Gay rights or wrongs?

A gay story.

Ever seen two little girls holding hands, walking together? Ever seen two little boys with their arms on each others shoulders? Childhood relationships between two kids of the same sex have been around since the dawn of humans. One might say, "What the hell does this have to do with Gay sex?" If one connects "gay" with just sex, then one does not understand what a gay relationship is.

Do we walk up and smack the little girls hands away from each other to prevent them from being lesbians? Do we pull the boys apart and accuse them of being queer? That would be really stupid, right? Most of our childhood relationships are with the same sex. This is how we begin learning about love outside the family.

Usually, our first sexual experience is masturbation. Masturbation is performing sexual acts on one's self. If a male is performing sexual acts on himself, he is performing sexual acts on a male body. The same with females. Is one being somewhat homosexual with themselves by masturbating? Is there not a measure of love for ourselves when we masturbate?

A man could say, "But I was thinking about a woman during masturbation!" I would say, "And where was your hand?" It obviously was not on any part of a woman. Masturbation is about sexual pleasure. Straight sex is about sexual pleasure. Gay sex is about sexual pleasure. Sex is about sex. Love is about love.

The mainstream "Christian" belief is that gay people are doomed to hell. They only associate homosexuals with the story of Sodom in the bible. In the city of Sodom, people were gang raping men, women and children. They were having sex with anyone or anything. This story has absolutely nothing to do with a gay relationship.

I had this thought pop in my mind; If my wife, miraculously tuned into a male overnight, would I still love her? Would I still hold her? The answer is: I love her more than my own life. I would adapt, mind, body and spirit for both of us. I know she would do exactly the same for me.

My ex-mother-in-law use to bar tend at a Gay bar. I would stop and see her at times after work. She would buy me a beer and I would talk to her and the other patrons. I never saw any horns popping out of foreheads or witnessed orgies on the floor. They were people just like me, trying to get through another day as best as possible. I really never gave their sexual preference much thought.

A gay person looking for "just sex," is no different than a straight person looking for "just sex." When a gay person is looking for love, it is the same as a straight person looking for love. Falling in love and commitments are the same also. Cheating in either relationship, hurts just as bad. A smile is a smile, a tear is a tear.

What parent could love their child less for being gay? Is the love of God, not greater than the love of a parent? Any love is wrong, if it isn't true. Any love is right, if it is.

I think i agree with you on this one. Gender is incidental when it comes to love. As for the sexual act, it's all biology. Did i make sense? LOL

Sex or love is just the same for a gay or a straight person, I fully agree.  The thing I simply can't undertsand is how this matter even comes into discussion, how is it ever questioned :-)  Thanks for a nice read!

I agree. People's sexual and emotional lives, whether gay or straight, are their own business so long as they involve consenting adults.

I don't care if people love someone of the same gender or someone of the other gender, just as long as they love someone.

Cheers!
