I believe it's because of the general outlook: man was made for woman and woman fr man, and in many religions it is seen as a great sin.

i find it sad that people tenmd to beleive that people just woke up one day snaped their fingers and said "ill be gay from now on" that is not true.
i notice a lot of christians oppose gays becuase the bible says their evil, but if you look at the bible it also says that if you wear cloths made from 2 different threads(fabrics) your evil or something, also you cant plant 2 different feild types next to eachother(ex. beans and corn) and that you can own slaves as long as the slaves came from a neighboring country.

i agree. just because some people like others of the same sex doesnt mean they are evil, it makes no sense. people who are gay often hide that they are in christian communities, which i think is horrible. they should be able to express themselves no matter what other close-minded assholes think.

Exactly where did you find that text? It never says anything about homosexuals being evil. All it says is that marriage should be between one man and one woman.
I'm also interested in knowing where it says anything about two fabrics or the agriculture. I've read quite a bit of the bible, and it says nothing about that.

    I personally don't even bat an eye at homosexuality anymore. It's very interesting to me that although in ancient times, [specifically, the Roman Empire] homosexuality was quite common, mostly among men of upper class. When the Roman Empire fell and Europe went into the Dark Ages, it was understandably forgotten. But I do wonder how with the Renaissance and the ressurection of Roman lifestyles that it didn't resurface.

    Anyways, I personally find no fault with homosexuals, and anything quoted from the Bible has long lost it's effect on me.

I don't know peoples' reasons for shunning homosexuals... it's a mystery to me. Religion maybe? I have no idea. Let me say that I personally think that homosexual sex is disgusting and wasn't biologically meant to happen [and before someone blows that out of proportion, let me explain my meaning - biologically, the p***s and v****a are meant for eachother, and all the a**s was originally intended for is defecation. That's all I'm saying.].

BUT, that doesn't mean I wouldn't befriend a gay guy, or that I don't believe they should have equal rights, because they should. I'm just saying I find "buttseks" disturbing. Otherwise, homosexuals are just like anyone else and I don't see why they should face persecution.

I have to disagree with you there. If a person could in fact be born homosexual, it would be a genetic trait, and there is no such thing as a "homo gene". If there were, then it would most likely be a dominant gene, so under the slim chance you'd even get a gay man under the covers with a woman, and she gets pregnant, she would most likely bear homosexual children. And this is never the case.

Homosexuality is just a sexual preference, much as some people prefer... I dunno... for their partner to dress up like a cat or something. Not really a fetish per se, but it's a preference that the person realizes for themselves. What you say would be like saying someone "is born with a cat-fetish gene."

Sexual preference is not a simply made choice like which shirt you're going to wear today, but rather a preference that was affected in no way by your geneology. It's more of a "you know, I think I find (insert own gender) to be more attractive than (insert opposite gender)" kind of thing than it is a "holy Jesus I was doomed to homosexuality the moment I was born!" thing.

What about the people that knew they were gay from a young age? They are just making up I suppose?

Just because almighty science hasn't found a way of explaining something, doesn't mean it can't happen. There aren't genes or a lot of personality traits or thought patterns but they are still obviously inherited from the biological parent.

When a group of people don't understand something, it doesn't exist. Great logic. Gods can't be scientifically proven, so they don't exist. Liking a boy instead of a girl cannot be proven, so it doesn't exist. There is a missing link in the theory of evolution, so it couldn't have happened.

Personal sexual preference and even "fetishes" may not be well understood in the scientific community, but there are a great deal of factors which influence "choices" like that, many of which are probably linked to various genes through the human genome, involving chemicals in the brain, levels of testosterone versus estrogen, and genetic disposition towards body type.

Rioku: I've got to disagree with you on the point you made about how just because science cannot explain something, humans believe that it doesn't exist. Theoretical science exists solely because we don't have the means or the data to empirically prove something, but we use observation, analysis of data, and logical reasoning to assert what's probably the case.
