Hey Jaxon
I don't have a problem with gays, I don't think most people care one way or the other if the plumbers man's gay. Just as long as the toilets working, that's all we care about. There's probably only 20 percent of the population that hates gays, that's never going to change. Hell 30 percent of the population hates me because I'm blonde, skinny and I have big boobs. Who cares?! So it's not that most of us hate gays, it's that most of us hate constantly hearing about the idiots that hate gays. IMO they (gay haters) should be gassed so we can all just get on with our lives, but then they should have rights too.
This has to stop somewhere...
Edit for clarity

But I still firmly belive that gays CHOOSE to be and there is no evidence to prove other wise.

The origin of HIV is now generally attributed to SIV from African primates. HIV-2 is most closely related to SIVsm, the SIV strain that primarily infects Sooty Mangabeys, while HIV-1 is closely related to the chimpanzee strain of SIV, designated SIVcpz. The most likely route of transmission of HIV-1 to humans involves contact with the blood of chimps that are often hunted for bushmeat in Africa.
SIV monkey strains are transmitted sexually and usually do not cause immunodeficiency in their natural hosts, Sooty mangabeys and African Green Monkeys, even when the infected hosts carry large viral loads....
....SIV was first discovered in 1985, in captive Rhesus macaques suffering from SAIDS. This observation was made shortly after HIV-1 had been isolated as the cause of AIDS and led to the discovery of the HIV-2 strains in West Africa that same year. HIV-2 was more similar to the then-known SIV strains than to HIV-1, suggesting for the first time the simian origin of HIV. Further studies indicated that HIV-2 is derived from the SIVsm strain found in sooty mangabeys whereas HIV-1, the predominant virus found in humans, is derived from SIV strains infecting chimpanzees (SIVcpz).
.....While it is possible that SIV infected the first human being via sexual intercourse, authorities believe that the most likely mode of original transmission was via wounds.

okay jaxon roberts try explaining what is the cause of aids. without playing with some man made theory bullcrap, nothing to prove it.
...oh and here you go biblical quotes aginst homosexuality
Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."1
Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them"
...your earlier quotes were not very pertinent to the situation. as i told you, you cant just take pieces of the bible you have to take the whole thing
1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."
so dont say im evil for standing up for my beliefs more then you do, just because im a christian doing my duty for god. huh and i hope you respond to this.

Hiya soldier,
I'm not gay, however I'd like to take a stab at a little logic involving the choice vs. nature idea regarding gays & lesbians.
You were saying to Weedwhacker that you still believe it is a person's choice whether they are gay or straight.
I encourage you to remember back to your first stirrings of interest in girls. I can remember some of mine -- that was over 40 years ago lol!
Okay. So. You were attracted to females at some point....... probably like many straight males, your eye was caught with adult females, and all their fascinating curves and smoothness and the impressive ability to seem as if they might be wiggling even when sitting still. I digress.
Do you remember the point at which you CHOSE to be a heterosexual? Did you, as a young man weigh the pros and cons of each side? Did you contemplate the merits of each side, perhaps noting them on a tidy little spiral notepad? Hmmmm. Only two checks for column A, however seven checks in column B........ I guess I'll be a heterosexual.
OR............. did you just KNOW........
without ever having to think about it?
I think it is probably pretty much that way for everyone, except homosexuals often haven't received approval from their parents ... y'know, those "attaboys" and "chip off the ol' block", followed by a slug to the shoulder.
Just food for thought friend. BTW, good on you for recognizing that marriage belongs to the betrothed, not the State.
cheers

Forgive my ignorance, but may not heterosexuals transfer the virus in exactly the same way?

not if they were christian or jews because that is sodomy or fornication. and as far as im aware one of the reasons sodom and gomorrah were destroyed

Trust me when I say this I am very open minded, But to me the idea of another man in me either just wasnt compelling. But to each his own right? I have a gay friend he said that he had sex with a lot of women and durning an "orgy" he and another guy got it on, he decided he liked that better, so he choose to be gay.
And to all the relgious zealots on here, Jesus states that only GOD the FATHER will be the judge of man, not man. You know the old cliches he who lives in glass houses shouldnt throw stones" or do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The FATHER is the judge of man so who are you to decide what is right and wrong? The bible is open to any and all interuptions, let them CHOOSE to do what they want and if your right then they will wish they would have listen, if your wrong you wasted a lifetime of hate...
