Who gives a rats a55 about this ugly chicks sexual preferences. All homosexuals are deviant perverts who want to further thier sick ways by trying to make us think that sodomy is ok.

Well, if you like a nal sex so much give it a try but don't tell me I have to like it, and keep my morally straight kids away from you.

Ever notice that most of the child molesters in prison always like the same sex also..........instead of prison......cut off thier genitalia, cook it in olive oil, and make them eat it. Then duct tape thier mouths shut and let them gag to death on thier own vomit.

They force our kids in school to learn about homosexuality, then tell the parents about it after they do it.

It is amazing that this gay craze, and that is all it is, just like goth, a craze, has been expanding more in the schools as they down play the morality of it.

I do disagree with your comment about frying the genitalia in olive oil......too costly!! Just boil in in salty water for ten minutes.

Charat 10-08-2008

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 ?

patsnnottat 10-08-2008

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.

tonyaat 10-08-2008

i just dont get how small minded people are..it takes alot of courage for a teen to admit to being gay and then to be critized by people that are close minded. like it or not people gay straight black and white we are all put here on earth to live together. you dont have to accept it or do it but that does not give you the right to judge anyone else. this is why are teenage suicide rate is so high. besides people it has been proven by science that being homosexual is a gene you are born with not something you are taught.

toyedmaniaat 10-08-2008

sorry Tonya, science at one point "thought" the gene theroy to be correct. But.. The gay population must understand that there is a way out of this life style and not to accept the lies of anyone that tells you that you are BORN that way (especially the lies from Hollywood). That is a flat out LIE. Here's proof, a recent medical study was preformed and it concluded that when twins are born, they have yet to have an instance where BOTH siblings end up gay. If one turns gay, then why does the other not turn gay? Well, they looked into the recessive gene theory but that proved fruitless in it's conclusive findings. Thus, it was determined that this psychological illness is picked up thru one's environment. However, not all medical society agrees. They are pushing for further proof on an otherwise washed out study prior to this info is appropriately updated in JAMA.

toyedmania: Um I am a twin and we are both gay we have 2 older brothers who are straight. At the age of 11 my brother was living at our home in Grand Junction Colorado with my mom and I was living with my uncle in Denver that lasted until I was 14 years old. I knew by the age of 7 however that I liked guys after I fell in love with my best friend that has remained until now.
Don't you dare tell me my love is perverse I have never thought of another guy in the same way I stay by his side and hide how I truly feel because a world without him would be unbareable.I find it hard at times to see him with girls but when he smiles I get a sense of joy what makes me truly happy is his happiness
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.

Sex is not Love

Danielat 10-08-2008

It does'nt matter if your born gay or decide to turn gay. The serious thing is that we as a society must not accept sin of any type as a normal way of life. No individual should ever stop resisting sin even if they fall to the temptation. Gay or straight we all sin and we all must be sorry for that sin. Our country, society, and civilization will crumble, and be replaced, if we continue to accept sin as normal and permissive. It doesn't matter if you don't believe in God, non-believers are still subject to the laws that He has imposed on all flesh men on this earth. No one can escape his laws or judgement, It is not our earth or even our souls, It all belongs to him. He just gives us enough freedom to save or destroy ourselves through our own actions, and chosen beliefs.
