My time on the Hub pages has been short but some topics really intrigue me. The tendency of mine to seek out odd opinions and weird behaviors has led me into confrontations with the Gay community on the Hubs. For the most part, gays seem to be friendly as long as you agree with them or at least walk softly around them. I have noticed an explosive side when they defend their positions. On more than one occasion they've even suggested I was gay because I didn't agree with their lifestyle. Since my son has asked me not to do something because,"That's gay Dad." I became worried that I might present myself as gay to the people around me. When we bought our new car our son told us it was gay. How is a car gay? How does a car come out of the closet and declare itself gay? I never knew cars had genders not to mention being gender challenged.

I decided to investigate the possibility that I might be , gay? First I sat down and thought long and hard had I ever thought a man any man was attractive. The answer flashed before my eyes it screamed," No that would be gay!" I retired to the thinking room to give this a fair chance and again the answer "No!" came to me again. So I thought this is too broad a question lets look at a bunch of small questions. These were some of my small questions:

1. Have men ever appealed to you? A: Not really.

2. Would you date a man? A: No, that would be gay.

3. How do you feel in changing rooms with other men? A: Uncomfortable.

4. Have you ever had a strong urge to hold another mans hand? A: Thats really creepy.

5. Do you like Discos? A; Not if its men only.

After this short series of questions I realized two things, my sons an idiot and I'm grossed out by the thought of men friends. Considering I've been married 33yrs. and I still like chasing my wife around the house, I must be straight.

Now I have wasted allot of time proving to myself something I already knew. I wondered why so many men couldn't figure out the correct gender configuration. I always knew what women looked like and the differences were wonderful and obvious. Why were so many so wrong?

The next issue that came to me was, "Are men really gay?" This was a tricky question because who knows what makes someone do what they do. I couldn't imagine a Mom and Dad looking down at their new baby boy and saying ," I hope he's Gay?" This meant that something happened to cause this problem. Since kids don't know much about gender, other than there's two of them. This memory made me think back and it was a common belief among 5th grade philosophers that girls are weird. In fact to be called a girl was not good and no one purposely acted like a girl because that would have led to a series of insults: sissy, pansy, queer, and yes homo. I don't remember why we said those things but I know if we had known what they meant we would have been horrified. That response wouldn't have been that odd considering we thought kissing a girl was gross and a sure way to get a bad case of cuties.

As we got older calling someone a homo was more of a joke than anything. I have heard that boys with overbearing Moms were more prone to be gay. That still didn't explain why a guy would jump the fence and run the wrong way. By the time I was a teen I was totally mesmerized by the female form. I was locked into three tracks food,sports and girls and not always in that order but mostly. The thought of gay men never crossed my mind not even remotely. As my Mom noticed my attraction the lessons in morality came hard and fast. I never really payed attention to what was a sin and what wasn't, but when I found what adultery included I was really disappointed. There it was right there God said don't do it! Don't even think about it! I could see a problem on the horizon.

When I found out that having a girl friend meant you were going to be reminded about being good on every date, not to mention her fathers implied threats. I knew I was doomed to good behavior and dates ending with a token kiss and "I had a really nice time." It was so hard ! I was ready to go...........home. Well since then I realized that some guys had less restraint than I did. They were surely driven to madness or they were driven to someone else that felt the way they did. My first thought about this gay behavior was that they wanted sex and they weren't waiting for a yes. The more they indulged this behavior the easier it was to continue until they decided I'm in a good place here I'll stay here. I have come to believe that homosexuality is another form of a sex addition, abnormal sex or perversion. Lets face it men have a tendency towards promiscuity and if men are willing partners there's no judgement just weird sex.

Rationalizing a behavior in a human mind can be a very powerful force. It can leap morality in a single bound. You can know somethings wrong but you can also convince yourself its ok. You can indulge so much that you can bypass your conscious and start to believe that no one really understands how it is. This can lead to very defensive behavior, resulting in someone attacking the person who causes them guilt. Gay men for the most part are very intelligent and they know the religious arguments against their behavior, in fact they know they're wrong in the eyes of God.

They have a dilemma they want to be accepted for who they are with the same rights and privileges as the heterosexual community. Without this acceptance they can't merge into sociaty and break religious barriers that hold them back. The only choice is to get the government to order their inclusion opening the doors to lawsuits that would kick the doors down on every church in the country. I believe if this happened we would seriously be looking at a new interpretation of the Bible to remove the moral restrictions so clearly there.

In conclusion if my fear of this assault on Christianity and the Bible is what makes me a homophobe, so be it, I'm a homophobe. I don't want something so beautiful as the Bible tarnished by sin, any sin, from any direction. I implore the people who live this lifestyle to rethink how they got here and repent for the love of God and our Savior. This lifestyle can be overcome the only thing holding you back is you. If you can't , it's ok but please don't damage religion in America by pursuing this course of action. God Bless You All.

Please note this isn't a plea to just gay men its a plea to the gay lifestyle.
