I heard two people talking about this the other night, and was wondering what you guys thought. Is being gay in your DNA, or is it 'acquired' through your life?

So yeh, enlighten me...

That's all set to change in a couple of years though. Already, Massachusetts is set to allow full homosexual rights and marriages by Friday next week - the same is likely to happen in Britain in several years time.

No, its not. The male gay age of consent is 18. there are moves to bring it into line with the hetrosexual age of consent.

It is however perfectly legal for a 16 year old boy to have a relationship with a 61 year old woman, or a 16 year old girl to have a relationship with a 61 year old man.

[edit] And a homosexual couple has far, far less rights in the eyes of the law that even an unmarried hetrosexual couple.

What about it? Children use homosexuality as an insult to one another. Many children believe being gay is 'bent', different and so is a term of mockery - as well as acknowledging that the sin of homosexuality is disgusting - which it obviously is.

Homosexuals appear to have the exact same rights as hetrosexuals. No laws target homosexuals - it is perfectly legal for one example for a 16 year old boy to have a homosexual relationship with a 61 year old man. Light - where do you think the word 'Christian' is derived from - Christ. I believe Jesus Christ is Lord and Messiah - which makes me a Christian - even though I'm not particularly fond with how much the word has been used - I still am a Christian.

I've answered each one of the 17 questions Light. I can repost the answers of you would like.

I would have thought you'd be delighted at the prospect of actually having sex with another human being. Anything that doubles your chances should be applauded, surely?

Anyway, you've ran scampering and crying from addressing the fact that;

- Everyone has challenged your "Small children use it as an insult so it must be wrong" piece of nonsense. Gonna acknowledge that or are you gonna be a coward and ignore it?

- Homophobic stance in the media; the Sun tried to claim that Peter Mandleson ran a 'gay mafia' in government. As for why the government is 'not tough', well if you bothered to acknowledge what everyone else is saying here, you'd see that the equality you speak of is considered to be a right of any human being. In fact, you'd probably see that people's desire for equality makes every other poster here more of a christian than you'll ever be.

- There are still about 17 questions of mine you've failed to answer. I thought you wanted to talk about Jesus? Apparently you don't; you only want to talk about you and your opinions, don't you? Cos then you can kid yourself you're special.

'apauling' homophobic stance in the media? Currently homosexuality is being accepted - television programmes and soaps are made - where the viewer is told to accept homosexuality. The goverment is also not tough on homosexuality allowing legal homosexual sex at the same age as hetrosexual.

I never really understood why that was an insult.
Surely 9-year-old hussies are more bad than good.
