I voted yes just to **** off urban.

Embarrassingly bad wording for a "poll".

Your perception and comprehension of homosexuality borders on medieval. But don't worry, plenty more like you out there.

I accept that homosexuality is something you are born with (in all cases?) so it must be right to accept it for that reason.

However I am glad it hasn't affected my own family.

And I do not like the OTT camp behaviour of some gays.

So is that a no? You sound like a politician!

As for being born gay, that's a tough one. Until they discover the 'gay' gene, I will reserve judgement. I still feel that the media can influence a young persons life in more ways than what is currently understood.

The thing that grates on me are those people who just say that they are totally supportive of gay couples, just to fit in with what the media tells that this is what is now socially acceptable.

For the record, I am not totally supportive. It doesn't mean I hate gay people or would want to see than harmed. But I do not like how the rules now have to change to accommadate their life choice. By choice, I mean civil partnership vs marriage.

It doesn't matter what I hear, I will always believe that marriage by definition is the holy union between a man and woman.

Become a couple recognized by law, fine. But marriage is too well established to be changed.

Good points by GH and DL. I think that's all that anyone can ask - a reasoned outlook rather than a deeply pathetic back-row sniggering approach displayed by some "less able" people on this board.

I also cringe at unnecessary flaunting of sexuality in any guise, and don't dispute that the morals of the "active" gay fraternity are at best questionable. I'm also not sure if i support gay marriage, that does seem like an unnecessary need for equality.

......

OK translating the politicians answer is that I am slightly prejudiced. I accept there is no moral reason to be anti-gay but I'd rather it didn't exist.

As for being born gay it happens in the animal kingdom doesn't it and I thought there was a difference in the X Y chromosome make up. But I stand to be corrected on this.

I am uncomfortable with it myself but at the same time everyone is free to live their lives how they see fit (within the obvious boundaries of the law) so am not against it as such.
I do seriously dislike dramarama queens that cant keep it to themselves.

Conversely, the more gay you are the more women are around you.

Whatever people want to do behind closed door...fine. Get on with it, fill yer boots.
But when 2 people of the same sex want to raise a child be in surrogacy, adoption ,etc, that isn't right in my opinion. The child is in for a whole world of bullying.

Yep and that is the fault of his parents being gay not the bullies... after all who can blame the bullies if his parents are gay FFS! It's like a red rag to a bull. What do they expect?

Should be banned as bullies have enough work kicking the **** out of the small, overweight and/or black kids. They can't be expected to extend their repertoire of narrow minded hatred driven violence to kids with homosexuals for parents can they now?

Of course it is.

There are two reasons you would not answer yes:

1. You are a thick ****
2. You are a bigotted ****

Of course the two usually go hand in hand.

I reckon it is acceptable providing the participants keep it to themselves as people have always done in the past and also that no one tries to convert young people to that kind of behaviour. It should only be acceptable between people who have that kind of sexual predeliction already. They will be those who cannot help the way they feel sexually. The one thing we can do without is any kind of public announcements, demonstrations, or other attempts to bring it all to peoples' attention against their will.

Our great leader's efforts to allow homosexual marriage against the true meaning of the word "marriage" are I believe yet another misguided attempt to gain votes and I think he may eventually find out the big mistake for himself!

I like many don't have a problem with what consenting adults get up to with one another, wether they be male on male or female on female and any combination there of, i view it as a matter of personal choice, and what floats one persons boat does not necessarily float anothers, live and let live.

It's definitely not acceptable if some homo wants to hump me.

Well, on the other thread about gay marriage, someone else put up a question with 'correct wording' (in the questioner's eyes) to separate the individual from the behaviour. The wording was far from correct (He asked generically, but put the options involving the behaviour), but at the same time so damn correct to denote the questioner's bias, not much to do with any behaviour of any gays. Behaviour stereotyping was the excuse for offloading hatred. It happens.
