"Is It A Fad Or Is It Me"
What’s up good people I had a conversation with some people about a pretty risky issue. Gays and Lesbians, some say I was born that way, some may say I had such bad luck with the opposite sex and I decided to just see how it was. Can it be that bad!? I mean it’s so many people going that way now it seems to be a fad, it’s even starting in the middle schools with the young kids. I mean can you be born that way or is it a choice? Are men and women really suppose to be lovers of themselves?

ReplyDeleteMy opinion on homosexuality is, that is between that person & GOD. I don't think anyone can say that a person is or isn't born gay, just like we can't say whether or not life begins at the point of conception. I believe that there are many people who feel they were born gay because they have had those feelings for as far back as they can remember. I have a friend who has been "gay" to me since the day I met him as a teenager. He was always super feminine & involved in everything girls were involved in. I've never seen him do anything guys do. He eventually "came out", but everybody already knew. & I feel like, who am I to say what he went through in his childhood & teenage years. How do I know what it feels like to be called gay by all the boys & to have these feelings as a child & teen that you don't understand. I'm sure it was hell for him. & I honestly don't think he CHOSE to be gay. That is just who he's always been. I do however, believe that there are many people who choose to be gay. When I went to college I saw a lot of that. People taking on the personalities of the people they hung around. When you go off to college, that's the first time you're really on your own. & a lot of people are lost. Most of us were just getting to know who we really were. But I think for some people who had a follower mentality, they went where they felt comfortable. They hung with guys that they didn't feel threatened by or who accepted them for whatever they were, & a lot of the time, they ended up jumping to the other side of the fence. So, I believe some people have been attracted to the same sex all their lives & some people become attracted & make that choice. But regardless of why or how a person came to be homosexual, I think they have a right to be whoever they are. & I think that people should respect them as human beings. Because I find it very difficult to understand how the same people that thump bibles at gay people forget what's in that bible they thump. God teaches love. God is LOVE. & HE says that no sin is greater than the other. So, if you believe being gay is a sin, so is sleeping with that woman's husband. & so is living & sleeping with your boyfriend/girlfriend(out of wedlock), & so is all the lying you do, & so is that jealousy in your heart when you see your sister/brother with something. We ALL fall short. WE ALL DO. So if you think GOD is so disgusted with a man sleeping with a man, I'm here to let you know, he's equally disgusted with that hoe inside of you. We think because people don't see our sins we're ok. So we're in the clear to pass judgement. But, HE sees ALL. & believe me, if it's a sin, it can be forgiven. That is what GOD teaches. So if he can forgive you for cheating on your wife, what makes you think a person that is gay can't be forgiven. People need to stop being hypocrites & worrying about other people's faults. & start worrying about the 300 mile long list of s*** you're gonna have to stand before him with when it's your time to be judged.
Say that Sister Shaquana...lol. Seriously, what she said is so on point and there's nothing more I can add. People ask me how I can associate with different types of people and its simple...I'm cool with whoever treats me right. I cannot judge another man on what he does because I am nowhere near perfect. I will, however, say that anyone with a weak mind can be persuaded to do anything. I beleive many young people today are being raised by children or relatives who are too busy to care. Because of that, they lack a sense of purpose and identity and will fall for anything. I do think many young people are confused and much of what they see is treated as the cool thing to do, so they follow suit. Whether that's acting gay, hoeish or whatever, they all seem to gravitate towards something. Not having a strong parental figure to express to them what love is allows them to seek love and acceptance in the wrong places. Nevertheless, it is not my place to decide if someone's sexuality is genuine or fake. When my child is old enough to understand, I will try my best to be their source of information so they don't have to learn everything in the streets. I'll also try to teach them a sense of purpose and self-worth so that whatever they decide to do in life they can do it confidently and not feel they need to follow the crowd to be validated. If my child decides that part of their life choices is to live as a gay man/woman, I will still love them. I can't save my child's soul no more than I can the next man. I'm not saying I'd like it, but I wouldn't stop loving them either, no more than I would if decided to be a stripper, or a drug dealer or a cheat. I think too often we think we can guide one's choices. You can teach someone right and wrong but at the end of the day, their lifestyle is their choice.
ReplyDeleteTo piggyback LL, do you agree with people who say homosexuality is a spirit and keeping your child away from that spirit will keep them from being gay?
Well I do agree that it is a spirit. I'm not sure if keeping them away will help, well I guess I do because if you expose them to certain people their spirit could rube off on them kinda like habits.
ReplyDeleteThe whole subject of the growing number of gay and lesbian people in the world baffles me. I don't know if you are born with homosexual tendencies or not. I believe it is a little too accepted nowadays. Every tv show, book, movie, ect. typically has some who is gay or lesbian. It is disturbing how many young people under the age of 21 tend to think they are gay and lesbian like it's cool to identify yourself this way. At that age you are so inexperienced with life, you should not have reached that decision for yourself.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to get the religious undertone, but we all know what happened in Sodom and Gommorah in Genesis. It's hard to take the "You like it, I love it" attitude with this. I do believe it's a choice and not something you are born knowing. I also think we are to love ourselves, but not become intimate lovers with someone of the same sex. It is a sin, but so are a lot of other things like another blogger mentioned. I refuse to become self-righteous on this question. Touchy subject!
