thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind:it is abomination.Leviticus ch:18 v:22
for whosoever shall commit any of these abominations,even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.Leviticus ch:18 v:29
WE COULD DO JUST THAT PUT THEM ALL IN I DON'T KNOW A CAMP,OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!!!!

Sorry, but the man who molested me at the age of 6 was a straight married bible thumping alcoholic! Gay, straight, whatever - as long as your a good person, you are ok in my book. And congratulations to Ditto who is out of the closet and living her life HAPPILY!

Your story is sad, and not true. Over 95% of child molesters are heterosexual. Why is that never brought up by you a55holes? Why don't you turn your militant hatred on people like yourselves, instead of passive homos? Pick on someone with your own lifestyle, and leave everyone else alone, and better off.

Wow, looks like someone got up on the homophobe side of life. Me thinks perhaps something happened in our past to make us feel this way? I know quite a few gay and lesbian people, and none of them come accross as sexual deviants. As a matter of fact preference has nothing to do with sex at all. It is what a person is as a whole. People do not just turn preference off and on like a light switch. We are what we are from birth, and the sooner everyone accepts this and just try to get along with everyone reguardless the better.The world is ready to self destruct. Aren't there more important things to vent over than this ?

you obviously did not know that Darwin turned Christian prior to his death. To quote Darwin "after all the experiments that I have performed in evolutionary studies, I can only conclude that evolution is ONLY A THEROY".

xnathanxmx, just stating the scientific facts! Sure you may have a gay twin, but you missed the point. You both were not BORN that way. And, you are NOT in true love, you are experiencing nothing more that a "sexually challanged infatuation". And yes, even thought I respect your feelings (choice) gay love IS perverse as the Lord did not intend it (nor design man to be with man) or vise versa. May you find your way out of this mess if you so desire.
if that is not love then I have no idea what is. I have yet to find another guy or girl who can make me feel the same way.
