Question of the Week: How Do You Have Sex With the Same Sex, and is it Good to Do That?
I regularly run workshops for high school students. At every session I collect and answer anonymous questions, submitted on slips of paper.
This week's question:
How do you have sex with the same sex, and is it good to do that?
Here's the answer:
There is nothing wrong with having sex with someone of the same gender, as long as both partners are comfortable with the situation. There are many ways that people can be sexual with a partner. This is true whether someone is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or straight.
Kissing, penetration, mutual masturbation, oral sex, massage, body rubbing, fantasy, and using sex toys are just some of the ways that people of the same gender have sex together.
Remember, it is very important to practice safer sex. That means using a condom for oral, anal, and vaginal sex, and a dental dam for oral sex performed on a woman, or any oral / anal contact.


what the hell are you nuts what the hell are you feeding these readers are you ok in the head
There IS something wrong with same sex if you are accepting the Christian beliefs in Jesus Christ. There are also additional moral and medical reasons in some instances that demonstrate that the concept of same sex, sex acts are wrong in that they are unhealthy and unnatural. If you are going to tell it, tell it all!
what is this hunter i dont question your religon and i think it only good when there both love each ofher and if it against good to be gay i would rather die then be force bye people like you to be straight and if it is aginst god why have some animals been seen having sex huu anser me that
Uh, hunter, jeanmiriam, that’s unbelievably cruel and homophobic… It’s not like it’s a choice to be gay, I am gay, and I should have the right to get some information on this crap without having religion shoved down my throat. Please just leave us alone.
i dont want to do sex with same gender but some one is injsisting me to do sex and i also like him. now what to do? should i do sex with him? i m also male and 19 years old.

Well, this is a response to hunters question. Well, I am a christian. I heard it is wrong etc. etc. I’m just curious. Why would I be born gay? I do not know if I am bisexual. But, I use to like girls when I was 12 or so. But, the gayness grew bigger then my hetro side. Which means I might be Bisexual. I am not fully sure yet. Anyways, I am christian and God loves us all. I don’t think he would put people like us on this planet if he did not want them. My older brother recently became a “Hard-core” Christian. So I never asked him if he thinks Gay people go against Christianity. I was raised a christian and I still am. Many teenagers have become atheist. I have seen it and most teenagers I talk to are Atheists. I still go about the Christian belief. I was born this way, I use to hate it now I do not really care. I haven’t come out yet, but I do not wish I was different anymore. I am just worried about the future and what I am going to do. God bless.
it doesnt matter what u r b cuz u r what u r and nobody not even u can change that. im bisexuel, so i should know.
its sick and disgusting to “have sex” with the same sex. how is that even possible. its completely not ok and gross gross gross
Jennifer: that is also homophobic. If you are not comfortable with same-sex relationships or sex, then you should leave these pages and lookup ‘how to have sex with the opposite sex’, instead.
Please, people – Homophobia is just as bad as racism. Take it elsewhere.
i don’t understan why someone would willing chose to be gay or lesbian. we are persecuted and are victims of hate crimes. many of us are rejected by our families and friends. many turn away from religion, which should be a place to turn to for comfort, God loves everyone! so why would we chose to let all of this happen to us? we don’t, we just accept reality that people are stupid and hateful.
and if you don’t like the topics and don’t accept the lifestyle of gays and lesbians then why are you reading the topics on a bisexual, gay, or lesbian site? you must me curious? right…?
If you’re so friggin’ straight why the hell are you reading arrticles about being gay…
Curiosity stoned the Christian
okay so all the “straight” people that feel you need to bash us.. what is the purpose of looking up these feeds if you think it is soo gross. do you shove your jesus **** down the homeless peoples throat because they have no money because they spent it all on crack? god does not approve of mind altering drugs either… and if you love jesus so much try reading the damn bible. it says that the men and woman lusted towards each other and he allowed it. he didnt banish them to hell..he just didnt approve. so go look up straight sex and ill make sure me and all the other GLBT remain mature and dont go leave comments about how nasty it is or how all the little nympho sluts will get knocked up. we have the right to know this information. thanks.
gay bashing is’nt cool.
@ All religious bigots:
Thank god we live in a country with “separation of church and state” and thus the politicians are unbiased. Thank god those who are religious/christian take their deity’s mandate for kindness seriously.
Oh, wait, KKKristian prejudices are everywhere–from politics to things my family says to me.
If you don’t like gay people, don’t date one. Believe it or not, some people aren’t Christians–some don’t even believe in a god! Your religious beliefs are just part of the vast cesspool of beliefs.
Stop inflicting your beliefs on people.
There is not a single non-religious argument against homosexuality.
Why are all these psychotic Religious Reich fundies here? Can’t queer teens get some respite from their continuous onslaught?
Oh, wait, I guess we can’t because we don’t fit your narrow model of how people should be.
Why does it bother you so much what we do in the PRIVACY of our bedroom? Are you seriously that unsatisfied with what you do?!
Ummm….why is no one watching these comments being posted? I would think that whomever is running this site would be on the look out for religeous bigots. As if the poor kid reading this doesnt have enough to worry about, now he or she gets to read bout how they are hell bound for experiancing the above said topic. Im rather dissappointed in you people…..
Hi Azreal,
Thanks for posting! I do read every comment, and I have grappled over whether or not to leave the hostile ones. In the end, in the interest of free expression, I decided to let these ones sit. As a result we have had some positive rebuttals. But I too, am conflicted about it!
All the best,
Ellen
Gay Teens Guide
I totally agree with Lesbiangirl. Why would us gay people choose to be gay? All the crap we take and the hate. It is so sad how ignorant people can be. It isn’t their choice, so they should just leave us alone. I went through ALOT when I came out. I am a Christian even though I am gay. But I don’t understand why, just because I’m gay, I have to choose my faith or love. It’s just wrong. I have been with a certain girl for over a year and I am very happy. You can’t control who you fall in love with. You just can’t. So, all the gays out there, don’t think there is something wrong with you. There is NOTHING wrong. All you can do is accept yourself. I hope everyone finds who they are and how to deal with it. Best of wishes!
I am probably bi but I lean more to the “I like the opposite sex side” but saying that I don’t mind the same sex what do people have against us?
Why are you all worried about choosing to be gay. I chose to be. I dont care about the rebuttals or the hate coming from these people. My happiness is important to me, I can do what i like, and if that bothers you, then you aren’t worth my time to know. Its funny how only the major religions on this planet hate homosexuals, while all the smaller ones that are older and more wise accept all people, regardless. It’s sad to see what the world has become, but this is better than what it used to be. True there are still hate crimes, but people can be openly gay and people are okay with it.
I have two questions for the people here writing all these nasty comments
1) Why are you on here? I hate to break it to you, but this is how being gay starts sometimes, reading in places like this, you are curious, so quit hating yourself and denying it, and just become more educated instead of attacking those who use this site for good reasons.
2)Explain to me why being gay is bad without religion. The only other thing i can think of is that it stops genetics and the family cant carry on, natural selection, but if you used that argument, then your religious beliefs would be conflicting with it.
Please, just stop all the hate, its sickening.
Love is love.
Grow the **** up.
hey guys
i just want to say in response to all these comments about sexuality vs religion,
i really love jesus and i love women.
and i really beleive that jesus loves me. it can be really hard for a gay christian teen to accept themselves, or find where they stand with scripture. especially if your church is anti-gay.
but personally i find that the best way of discerning god’s plans for you, is to ask him
i’m just saying that for anyone who truly loves god and feels they are gay, don’t dispair- you’re not alone! don’t be disallusioned by extreme fundamentalists telling you that there’s something wrong with you.
sorry if this doesn’t apply to you, but i felt i ought to comment for the sake of those whom it does.
hope that made some sense to somebody
Omg thank you hannah for that. I am gay and I love god and I was always so worried that I could never be forgeven, but why should I be? I love my girlfriend and we are both christians in a hugely anti-gay community. I’m so glad to feel a little less alone.
I am a film student working on a fictional plot involving a gay teen from a small town so that is why I am reading these posts. I am very surprised at the religious people against the GLBT community leaving negative comments. Isn’t it best to leave judgment up to God? Speaking of God’s judgment, the basis for Christianity condemning homosexuality is the Bible story of Sodom and Gomorrah. If Christians would do their own research outside of what they hear at home and in church, they might gain a little perspective on the world and their beliefs.
The brief story of Sodom and Gomorrah: Abraham is a Biblical leader of a nomadic tribe. His son Lot decides to leave the nomadic life and move his family to a city named Sodom, a settlement that has a sister city a few miles away named Gomorrah. Two angels come to Abraham and tell him that the cities are corrupt and God is going to destroy them. Abraham pleads with God to save the good people, particularly his son, Lot. Before he destroys it, God sends the two angels to count up the good men of Sodom and Gomorrah. They walk through the streets of Sodom and the only good man, Lot, takes them in for the night. The townspeople demand Lot hand over the angels so they can do harm to the angels; instead Lot offers his two daughters, but the town wants the angels. God rains down “fire and brimstone” destroying the cities and only Lot and his daughters escape.
First, consider that the original Hebrew text does not specify what harm the townspeople want to do to angels. I think it is more likely they want to beat them or kill them, not rape them. You decide how corrupt is Lot to offer his daughters in any scenario.
Second, think about the Hebrew words for Sodom and Gomorrah, Sedom and Amora. Sedom means burnt and Amora means buried or submerged. Neither means gay, homosexual, or rape.
Lastly, look at the location of Sodom and Gomorrah. The land of the Bible is in the Middle East, then and now home to huge oil, natural gas and sulfur deposits. The Middle Eastern cities of yesterday and today are built on land that is right above highly flammable material and prone to earthquakes. It is very likely that an earthquake opened up the earth’s surface, exposing the natural gas and any spark from a hearth or fireplace started an immense fire, incinerating the entire area. Archaeologists have evidence that Gomorrah was consumed by fire, but Sodom was only partially burnt. Did the people of Sodom witness the natural destruction of Gomorrah and flee before their city was totally burnt? Incidentally, the Hebrew for the word brimstone refers to sulfur, which would have been released during a natural gas fire.
My point is that I know many GLBT teens loose family and friends because the general belief is that being gay is wrong, and they use the Bible as their example. Well, I think the story of Sodom and Gomorrah says nothing about homosexual activity, much less that it is wrong. If God didn’t want the world to have variety, then why is there the story of the tower of Babel, where God gives everyone a different language? That story shows me that God demands different, so you haven’t lost Him.
If you’re here, you’re probably gay, so don’t bother leaving homophobic comments to try and convice yourself your not. I don’t go to a straight site and bash your lifestyle, so please don’t come here to bash me.
What a lovely idea! I have the same thought as you, Ellen. I believe that you are a perfect mother, woman, guider and wife. I hope that you will continue your duty.
What is wrong with you people?
If your christians, then why would God even create gay/lesbian, or bi people? Do you think they actually choose to be this? I am a catholic, and yes I believe in god, but everyone is who they are and god loves everyone, and like some other people are saying, if you have a problem with gay or bi people or websites why even read these?!
Being gay or bi is normal to. You can’t change these people, and they can’t change themselves no matter how hard they try. Homophobia is exactly like racism. Hey you know what, there are gay, bi, and straight people living on earth. Snap back to reality people!
Theres nothing wrong with this. Being gay/lesbian or bi, is exactly like being straight. Its nromal for them and it should be normal to you. If its a crime, then think of the obvious people.
I may be straight, but I can get along with anyone whos gay, or bi, or straight like me.
Seriously, no ones perfect and neither are you. Don’t freaking judge people by their orientations, you judge someone by their personality or how they treat people.
And haven’t you ever herd of the saying ‘if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all’, man adults say that all the time to their children,and yet look at this, even the adults say *** that isn’t nice, on websites etc. If you think its wrong why even read or go to the website or listen?
if being gay was a choice i would have given it up the min. the thought came in my mind but fact is i can’t and now i don’t want to. u c i live in a small town in mississippi and my family always took me to church and i do believe that jesus died and rose and that god is real. i used to be homophobic and dislike gays but god has a sense of humor. i’m gay. and believe me it is hard. i’m still in the closet because i don’t want to disappoint those i love meaning that i’m very lonely for some1 to open up to, i feel like i don’t belong, and i have very few friends. i would never wish this on any1 but it is who i am and i can not change. in a few years i’ll come out to my family but for now this is my life try a day in my shoes and u will no it is not a choice. now i’ve got church tomorrow so good night all.
Look all u fighting just calm down dont keep insulting each other. I my self think its homosexuality is wrong but both of u have a point all who approve it r rite when u say that the word of God should not b shoved down ur throats but at least hear us b cuz people like me are open to u even if we are opposed to homosexuality and u no wat Ellen is being a little foward I dont Know why she tellin u all this junk we all have our opinions
What the crap does it matter wether somthing says to do and what not to do in the majic book of fairy tales.As long as you not being all scanky about it,it’s no ones buisness who you have sex with.It should’nt feel uncomfortable either.As long as its not date rape,its ok

Hunter trolled all of you, he wanted to get everybody raged up and you took it hook, line and sinker.
It’s trolling 101: Post an anti-gay religious message and watch people flip out.
Come on gays, you know the bible and all other religious ‘facts’ are fictional. Just ignore them, one of my housemates is gay and he just laughs in their face.
And having sex with te same gender is easy. My friend describes gay sex as ‘intense’ with a lot of grunting, and i’ve seen enough lesbian sex on the internet to know that it’s very possible
just because you dont agree with the article doesnt mean that you are homophobic. people have the right to think whatever they freakin want to. if you aprove of homo acts..thats your right to approve of it..if I on the other hand do not aaprove of it that makes ME the homophob??? so what are you..the straightaphobic??
please, grow up, just because someone thinks different from you doesnt mean they are afraid of you..it just means THEY THINK DIFFERENT FROM YOU. and yes this is America…so long live that God given right to have your own opinion on subjects.
what i looked this up because i did ot know how gay people have sex and all of the fights that are going on between christians and gay poeple just need to stop because telling them that they are giong to go to hell does not help any thing
im like you, Deyna, although im not Christian but i still believe in God and that Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. I also have very few friends and am in the closet. My life is hard to live and it hurts to keep living like this. Im afraid to come out because of all the homophobic comments, attitudes and behaviours in the world. But anyways onto my other point, how on earth can someone ‘choose to be gay’. It’s genetically impossible for any straight person to just wake up one day and say “hey, i think im gonna spend the rest of my life gay” (knowing that they would face a lifetime of judgment and hate), and somehow alter their DNA to become attracted to someone of the same sex. It’s just impossible, and i have no idea why some people think gays/lesbians/bi chose to be that way. I guess straight people just dont understand us
I’m not gay (or lesbian) and I don’t have a problem with any of them. I’m also an Atheist. Also, isn’t God (if he exists) suppose to love everyone? If then, wouldn’t what your saying be against God?? Besides, why the heck would you visit this site if you hate gay people so much??? I’m only here because I was curious (and bored). Do you people have xenophobia or something? If so, then GO GET SOME HELP AND LEAVE THE POOR PEOPLE ALONE
Hello people…. I am not absolutely sure about if i am gay, but i think i am and my family is almost totally against it so im scared to come out to them. I have only come out to one person and that is my ex-girlfriend. I told her that i have feelings for my best friend and i think he MAY be gay also… im just not sure about anything…. AND TO YOU STUPID SELF RIGHTEOUS CHRISTIAN FREAKS….. Guess what, my ex-girlfriend is like total little christian girl from a total non gay family, and she APPROVES.
ok to all the christians out there who are saying the bible says that being gay is agianst the bible, well i did some research and would like you to know some of the other things your precious bible says.
If it is discovered that a bride is not a virgin, the Bible demands that she be executed by stoning immediately.
Deuteronomy 22:13-21
If a married person has sex with someone else’s husband or wife, the Bible commands that both adulterers be stoned to death. Deuteronomy 22:22
Divorce is strictly forbidden in both Testaments, as is remarriage of anyone who has been divorced. Mark 10:1-12
The Bible forbids a married couple from having sexual intercourse during a woman’s period. If they disobey, both shall be executed.Leviticus 18:19
If a man dies childless, his widow is ordered by biblical law to have intercourse with each of his brothers in turn until she bears her deceased husband a male heir. Mark 12:18-27
If a man gets into a fight with another man and his wife seeks to rescue her husband by grabbing the enemy’s genitals, her hand shall be cut off and no pity shall be shown her. Deuteronomy 25:11-12
I understand this is a very touchy subject and everyone has the right to their opinion. My personal belief is that God created woman for man to be a help mate and that is what the bible says. I would not personally condemn anyone for their choices nor would I expect anyone to condemn me for mine. I am not gay and am proudly and happily married to a wonderful man for 23 years. In the end I believe our creator will decide everything so I choose to live as he commands. God bless everyone…he loves us all!
I think being gay is fine!!! I’m bisexual, and I am a LITTLE attracted to girls, only my friends though. It’s FINE!!!!! I don’t believe in god, but not for THAT reason.
To all religious haters
I know I’m going to “hell”.
I’ll love every minute of my fiery toomb away from all of you evangelical freaks.
Much love to ya
what are the sings of being gay (this is just a questing) i don’t no if i.m gay but i think girls are really cute and (other sexes) are sexy so does that mean i.m bi?
OKAY To everyone here, arguing about religion vs sexuality and vice versa is crazy! They’re two entirely different things. I myself am an Atheist, I think believing in God is ridiculous and silly – to me, at least, there is no such thing. But I respect those who are religious. And I am a proud bisexual, but, like I said, sexual orientation and religion are two separate things.
The people who say that you’re going to hell, they’re morons. To all those “homophobics” on this site – you wouldn’t be here if you weren’t interested in GLBT stuff – so that makes you GLBT or at least GLBT curious!
Anyways, good luck to my fellow GLBT peoples!!!
Oh, and gay sex? Yeah, that’s what this article was about….Really now, can’t they just say things like “anal sex” for the guys, and “eating someone out” for the girls? Maybe it’s ruder, but hey, sex is sex [:
In Mathew 22 it states:
God said “Suck it” and so he did.
My proof God approves of gays.
Okay, this is retarded.
Being homosexual is not a sin, you know why?
We don’t choose, therefore it is not a sin.
THere’s nothign wrong with being GLBT, because love can manifest itself in different ways. homosexuality is nothing huge, it’s just orientation.
hunter, you say WE’RE sinning, when all you’re doing is shunning us and saying we’re wrong. Besides, *** religion because it’s all gone to *****.
i’m bi, and i’m a christian; i have been both all my life. i was raised in an entirely homophobic family and so when i told my mom of course she flipped out on me. (i’m still technically grounded from the internet) i can’t imagine what it would be like for me if my sister and my friends weren’t supportive of me; i still tried to commit suicide. so all of you people bashing gays let me tell you right now, none of us have a choice, and if we did would any of us be the way we are? i’m fine with being bi; in fact i’m proud of it, but it doesn’t change the past and it doesn’t change the present but i pray to god every single day that it will change the future.
Ur all idiots, of course having sex with the same gender is unnatural.. but hell ppl can do whatever they want (… well u kno)! and if it’s rly love then u ppl shut up -.-’
God loves us all no matter who or what you are. To those who are saying this is “wrong” or “gross”: Being homophobic is just as bad as being racist- if you don’t like, you’re entitled to your opinion; however, you do not have the right to be disrespectful as some of you on here are. No I’m not lesbian or bi, I’m just a strong supporter of gay rights and am a straight allience.
ok so for all the hetro people who are visiting this site to say that homosexuality is wrong you should really think about it differently. imagine you are , well boy or girl , whatever and you are in a situation where you are having a date with the opposite sex and you realised you were not attracted to them at all exept maybe in a freind sort of way and you find out you feel this way for every single person of the opposite sex but you realise you feel something for the same sex.what would you do?
would you stick with idea that it was wrong and discusting and force yourself into a relationship that you will never enjoy with someone of the same sex or would you follow your heart?
so you see i dont really think homosexuals have a choice its just the way your made.
so please , don’t judge.
I’m straight, but not narrow. Definitely not a bible-banger. I think homophobia is the interracial dating taboo of forty years ago. It’s fading fast. Someday, all people who love each other will be able to safely walk down the street, holding hands. I don’t see why religion–which is supposed to be all about love and forgiveness–condones such ongoing hate and violence.
I’m glad there are boards like this where gays can make contact in a safe environment. Like I said, I’m straight but I’m also curious about human nature, and this answers some questions for me. Thanks to everyone who answered honestly. Stay stong, there’s more support than you realize!
I think unless you have had sex with the same sex you’re just bi-curious or something close to that. I’m 15 years old and I’ve had sex with more girls than guys. I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong. I believe in God. I don’t think he’s gonna judge me because i like to have sex with both genders.
“jesus loves me, this i know for the bible tells me so.” ive heard that song since i was born and i know every word. no where in the song does it say, “unless you’re gay or lesbian.” so suck a nut. im bisexual and i believe in God and he believes in me.
im a girl. im bi. and im a spiritulist. lots of people put me down but who cares what they think? do u really care enough to be hurt by it? just askin.
Ok, so I just want to say to all the homophobic remarks that are left on here, that there are a few major facts many people miss in assuming that homosexuality is wrong, unnatural, and many also believe it is a new concept.
1. Homosexuality couldn’t possibly be against any higher power. If said higher power really felt it was wrong, then why would this power make people homosexual? I gurantee it is not a choice for most people
2. Homosexuality is not a new concept, and homosexual acts have been going on for many centuries. In ancient Greece, I believe, it was even ENCOURAGED that a male have sex with another male. In fact, I believe that men weren’t considered men if they hadn’t ingested male semen. Many other cultures worshipped gay and transvestite people (sourced from Human Sexuality: Diversity in Contemporary America, Strong, DeVault, Sayad, Yarber).
3. It’s not unnatural for homosexuals to have sex. For instance, why would the male g-spot be located in the anus, if the anus was not meant to be used sexually? =D
First of all: Haven’t you noticed that 99.99% of straight men likes and phantazise having sex with at least one or two lesbian?
And most 99.99% of straight women keep using and abusing fashion and “beauty” stuff to compete with other women? (they’re always watching other women to judge and admire their looks)
Second: Straight people shouldn’t be reading these posts, as a matter of fact there are lots of other posts where people like these would find people alike… you’ll see the virtual world is way bigger than real one so why bother to get inside a site you know you can’t stand, would you walk inside a dangerous or ugly neighborhood? (anyway, these posts are like neighborhoods for people interested in an specific subject)
Third: I’m bi but i only can have sex with the ONE I LIKE AND FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH and while i’m in a relationship i don’t feel like seeing anyone else… just because you’re straight, gay or bi it doesn’t mean you’ve to be a nimpho or a wh**e or evil(like walt-disney).
I have been bought up in an orthodox Christian family and my dad is a priest. Even now I’m confuzzeled of my sexual orientation. Students at school probably assume I’m straight when they meet me others think I’m bi and there’s rumours I think of me being gay. My mum was worried that one of her children would be gay or something and was like “where did I go wrong”. My dad surprisingly didn’t care much, but he said it should be like magnets, opposites attract. My best friend (who is extreme hetrosexualist) believes I’m straight, but I can’t see what’s he’s getting at. I’ve also told him I like it a lot, I was so relieved to know he didn’t mind it. It’s hard to know in my father’s family the son has always been a priest since 1845 or something, I don’t believe I can fulfil this job is there that much shame to not continue this? But one thing is for sure, I really want to raise some children of my own, no matter what. Sometimes I just can’t wait to know if they grow up to be gay or something, I also think of names for them. Anyways I love you peoples here and this information on this site has made me feel more relaxed, but I have a feeling something bad is going to happen to me soon, but oh well. I just hope i find more friends who understand me and can help me.
im straight but i think that gays and lesbos have a lot of discrimination laws against them and i dont think its wrong its normal to do what your heart is telling you to do and i think that if any one has a problem they can talk to me and i’ll straighten them out cuz its none of their buisness if someone else chooses to be anything other than straight its not wrong or nothing it might be different but it makes them happy so just drop it at that and let people make their own decisions cuz if you dont they wont learn from any mistakes they might make and especially if their gay or lesbian or bisexual its their choice not yours so watch out when talking about others it might come back to haunt you or i might have to deck you into a wall or something okayyyy!!!!!!!!??
i think this best to do same sex but first safty
James waltz,
I disagree with you. I think it is extremely important for staight people to read articles about glbt. If they don’t read about us they will never understand. And if they don’t understand nothing will ever change.
About the whole choosing to be gay thing… I am a sophomore in highschool and my parents recently found out about me and my girlfriend. Now these past six and half months have been the hardest ever. I felt so much anger depression and rejection. The things that have been said to me and the things that have been taken from me (I’m no longer allowed to see or talk or have any contact with my girlfrined whom I’ve been with for nearly two years.) I would never choose to go through. I would never want anyone to
Go through. No one chooses to be rejected by their friends and family. Coming out is the hardest thing and if being gay is something you choose, not one person would choose this. I have always been gay. I didn’t one day wake up and say “you know what? I’m going to try out this lesbian thing!” just like no one wakes up one day and says “I have made my choice, I’m def straight” that’s just not how it works.
In the bible it says treat others how you wish to be treated, right? Well you don’t want me judging your straight relationship and saying it’s gross. So If you are going to be this wonderful christain, please stop judging me. You don’t need to agree with it. Just accept us for who we are
I would like to direct everyone’s attention to Lawrence v. Texas, in which the United States Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the regulation of sodomy. Therefore, any bias you have against the sexual actions of LGBT peoples is based SOLELY on your personal moral beliefs, not the law, or medical sound reasoning. If you would like to express your homophobic, heterosexist views, kindly move into your local church, where they would be extremely happy to discuss the sin of the homosexual community with you. Hatred of gay peoples may be wrong, but you may do just that, for such is your personal bigoted prerogative. However, there is no reason to be unkind to those with whom you disagree.
hi, I’m Ethan, I’m Gay and I’m 18.
I am a Christian and proud of it!
God Created All to Live.
Jesus died for All.
These simple truths should outline the acceptance to sexuality of same sex people.
There are people out there who seem fir to mock and discriminate against Queer Youth, this is wrong.
What is not wrong is accepting and acknowledging Queer Youth and their right to Life, their right to humanity and above all their right to God.
God doesn’t hate gays, he Loves All his people. There is no two ways about it.
Sadly some people can’t understand, and even sadder will never understand these realities.
Jesus will never leave anyone, nor will he ever reject anyone.
Remember God is Love, and God doesn’t change.
Are you familiar with the Bible in which “Jesus heals a Roman soldier’s servant”?
Jesus is called to heal a Roman soldiers servant, this person needing help turns out to be his lover. Jesus would undoubtedly know what these two men got up to, but through his compassion for humanity, this does not affect him, he instead through his love decides to help this fellow human being.
Now, this is not a statement by Jesus. It is merely showing in a small way that Jesus is not fazed by homosexuality.
I asked a Priest about this, and he said yes I was right, its a small thing, but you get the idea.
How can you think that God doesn’t love All people? God Creates All, therefore loves All.
I hope this clears things up.
To others like me out there, don’t worry. Your great and always will be.
Have faith in God, God will always love you!
Ethan – Gay Christian
Hey guys, i see all the drama thats going on here and i dont like it. I was only here bc of a research about animals and i scrolled accross this. But i kno my opinion may not matter to most of you but to someone maybe itll help you in some way. Im christian and my religion is baptist. In the bible it says its wrong but sin is sin. I cant judge you all because your sin is no greater than my sin and vise versa. I have plenty of friends that are bisexual, gay, straight, etc… but i love them no different. I treat everyone the same. Im not here to bash anyone because everyone is old enough to know whats wrong and whats right. Being gay or whatever is by choice and choice only. But whatever is chosen is totally up to you. I cant change you because i have flaws myself that i have to change. The reason why alot of people dont got to church is because “Christians”, try to put them down all the time and to me its not cool. Everyone deserves a fair chance and trial and its not up to us to give anyone that. I exept my friends no matter what they do. Just yesterday my fiance and i were at my friend houses having a great time with them and if feels no different. Better yet i wouldnt trade them in for a straight friend.
I love those people and i call them more than just friends i call them family. No we are not teens. Our age range is between 20 and 40 but we all know whats right and we know whats wrong and if anyone wants to change then they will but its not up to me to change them. Its up to God. God forgives for everything except speaking against his name. So you people who come here and talk about theses people you do the math. Have you gotten you alls lives together? Because the bible teaches about judging as well. Sweep around your own front door before your try to sweep around someone elses. God Bless Us All!!!!!
I can only surmise that those of you posting negative comments to this post are here because you are curiouse and wondering about your own sexualality. Hopefully when you have dealt with your demons and have come to terms with your sexuality and individuality you will return to offer an apology and best wishes to us all……
Life is impermanent. Sex is only part of life and i think is a personal choice. No matter which category you belong to, you still entitle to live happily on the earth. Don’t forget to be a good and kind person, ya. May you and loved ones be well and happy. “God grant me the Serenity to accept the things that I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference. Take care and have a peaceful mind.
To all you religious people…
I am atheist and as such do not believe in God etc. However, i would like to direct you to the page below where it is clearly explained that whether you people like it or not; there is NOTHING in the bible which condemns gay sex… NOWHERE… Read it and enjoy.
http://www.otkenyer.hu/truluck/six_bible_passages.html
Okay, people dont bring up god or the bible.
1.were all gods kids, he loves everyone one,no matter gay,straight,bi or else.
2. if you do wanna bring up the bible and atlk bout people buring in hell for same sex relations, keep in mind that the bible also says eating certain sea food is against god, therfor buring in hell.
so if you like sea food,dont bring the bible into the gay community.
I dont see people standing in front of the red lobster preaching, so dont preach to the gay community.
Well…Im gay and of course I believe that it is natural for me to have sex with another male. Yes, I would protection, and I would consider safety. And for anyone who reads this, being gay is not a choice. Why would someone choose a life that is going to be filled with hatred and persecution…it doesn’t make sense. I am also Christian, and God does love me, just as he love my straight friend next door. And for those who ask LGBT how do they know, it takes time for one to acknowledge the fact that they are like this, and they know within themselves that they are.
God Bless you all
Hello…i’ve bin reading all of the comments,and i do agree that if ur “not gay” then wat the hell are you doing on this page?
now I have a question. My parents are Christian, hard cor 2. thay are agenst gays in general. my siter knows that i’m gay and is cool, so is my ant and uncle, and so is my other ant that is christian. but my parents said that if i ever was to be, they would withdraw from my life. cuz supposidly i’m braking one of gods commandments. now wat dose that tell u? dosent god say to love everyone as he did? i was thinking of just coming forth until i’m old enugh to live on my one, so i can truly live life the way i want to. my parents told me that if i was gay i couln’t bring my BF to my house. so i don’t know wat to do. contact me at El_Chris_2008@yahoo.com thanx.
God bless!
Hey i am christian i go to church with my family. Also i am gayy. I hear my mom say it is bad but i feel that i can do both. I need some advice. Message me(:
i am not a hard core christian but i strongly beleive in the ethos of christianity.i beleive that jesus christ is the most influential person in the history of mankind.i beleive that gayness is the one kind of error nature is displaying like many other errors and human race should endeavour to rectify it like we are doing it in the case of many other errors.gay people r arguing that animals r also displaying the gayness.but i am challenging them to show me one species who are actually doing it ( actual penetration )secondly gay people r indulging in anal sex.my question is is the purpose of anus is for sex?anus is the most fithiest part of human body and how the hell on earth any sane person can do this.in democratic countries people r misusing the right of freedom.in america what’s happening.every per minute two rapes r going on.millions of abortion, thousands of illegitimate children etc.in the name of freedom all sorts of immorality is accepted.one day they have to pay the price for all these things.may god prevail good sense to all these people.
i don’t know why there is so much hatered over this subject..but i do know for a fact, for those of you that can read the original version of the bible, do so, for no where does it say in the bible(original) anything about anthing against same sex. before those of you pound me with up with anger comments, look at the bibles in your own homes..the first page or onder the cover…what version are you reading??? notice that 99% of bible you buy today are some sort of version, such as “king james”, or king what ever..now do your history homework..in midevil days, kings and queens wanted all powers to themselves..that included the churchs..they wanted to be supreme ruler of the land..for the most part they did good at that..be to keep the power they had to conveince to “people” they were right and were the top of the land. and to keep the church happy(and the popes out of there business) they made these versions in their favors to keep power.( that is why there is “VERSIONS”) but besides the point, did not GOD in all versions say, that the only way to heaven was to except him and only him?? now where do you get same sex out of that? and for those of you with your what ever version bible, did he not also say to treat one another as you would want to be treated yourselves? to love one another UNCONIDTIONALLY, as he does you? and to JUDGE not one another….???just my thought to this subject….god loves you, and so do i…DECOLORES…
being GAY IS A CHOSES GOD made ADAM AND EVE NOT ADAM and STEVE
YOU GAY PEPOLE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT!!!! I am not being a nassty girl but GOD did make ADAM and EVE not ADAM AND STEVE
There are numerous scriptures against homosexuality. It is NOT from God, it is a sin and not a way that God made anyone! It is a choice – if there is a battle within you, then you have not asked God to make you completely whole!! Why would he burn a whole city of them, then tell someone don’t look back, and when she did, she turned into a pillar of salt – that was Lot’s wife and the people of the city were men laying with men. Please do not think that it’s okay to be gay and be a Christian. That’s like saying it’s okay to continue sinful ways and be a Christian. Yes, God’s love abounds and Christ paid the price, but He sent His Holy Spirit to help us and declare that we are not of this world of sin. We have become accepting to something that is NOT scriptural!
Wow.
Its amazing to see what people say these days. Its so disgusting how rude, inconsiderate, and judgmental people are these days.
If you want to bring up religion, there is a quote that says, “To resist love is to resist God, and that my friend is the biggest sin of all.”
So I would love to have a decent rebuttal against that.
Like others have said, if “God” didnt want these “type of people” on the Earth, quite frankly do you think he would be putting them here?
Honestly people, who are you to judge others who have the same exact rights as you do as an individual. If youre going to bring religion back into this , God is the one who judges, and he will judge you and I both equally.
So I think you maybe need to do a little research and listen to people who have been through these type of situations.
Think about what youre saying to others.
Has anybody ever heard that a change in behavior and orientation is possible? that no gay gene has ever been demonstrated or proven? that homosexuality is an adaptation, rather than an immutable genetic disease? That the vast majority of AIDS patients comes from the homosexual community? The average homosexual, according TO VERIFIABLE STATISTICs LIVEs 15 YEARS LESS THAN A HETEROSEXUAL, That promiscuity and sex crimes are rampant within gays, that even for well adapted gays the suicide rate is 4 tiMes higher than for straights? tHAT MOST HOMOSEXUALS, AT THE END OF THEIR LIVES ARE FAMILYLESS AND die a very lonely daeth? That anatomicaly speaking two penises just don’t fit and 2 vaginas don’t mate? Has any person ever seen a pregnant gay man? Have you ever seen kids from a homosexual relationship? That homosexuality is the result of childhood trauma? bad parenting? the vast majority of gays come from broken families? that homosexuality is a learned behavior? I am not against the homosexual human being. I am not religious man. The homosexual , gay or lesbian, given all of these statistics are indeed against themselves. I cannot see any advantage to society, humankind, to their families, and finaly and most importantly to THEMSELVES that homosexuality is either viable or has any future whatsoever. Think about these facts before taking on or living the gay lifestyle. Thank you all for your attention. Gary
Gary–I responded to your list of misconceptions in a blog post. You can read it here.
Hi, I’m 15 and I’m bi (still in the closet), I’ve read most of the comments here and I’ve noticed a flaud pattern in most of them, gay VR religion, lets define. Bisexuality: “The state of being emotionally or sexually attracted to persons of either sex”, it is able to be shown to exist. religion: “a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny”, as of right now September 17 2009 there is no proof that there is even a god, but only a theory of the evolution stuff, most of the “Jesus died for our sins and this is how you repay him” stuff, the excerpts from the bible, the “Adam and eve not Adam and Steve” stuff is based on if RELIGONS ARE TRUE(which personally I don’t believe in any but I’m not atheist). to the people who are hardcore on religion, you should’ent be ruining everyone’s feeling or beliefs because you think it’s a sin or whatever, but rather if you think it will make us burn in hell, then just be happy with that, be satisfied that we are burning in hell for what we are born with and cannot chose to change.
as stated above I’m 15, bi and in the closet, the main reason I’m not coming out is because I’m scared, I’m scared of what people like you religis fanatics would do or say to hurt me, in bi/gay/lesbian VR religion it parallels to something called genocide. Human Genocide: “Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.” in other words the location and eradication of anything that is different or goes adgenst you. so from a 3rd person point of view the gay bashers/ homophobic’s, ect are the “evil” group, the people who aren’t satisfied that some people ARNT exactly the same and exactly the way you want them to be, it looks a bit like communism or conformity.
The main point of this is to say not everyone is the same or how you want them to be, and to bad if it doesn’t fit into your 10 point plan, but this is how the world is, and this is how the people in it are.
So you can either live with it, or get the hell out of the way.
Either except it or be tolerant at minimum
Tolerant – “showing respect for the rights or opinions or practices of others”
Holy crap. This is like freaking satanic. purity and chastity should be pursued in a relationship in order to build a community. sex is NOT A REACREATION. Use it for what it was meant for.
oow, we can do anal to!
I think that people should just lay off the gay people. It doesnt matter what orientation you are, just as long as your a good person. God loves everybody, not just straight people. I go to church and pray just like everybody else, I’m gay and God has blessed me in so many ways that its unbelievable. I think of it like this. THe only person that has the right to judge you is God, screw what everybody else thinks. Their opinion does not matter, as long as you are happy and obeying the law, thats all that matters.
I love it how this simple question was asked over a year ago, and the most comments I have seen while browsing through is about religion. . . You know, Christians, preach truth not opinion. You believe the Bible is true. Stop twisting it around.
Only have sex with the person you love.
Years ago- I was disowned by my extremely right wing Roman Catholic family…I lived through the guilt (of course I’m catholic) the shame, the suicide feelings…I figured I’d stay alone for the rest of my life. Few years ago I’ve met someone extremely special, kind and giving. We have been together ever since and these past few years have been the happiest in my life..quite frankly, we are not that sexual- I simply prefer the company of another guy. Is this so terrible? for all of you who are keen to judge, you cannot judge unless you are in somebody else’s shoes..you don’t know us, our life stories, etc etc etc so how in the world can you judge me??? is our lifestyle the perfect christian model? NO but does that really exist in your own life? think about it? – doubt it.
im really getting sick of other so-called “christians” coming onto gay sites and bashing people, but its also annoying that to gay people generalize all believers into the annoying-hater kind of christian.
so says the black gay christian teenager living in a mainly white town…
I am straight and I looked at this arcticle to see how gay people do each other but this was beyond watered down. Then I read the comments to see if someone had explained it but no its just people bashing each other about religion. So I get gay guys have anual sex but how do lesbiens do each other, can someone please tell me.
