homosexuals=normal people , they are exactly the same as anyone of us ,heterosexuals,they have feelings they have their own thoughts and mindsets they are just like anyone of us but why do people feel discrimination towards them. in the past having them coming out of the closet was a big whoha and nono that everyone will hate them even their family but today in the 21st century almost every homosexuals have admitted that they are one even some societies have accepted it but why cant some people accept it example singapore where gay marriage is not legalised even when there are so many of them walking in the streets.
having a best friend who is a lesbian made me realised that they are just as normal as we all are just that they are attracted to the same sex gender. sometimes when i am just hanging out with her i do get the look from passer-bys proabably thinking if she was a he or are they really a lesbian couple which i have once over heard a group of boys asking among themselves but it doesnt matter to me because what really matters is our friendship and that i know that other than the fact that she like a she, she is a wonderful friend!
people may be starting to open up to this “whole new concept” but there is probably still a long way to go before everyone can accept it wholeheartedly.
Anyone has the right to be what they want to be, everyone is free to choose how to live and we people should never judge others based on our own choices.
I think it’s wrong for people to judge or to ostracize them, but in all honesty, I think it is beautiful but deep down I don’t. To me, it seems more like a gender identity crisis. Perhaps part spiritual, part psychological.
Why would the big man not allow a man and a man procreate if sex was meant to be between them? – Nature!
I applaud your personal voice on this matter.

Deep deep. But I do wonder when will they accept them wholeheartedly.

This is something close and true to my heart, I have tons of friends who are gay, and they are no different from any f us. In fact, do you know that all of us are born bisexual. And, when homosexuals make out in public, they may be convicted but yet when heterosexuals make out in public they do not receive the same treatment,. this is outright unjust. and i do not see that this will resolve anytime soon.

I say, perhaps we should learn how to embrace and accept them for whoever they are. Even if you do not condone the act, you should and should be able to love them as a person just as equal as ourselves.
Many people always overreact to it because they are not accustomed to it. But, looking at the way society shrug off such acts, makes me consider why they have not disdained many other unethical and outright immoral acts. We SELECT what we want to go against to suit ourselves, many times forgetting that we shun other distasteful ones. How about sexual acts to the self? Or mulitple sex partners (promiscuity)? Marital rape? Why aren’t these being shunned but accepted?
Society may be open minded, but somewhat unjustifiably biased. Open your hearts instead!

I have lots of gay friends as well and some do share with me their exploits and stuffs. I definitely have nothing against them but maybe because they are my friends.
I agree that there are definitely more gay couples coming out into our society but i feel to legalised it would take sometime.

Hello, i believe that is perfectly fine to be gay. It’s a choice of different lifestyles and their strength and boldness to embrace what is not set as a social norm is something to be impressed about. Being who you really are, fighting for who you want to be, th pursuit of your own happiness is really up to us.
However, in Singapore context, the legalisation would still be far off and the consideration of the events that is to come would be highly crippling to some

I disagree. Though I have not made a through research on this matter, I must point out humbly that a lot of people would be affected, and not just the homosexuals, when such things occur.
Consider the parents that raised that up painstalkingly. Consider their children in the future (especially in the case where homosexuals adopt children). One must first understand that many parties are involved when such matters occur, and it cannot be simply swept away as a ‘it’s my life, my choice’ thing.

I feel like I’ve commented on something similar before.
Anyway, antigay sentiments probably stemmed from the time when the church controlled the government(s) and Christian values were law. Christianity in the old days were knows to aggressively push their agendas and teachings, and for some reason these sentiments carried on to this day.
Now we’re all able to make choices based on rationality and not necessarily according to what we think God wants. If that’s the case, then gay people should be free to express their love. If it feels natural to them, it’s probably because it is. So why stop it?
