Description
alright. it's time for me to say it. i am SICK AND TIRED of people flashing the bible around as an excuse to be against gay people. Why? Love knows no gender, that's why. a gay couple is LOVE. a lesbian couple is LOVE. it doesn't matter what's between your legs, what matters is how much you love the other person. do you think that people would come out if they knew that their parents might not accept them? would they come out if they knew they'd lose friends over it? exactly. your point is now invalid. if you're a christian who doesn't have a-hole syndrome (that's what i call homophobes who harass gay people and tell them why they're wrong), then great! we can be great friends! if you do, however, have a-hole syndrome, go away. you aren't welcome because you just want to tell me all the reasons why i'm wrong for supporting gay people. i'm not disabling comments or blocking people. release the kraken.Related content

definition of religion: the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
therefore, religious people have no right to correct what people are doing "wrong" (by their definition of wrong)
Religion is only about belief, not correction. I don't know where people got that idea, but I don't like it :/

Pro homo here.
This is both a poor and ignorant argument. You clearly don't know enough about the cause to support your argument if you have to block everyone who disagrees.
In any case, love is a very abstract concept, and some would argue that it doesn't even exist and is a social construct (I'm personally on the fence about it). Anyway, Christians would say that they're simply confused. They think they're gay, because they've been lead astray by the devil or something. That's why they're willing to face the social repercussions; because society has lead them to believe that it isn't choice, therefore they think they have no other options. Your argument is simply an argument by personal definition, and its exact same structure can be turned around and used against you. It's weak.
Is that the correct way of thinking? I don't think so. But it's not right to be a jerk to someone just because you don't like their religion. Get mad at the people who actually oppress homosexuals, not those who respectfully hold their belief that it's wrong.

god i'm sorry for being thirteen. i don't hate Christians, i just hate what MOST of them think. actually, the ones who shove the bible down your throat, those ones i hate. but i can't necessarily hate my mom because she's catholic and totally for gays. i honestly should have worded the "a-hole syndrome" thing better. basically what i mean is if you're against homosexuals and constantly bully them and tell them they're wrong (or even do it behind their back because they're too much of a wuss to say it to their face), then they have a-hole syndrome. if they're respectful about it meaning they say "I disagree with homosexuality, but if you are homosexual I don't have an issue", that's fine. yes, i am saying one of my closest friends has a-hole syndrome. why? she constantly criticizes people for being gay because it's "unnatural". what's weird is her sister, who is my age, doesn't have an issue but my friend is almost 15. honestly i'm not trying to be ignorant, i'm just not the best at wording things.
explains why my grade in language arts is a d :/

Wow, you're only thirteen? I'm 27, and I have to say I thought you were much older due to your maturity and well-spoken nature in this piece. Of course, I love the fact that it says Love Sees No Gender (I don't know if it was intentionally referencing my group, but I love it!). Whoever is your language arts teacher needs to be fired for giving you poor grades. I know that a lot of people my age would not be able to write or defend something like this.
To ExplosiveSquid:
Honestly, being queer is from birth. Being a narcissistic zealot who strongly believes in their own omniscience and infallibility due to their ability to criticize a thirteen-year-old using using nothing but the power of pretentiousness is a lifestyle choice and makes you a bully and a hypocrite. And, yes, I understand that you claim that you don't condone the position of religiously inspired homophobia, but that's no reason to randomly start an argument with someone with the only supporting evidence is confronting your adversary's the style of writing while simultaneously salivating over the idea that only emotionless, objective logic exists and believing you're the only one who can determine that.
Let me speak in a natural way that doesn't make me want to puke. You are a dime a dozen. I'm guessing that you got a B- in your Forensics 101 class and hug your English grammar book every night as you sleep alone in your mom's basement with a life-size cardboard cutout of Taylor Swift as your girlfriend. The ability to use eloquent or fancy words DOES NOT prove your point. I've seen so many people think that they know everything because they know what the word "interpellation" means and rant on the internet about how everyone is stupid and makes everything personal.
Well, I have news for you, Renee Descartes. I can write like that, too, and think I'm superior to someone, but that's a bunch of shit. I come from an immigrant family, and although they can't write like an English-speaking Enlightenment philosopher, they are a lot more intelligent than I am. The way a person phrases their argument may sound better when using a more sophisticated vocabulary, but it doesn't actually make their point more valid. It's just how it sounds, and even though you picked your words with an icy eloquence, you really aren't making any sense. In fact, I wonder if you are just writing like that to make it sound like you know what you're talking about, which you don't.
Don't tell me that I'm being immature or "incorrect" by being offensive. You are actually the one who made the precedent. You started insulting someone else, which is entirely personal, hypocritical, and obnoxious, so you cannot expect me to treat you on good terms.
Times are changing. The personal is the political, and those who do not accept that fail to see the social consequences of some imbecilic attempt to rationalize and dissect something that is personal by nature. Religion and sexual orientation is a highly personal topic, and claiming that it somehow can be discussing in an objective, non-biased manner in any kind of useful and valid way is just untrue. Of course being gay is personal. How could it not be? We all have different sexual orientations, and each one of us bases their opinion on their own personal experiences and what they hear from others. And, as has been established, issues concerning gay rights are political as well.
You make me sick.

Yes, it's sad. I think the tragedy is not just how well everybody writes but the consequences of not having a good education. A lot of people who are intolerant of others are also poorly educated. They haven't been around enough people or been exposed to diverse types of views. Hopefully, education will get better in the United States because I think it will have a huge positive effect on progressive thinking.

I hope so. I have nieces and nephews (and a niece on the way), and it would just be terrible to see them get a terrible education. Luckily, my brothers and I were very well-educated by my mom, she taught us that there's nothing wrong with any sexualities, no gender is superior, treat others how you want to be treated. I feel like nowadays, I'm one of a kind. Nobody is as educated as our family anymore, they just listen to what they see on TV or hear from their own parents. I feel like if someone wants to practice a religion, that's great! I have no issues with it as long as they're not forcing everyone to do things their way. I see it a lot, and it's unfortunate.
Nothing in there about correcting people on what they believe someone is doing wrong.

Wow... 13-year-old you sickens me. Now that you moved to at least you now accept Christianity, whereas in the past, you seemed like a Nazi who forced others that being Christian is wrong.
