Runner said...What people practising the unhealthy act of sodomy want is society and ulimately God's approval. Dear Runner, the mlae g spot is in the anus! I wonder why God placed it there. Just as many heterosexuals enjoy this part of their anatomy in sex as homosexuals do. Nothing unhealthy about it!

Homophobic comments stem from what people believe is 'normal'.

Just to remind you all, humanity sacrificed virgins at the stake centuries ago; they discriminated against Jews during the second world war and even in Australia disallowed Aboriginals to vote.
But all these have changed.... why... because we evolve.

Many now keep claiming gay marriages or civil unions are wrong because homosexuality is wrong. Our Government and indeed the UN and an overwhelming majority of countries in the world say homosexuality is FINE and homosexuals should not be discriminated against. Race, Sex, Religious orientation or sexual orientation - basic rights.

So please stop using the argument it is wrong - because you actually are not part of the majority of this planet we live on and are believing something against what this government believes.

So seeing as though our government has accepted homosexuality as being right, why are you still discriminating? As far as I am concerned, whether you believe in homosexuality or not should not be a question - you should. Your Government says you should. I'd like to see you take it up with the government to say homosexuality is wrong.

The main issue regardless of homosexual marriage or civil union or whatever, is that of a lack of acceptance and tolerance. People need to realise we need to be tolerant of those around us. Based on sex, religious preference or sexual orientation, these are all perfectly legal aspects of a person and we need to accept that.

Having just come back from Holland, it humbled me that the leadership of a country to take a stance against homophobia has seen such an acceptance and tolerance of all people, not just of sexual orientation, but race.

Maybe those who still find it hard to just accept people for who they are should go overseas, before being blinded by leadership that doesn't take a hard enough stance against homophobic attitudes.

The great thing is, homosexuals will have their day, and I can't wait to kiss my husband right in front of them when they can't do anything about it.
