They didn't choose that affliction.

      Get with the program, gay people don't choose to be gay.

      • Posted By: CHATO4444 @ 09/20/2008 7:14:09 PM

        You did choose to be gay. I challenge you NOW to post any conclusive scientific data showing what you say to be true. It is a choice and at the very least you have the choice to decide what is right and what is wrong. If you have a so called gay gene you still have the right and human responsibility for your lifestyle and actions. If you do not agree with this then you must be a real weak person who can make a decision between right and wrong.

        • Posted By: JoeBear @ 09/20/2008 8:43:07 PM

          at what defining moment in your pathetic life did you choose to be straight

        • Posted By: TurkReno @ 09/20/2008 7:19:15 PM

          I agree somewhat. The other homosexuals in this world are accountable for their own actions, true. I think that there's plenty of blame to go around too. Maybe, in your mind, if black people never started marrying white people, life would still be hunky-dory to you.

          I don't have to give you proof of what I feel because I can express it in words. Go look up the "White Hawk Gene" and go from there.

      • Posted By: getthepoint @ 09/20/2008 7:08:27 PM

        • Posted By: Deeleesa @ 09/20/2008 7:16:05 PM

          When I was 5, we lived in San Francisco. After I asked my Mother one day why were those 2 men kissing, we moved. I'm 48 now and I can't BELIEVE these sick FACKS want "Respect". They didn't respect me, or my innocence. They made me question reality because I'd only seen men kissing women and vice versa. Nasty, unnatural, vile, most unclean. But hey, they go to PTA Meetings???!!! WTH. It would be the same for me if a turd announced it wanted "Respect". Fat chance. I think Iran has the right idea with these people. We are as strong as our weakest, and I'm sick of these limp wristed freaks.

          • Posted By: TurkReno @ 09/20/2008 7:22:24 PM

            Regardless if their public display of affection, be it by holding hands, showing up for PTA meetings, or showing a sign of affection physically, at least they DO show affection and concern enough to attempt to do these things.

            • Posted By: Deeleesa @ 09/20/2008 8:27:39 PM

              OMG You are SICK. It's UNNATURAL you freak. Go shave your beard you unimaginable waste of skin.

  • Posted By: Javier Castellon @ 09/20/2008 8:43:06 PM

    The media being liberal is a fact.

  • Posted By: bigotandnarrowminded @ 09/20/2008 7:07:04 PM

    The best part of this story that I read "going back into the closet" if they want to be gay or queer or fags or whatever the politically correct term is these days so be it but dont try to force your ways on me. I dont feel for your plight nor do I care. I dont care if u go to heaven or hell its not for me to decide "but dont force your immoral values on me" I dont want to see your gay day parades you are in my narrow mind 2nd class citizens. And yes I have all of my teeth and make 6 figures so dont throw trailer trash at my comment when you probably live in the trailer park yourself and rely on food stamps. Vote McCain/Palin

    • Posted By: JoeBear @ 09/20/2008 8:40:07 PM

      you can earn six figures and still be trailer trash...you jut proved it

    Isn't it great that God is a God of love? That He understands all our weaknesses and failings and loves us anyway? Isn't it rough for some of us that He doesn't see homosexuality as worse than any other sin?
    He doesn't love sin, but He loves all humans - that's a fundamental principle of christianity. If you are fortunate enough not to be struggling with a weakness, live your life so that others will be encouraged to seek God. Love, but don't judge!

    • Posted By: Sure @ 09/20/2008 6:46:52 PM

      Right God is a God of love. But don't forget His justice and Holiness. Choose a side! Quit straddling the fence.

      • Posted By: mythought @ 09/20/2008 8:34:29 PM

        But by the grace of God ...

  • Posted By: bigotandnarrowminded @ 09/20/2008 8:32:32 PM

    No matter what side of the fence you choose to stand on like it or not you and I are not that much different, because we all have our opinions and we all believe we are right and unlike dunes cowboy I have not attacked or called out anybody personaly, I refer to the comment where he stated that I have homosexual tendincies, That clearly points to his great level of intelligance that he she claims to have. Just as I do not no you you do not know me so dont classify me in your group whether you be gay which I assure you I am not as well as do not classify me to be a bible toter because I definitly am not. Right or wrong in my opinions on this subject as well as others I will continue to believe that marriage is between a man and a women and no other form is acceptable in my eyes.

  • Posted By: bkwlgw @ 09/20/2008 8:31:11 PM

    Javier, It sounds like you have your life in order. You live by the Bible. You waited for sex until your marriage, you have never had a drink, you have never smoked. So you are perfect, I'm so glad we found the perfect person!!!!
