I am 16. And I think that homosexuality is something that nobody did arrange themselves to happen. It is a natural phenomenon, having been possessed by somebody. It is sort of like a load in the soul. If you neglect such, it will remain as a weigh in your system drastically affecting your life as you live. If you accept it and try to lift it up; then emotional, psychological and mostly spiritual enlightenment would surely be realized. I also believe that it can never be hidden for good. Perhaps, there would always be that point where everything kept would just explode and blow up! The more you deprive, the worse the craving gets. I myself is gay by the way. So, obviously, I have had focused on the realization of my gay traits even before I got 16. Actually, I am fortunate enough to gush that everything was never been that complicated. now i am living happily my life.

All of you people are fickle minded its really sad how the human society thinks these days.Same sex relations is a Sin in Gods eyes thats all that matters.God made woman for man and man for woman period. Being homosexual is a addiction for a feeling thats not normal but feels good. We has humans go by what the flesh wants and not whats right and wrong.How do you think God would ever accept this.Think about it.For Example.I have a Gay male cousin and when I see him with his male mate It does’nt even look normal He pretends to be a girl and he’s not,Same with Gay woman they some are prentending to a Man when their not.I am a girl and my Flesh have had thoughts of being with a woman but I know its not right it would’nt even feel right other than the feeling of Sex.Think about that.God bless

Why gay people have to be afraid and ashamed from who they really are ? Okay people who are against gay people,answer this : I have feelings for men,how come ??? I mean seriously I CANT CONTROL WHO I FALL IN LOVE WITH !!!! I just can’t,and I swear to god if anyone pull this “gay is a sickness” crap on me I will trash talk !
BUT , what I do know too is being gay is forbidden,if it was not we wouldn’t be talking here in the first place ! so gay people are afraid and ashamed because it’s forbidden ! We walk around like we’re steeling or something..and when we’re sitting with our family and friends we agree with them that gay people are ugly,well they are not,I am a good person,I am,I respect others,I pray,I don’t lie,I don’t hurt others,I am a good person,but here in arab world,if ur a good person and ur gay ? the good person part doesn`t count,they see just the gay ugliness part,while gay people are beautifull.I tried not to be gay many times,it didnt work and i tried very hard.I tried because I’m afraid of god,cuz life is not eternal,but still what about life ? I think people should be who they really are,and show themselves without shame,fear and guilt.this is just sad ! But one thing is SURE and nobody could take it away from me! If a friend of mine,a family member or even a stranger open up to me and told me he or she is gay,I WILL RESPECT THEM.I don´t treat people differently because of their religion,color,race,sexual orientation,gender,age,cuz we are the same.
Thank u all…

I’m not sure if the last comment that was made is with or against homosexuals. But, nobody has to live a double, some might have to because of their family in the Arab world. I don’t live a double, my arabic family do know that I’m gay, however its just not spoken about.

Hello everyone, I think that in my personal opinion, the separation and the tabu that is being “openly gay” in a muslim country, make some man go to europe or america marry european or american girls, and then they think that is ok to go and have a boyfriend and have sex outside the marriage, because their european or american wife will never find out and their family in their muslim country is going to think that he is a respectable men with wife and kids. The big mayority prefers to live a double life because they are cowards at the end of the day.

Homosexuality is not a mental disease or a social disease it’s a variation in human sexuality and have been prooved scientificly. People are ignorant and have a problem form homophobia and from negative religous and social critisicim. Homosexuality has nothing with raising children in a good and positivly oriented way, it’s more factor of genetic, hormonal during pragnency, social factor are not very important. 10 million child are being raised in the united states by gay/lesibian parents and have normal life. so why we don’t understand the problem and we take it from others point of vues. Homosexuality has nothing with prostitution, I can be homosexual and prostitute and I can be homosexual and love one person in all my life, I can alsow be heterosexual and prositute. Don’t have limits in your brain and don’t be a victim to your homophobia because it’s the disease, homophobia is certain kind of phobias and should be treated, it can lead to more resistant anxiety disorders like HOCD( homosexual obssesive complsive disorders) or panic attack, or to GAD (general anxiety disorder) if we have a tendency to these disease. I am expert in clinical psychology and have made a lot of research in sexual orientation and social interaction.

who ever says that homosexuality is disgusting and its a disease, i feel sorry for him/her. homosexuality is not wrong its part of nature, like there’s different races like African, Chinese, etc, there is also bi’s, gays, & lesbians. there’s different eye colors to human beings, green, blue, brown and so is sexual orientation.

there is so much evidence, scientific evidence that homosexuality is natural, but even when proofs as such that are 100% true represented to people like you, you choose to be ignorant, ignorance is the human beings greatest enemy, greater than the Satan.

i hope GOD heals the minds and souls of people like you Butterfly.

Actually, homosexuality does exist in the natural, non-human, world. There are many documented cases.

Not every living being is required for the continuation of life. In fact, one could easily argue that 100% reproduction is unsustainable. So, you might say that childless people are an absolute requirement for sustainability and for a healthy planet.

The problem with you is that you do not want to admit that you are not normal, you need help !!! yes you are ill !!! that is the truth and you should admit it and face it.
You can not say that you want your right for being against nature, for being not normal, but you can say we want help, then we can understand.
If being homosexual is not wrong,then how is life can continue ??? Tell me can two of same kind give new life ??
Please at least do not make it easy for other persons to be not normal because you can not admit, even to yourself, that you are ill and need help.
That is my opinion, I hope you will understand it.
May God help you
