Curious about different views on homosexuality

[FemmeRealism]

I, for one, simply cannot find a problem with homosexuals. I've found that most people have formed their negative opinion based on religious reasons. My recent conversation with a friend really got me thinking about the subject. (He opposes gays and is christian.)

He used the "Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve," argument, which is easily argued. Suppose God did place the first couple here on Earth. Alright. One would assume that, essentially, the first people on our planet would have the responsibility of building the population. Having children is physically impossible for two men, so "Adam and Eve" may not have been a stab at gays, but simply means for humanity to start.

He then brought up the two cities, Sodom and Gomora. (Referenced in the movie Year One, I've never seen it and I had no idea what he was talking about.) But my uneducated guess was that the cities were destroyed because of people's misconceptions/hatred for homosexuality, rather than two men or two women being in love. He told me that God destroyed the two cities, which really doesn't mean too much to me.

I'm looking for a non religious reason to hate gays. To which he replied, "Damn... I'll get back to you when I think of one."

So, what are your views/opinions?

What people get up to in the comfort of their own bedroom is not my fucking business, nor is it anybody else's.

Are they harming anyone? No.

Does it bother me? No.

Should it bother anyone else? No.

I love homosexuals. I love heterosexuals.

There are no legitimate reasons why I should hate them. Both can acquire and spread disease, both can be moral and immoral, both have the potential to be good or bad parents, etc...there is no difference between them in anything but what they stick their dicks in/what they rub their clit with.

I don't have a problem with gay people. Nothing that they do hurt me in any way. All they ask is to be treated the same way that hetero people are. I don't think that's too much to ask.

As far as the "Adam and Steve" arguement, every species have members that are homosexual so obviously it isn't a choice as some people would lead you to believe. So if there were something wrong with it ,like christians believe, then their god made a faulty person. God is supposed to be perfect so he can't make mistakes.
Therefore, there isn't anything wrong with homosexuals...

I like lesbian porn.

Who people form relationships with and have sex with is nobody's business but their own. Can't put it any simpler than that really.

People shouldn't be defined by what they do with their genitals anymore than they should be judged by how long they take to have a shit.

Usually, when I ask for a non-religious reason against homosexuality, I'm told that it's "unnatural". I'm with the general concensus here: doesn't bother me, they're not hurting anyone, it's none of my business. That goes for anyone gay, straight, or bi.

Being asexual, I'm naturally not that interested in people's sexuality.

I'm even more confused as to why there are people out there who'd discriminate and persecute others over their sexual orientation and preferences. *sigh* Some humans who dare to call themselves adults can be so unbelievably childish and bigoted.
