    God promise gays in Torah, bible, and Koran the Hell for them; and if you believe in any book of these or all of these books;
    .. you should know how God destroyed lot town; because they have been disobedient-gays- to God, and belied their messenger lot;
    and indeed God left evident as a lesson and a warning and a sign-- The place of lot town was where the Dead sea is now in Palestine- for who comes after; for a wisdom and for a folk who understand.
    and i wish all of you folks who understand.

        well , this argument went so far , I think it could be discussed further but not in this way in the 21st century .
        is it that who vote yes just feel sorry for the oppression gays or they are really looking for their rights?

        in the past people in the west wouldn't approve this because of religion and now most of them are freed from its control.

        religion ofcourse doesn't accept this but this is the politics forum and should be discussed far from religions.

        *does homosexual marriage affect the community values?
        *what are these values we are talking about?
        *aren't too many gays among us so productive and good?
        *can personal freedom and the community one contradicts ? if yes which do you choose?
        *can Mohammed provide a practical or workable experience , experiement or situation where formal gay relations may harm the community?

        sometimes I guess brains should be judged more than emotions.
        yet they overlap sometimes.

        I hope somebody get anything of I said
        don't worry I am not high lol , just thinking loudly

        peace

    Children are being taught that homosexuality is okay. This is not an attempt to bash homosexuals; simply put, children should not be taught about it.

    Homophobia is an overused term.  In most cases this is not the case.

      I disagree - education teaches tolerance. There is too much hate in the world without trying to alienate a minority. Homosexuality is perfectly OK - if someone is gay, they are gay; if they are not, they are not. Where is the problem?

      Did it disturb you to have sexual feelings for another man?

      Because it is OK really. We all understand. And you do not need to attack others because of it.

      You have no need to fear AIDS from another man unless you actually share bodily fluids. It is not like catching a cold. wink

    Mohamedhmm-

    You have 156 forum posts on Hubpages, and nearly all of them are about how bad gay sex is, how sick and wrong and ugly you think it is.

    Have you ever considered the depth and level of intolerance, bigotry, idiocy this shows in you? 

    The fact of the matter is that while there are people who find homosexuality to be deviant and wrong, sinful or immoral, I've seen more understanding of love itself, of charity, of honoring one's romantic partner, friends and relatives from the gay community than I ever have from straight folks.

    So while my gay friends are doing things like actually fighting for equality, running events and participating in charities which assist people worldwide on a variety of humanitarian causes, while my gay friends live their lives for love for love's sake, you just sit here and make yourself feel better getting all the ugly, hateful, nasty, unkind things you ever want to say off your chest - but know that you are seen as precisely that.  Unwaveringly hateful, uncaringly demeaning, and most likely harboring some desires for sexual involvement with men in your heart.

    Surely this is not really a debateable issue any longer. I mean I know many people are against same sex marriage and regard gays and lesbians as some sort of freaks or as diseased, but that's their opinion and they're welcome to hold those opinions just as long as they don't try to shove them down my throat or disrespect me just because I have a different opinion.
    There are so many really important issues that need to be tackled in the world today that I can't imagine why anyone would get upset about so really trivial a matter.
    Gays and lesbians are just like straights in everything except their choices of sexual partners, and so what?
    Let's pay more attention to poverty, rape, violence of all sorts, global warming and the rapid destruction of our environment. All of these things are far more dangerous to us than gays and lesbians could ever be, and far more likely to bring about the destruction of all we hold dear than some people's sexual preferences.
    As for the scare tactics of HIV/AIDS  - well in South Africa it is in any case a disease of heterosexuals in the main, and is being spread by ignorance, unprotected sexual contacts (heterosexual in the main), poverty, etc.
    Sorryn for the long post but I just can't believe that some people make an issue of same sex marriages and gay/lesbian rights. No-one is asking them to marry someone of the same sex, or to change their sexual preferences, after all.
    Live and let live, respect and love each other, don't let fear rule your life.

            However you still did not answer my question regarding the transmission. Let me number them for you, then you can respond accordingly.

            1) You made these statements: "And also if you have AIDS or HIV; no one around is safe, and anyone could catch it; so, anyone like to have that." and asked me, "so, if you have a friend working with you or living with you has such disease; you are safe to contact and be near from him/her? "

            I answered I would be safe. Now that I have explained and hopefully you understand how HIV is transmitted, why do you feel that knowing a gay person will put you at risk for HIV?

            2) I already agreed that HIV is a high risk disease in the gay community. However, being gay does not mean you will have HIV, and being straight does not mean you cannot contract it. There are several diseases that are more prominent among certain demographics. So why do you believe HIV has been formed out of a punishment for being gay?

            Ok. Now here are the rules. Answer these questions without any religious references. Be complete and as grammatically correct as possible.

                Hi Mohamad I'm back from work!

                Let me comment on your so-called "answers" to my questions.

                First of all. HIV is the virus that is contracted. Not AIDS. AIDS is the syndrome resulting from an HIV infected person who's T-cell count has dropped below 200 or has acquired an opportunistic infection.

                1) You more than likely cannot contract HIV from kissing someone who is positive. A person would have to drink several GALLONS of saliva in order for enough concentration of the virus to do anything. HIV is a virus, virus' are not very strong outside the human body. Any possible fluids left on a toilet seat would not have any of the active virus. It you touch a wound of someone who is HIV positive you would not get the virus unless you yourself has an open wound as well. In which case I don't know who would do that anyways, regardless of HIV status.  There is a risk spectrum for HIV transmission, all of the above are at the absolute lowest end of the spectrum (or not on there at all).

                2) Yes, I already told you that in the gay community HIV is prevalent. I did not "agree" with you that "being gay is not safe." That is just ridiculous. I am upset that you would put words in my mouth and say that I agree with such nonsense.

                You did not answer either of my questions. Which leads me to believe that you have no answers. And why is that?? BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Don't speak about HIV as if you know anything about the disease, it's transmission, who it effects or anything else. It is offensive to me to have someone try to lecture me about something that I know so much about. Not to mention everything you are saying is completely false.

        They were already destined for destruction for angering god and their breaches of hospitality, the offer to have sex with the angels was frankly an endnote.

    Another case of someone only reading what they want to read, and not seeing the big picture:

    1.)  HIV *causes* AIDS.

    2.)  The fact that the number of adults living with HIV who are WOMEN has risen from 1990 to now means one thing:  there is a rise in heterosexual transmission of the virus.

    Besides the data presented by the CDC, various AIDS groups and the like, let's look to the origins of the disease - monkeys.  Anal sex (the only penetration-type sex that constitutes 'gay sex') was not the originating cause of HIV.  Furthermore, given the facts that roughly half the cases of HIV/AIDS are women, I'd say that's pretty good evidence that straight folks are in just as much jeopardy as gay folks.

        Monkey bites.

        It has nothing to do with sex, at least not in the case of the initial transmissions or following transmissions from monkeys, but research has shown that the strain of virus that monkeys get is identical to HIV.

        With half of the infected population of HIV sufferers being women, I would say that there's just as much danger from heterosexual sex as there is from homosexual sex.  Get this through your head - everyone is at risk.  Absolutely everyone, regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation.

        At least the gay population considers HIV/AIDS education to be vitally important, it is a wide-spread issue that every gay man I know thinks about and protects themselves from.  Gay people are the only people I know who frequently get tested to make sure they DON'T have it.  Gay people are the only people I know who actively question their prospective sexual partners, sharing their test results and engaging in romantic liason with far more certainty than most straight couples do.

        Spiderpam/Mohamed- It is a urban legend (myth) that blacks(especially African American) + homosexual men= AIDS. There are countless studies that have proven that Aids is primarily present in Heterosexual men/women. I don't know except for Sufi there is hardly anybody else who is able to get the point across here. sad

          you are out of limit.
          you must follow the rules without any racial words or racial statement.
          just express your view.

          just try to approve your point like her; she approved her case with respect for any one could disagree with her; but. you didn't yet.
          so, if you think you are right; just approve what did you said.

            Mr.Mohamed,
            Sir on the contrary what I said was that there are such stereotypes which may prove to be harmful in respecting each human being irrespective of there race, color, gender and sexual orientation. The reason I resorted to that equation was based on the previous statement by you (where you tried that approach which I felt may help me to similarly convey the point) and also Spidarpam's earlier statement together may lead one to incorrect conclusions. Btw when you say "approve" (do you subconsciously associate with those who agree with your view)? I already tried to explain earlier too but I guess I am not capable enough hence I already had spent way more than what I bargained for in explaining my position. Anyway let us all learn to live and let live. smile

            PS: I removed the color fonts which aren't necessary for this conversation. I wish you the best and have a great day smile

    Mohamed -

    I didn't answer it because it was the same kind of third-hand passed along from half of a memory kind of information that perpetuates half truths.

    You don't answer most of the posts made to you in the threads you've made, you don't answer most of the points made to you, so I'm sure you'll forgive me for bypassing the unimportant side-talk.

    It seems clear Mohamedhmm came here expecting strong support for his homophobic attitude. Sadly for him, this has not been the case, as obviously the vast majority of us (thank goodness) are more tolerant and understanding. I for one have many gay friends (all male), and have no issues with this. Indeed, I count them amongst my my closest and most loyal friends, and as far as I am aware NONE of them have HIV or AIDS, but all are thoroughly decent people.

    By looking to all  facts and responds here; same sex for sex it shouldn't be at all exist as marriage.
    and if we let it goes; it will go far without control, and it would be more issues and problems more than we think, and the fire would catch every body without exception; because, some how we support it by our silence; and i do not like to see every body in this situation.

    Actually that's probably true. Gay males have higher rates of suicide, and lesbians have higher rates of depression. However, this is all because of people like mohamad, who can't get off their high horses and accept people for who they are.

    I would love to stay and point out in no uncertain terms why there is nothing wrong with being Gay, but it is after 03.50am here, so time I was asleep. The homophobe is clearly pretty ignorant about transmission of HIV and AIDS, so no doubt not worth debating with, as he clearly hasn't bothered to research the science behind his "pet" subject.

        you remind me by this joke:

        A couple, both 67 years old, went to a sex therapist's office. The doctor asked, "What can I do for you?" The man said, "Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?" The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed. The doctor examined them and then directed them to disrobe and go at it. When the couple finished, the doctor reexamined them and, upon completion, advised the couple, "There's nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse." He then charged them $32. This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have intercourse with no apparent problems other than the lack of vigor which is to be expected in 67 year-olds, get dressed, pay the doctor, and then leave. Finally after almost two months of this routine, the doctor asked, "Just exactly what are you trying to find out?" The old man said, "Oh, we're not trying to find out anything. She's married and we can't go to her house. I'm married, so we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $60. The Hilton charges $78. We do it here for $32 and I get $28 back from Medicaid.

        I am just want you to open your mind and think about it; and if you want to be a gay or support them; that's you.
        but I am sure; you would know that's i am right soon or later; but, i wish not so late.
        and i am with human rights but do not harm any.
        gays would harm anyone directly or indirectly; but there are no good results from this sexual relationship just like the dead sea; that's where they are belong...

      Sorry to burst your bubble there young lass but two women together isn't much of a turn on for most men, the same way as two men together isn't either.  Homophobic is a very overused term.  It's not the case in most cases.

    Gays is Wrong; because you will never got it right with them:
    and there is a joke about it:

    A girl goes into the doctor's office for a checkup. As she takes off her blouse, he notices a red "H" on her chest. "How did you get that mark on your chest?" asks the doctor. "Oh, my boyfriend went to Harvard and he's so proud of it that he never takes off his Harvard sweatshirt, even when we make love," she replies.

    A couple of days later, another girl comes in for a checkup. As she takes off her blouse, he notices a blue "Y" on her chest. "How did you get that mark on your chest?" asks the doctor. "Oh, my boyfriend went to Yale and he's so proud of it that he never takes off his Yale sweatshirt, even when we make love," she replies.

    A couple of days later, another girl comes in for a checkup. As she takes off her blouse, he notices a red "M" on her chest. "Do you have a boyfriend at Michigan?" asks the doctor. "No, but I have a girlfriend at Wisconsin. Why do you ask?"
