/I have friends who are homosexual/
I seriously doubt that.
/They also keep their private lives to themselves and don't talk to me about what they do in the privacy of their own homes. They also acknowledge the fact that being gay is a CHOICE for them. They also show disgust at idiots that think they are arguing on their behalf when in reality they don't want same-sex marriage to be legal. They think marriage is a one man one woman union and should stay that way./
Okay, now I'm certain that you have no homosexual friends, if you have any friends at all. Stop using imaginary homosexual friends as your mouthpiece. It's obvious that those last three sentences are your opinions, not theirs.
/However, I am not against homosexuals. I am against same-sex marriage. Big difference./
If you're not against them, then why don't you want them to have the right to marry? That would be similar to saying, "Oh, I don't hate black people. I just don't think they should get married."
/If I were against homosexuals, then I would not be considered their friend./
You have no friends.
/I am against homosexuality as a deathstyle, and it is because I care about the PEOPLE who are trapped in that deathstyle./
If your friends were abusing drugs, then your feelings would be understandable. But homosexuality is not like using drugs. It is not harmful to anyone.
/You just don't get it./
You're right, I don't. Or rather, you don't.
/You have been brainwashed to think that Christians hate people who are not like them. That is completely wrong. We have compassion for them and we try to help them. I try to witness to my friends so that they can get out of the deathstyle known as homosexuality. People like you oppress homosexual people./
No, no, no, no, YOU have been brainwashed to think that homosexuality is harmful and thus needs to be "cured." That is completely wrong. You don't have compassion for them; you have self-righteous contempt for them. Homosexuality is not a "deathstyle," it is a sexual orientation. It is people like you who oppress homosexual people.
/Think about it. Which side tells gay people that they cannot make the choice to change, and that they have no power to change what they were born as? Your side. Which side tells them that they have free will and can choose to be whatever they want to be in life? My side./
No, why don't YOU think about it? Which side tells gay people that being gay is horrible and God hates them and that they should try to change who they are so that they can become "normal?" Your side. Which side tells them that it's okay to be homosexual and that they don't need to feel pressured to "change?" My side.
/We are the ones that tell them that they can better themselves and live normal lives./
If normal means pretending to be something that you're not so that you can fit with the status quo, living a lie, and dragging everyone else down with you, then forget normality.
/people are the ones trying to make it so they don't even try to change./
No, we're the ones who say they shouldn't try to change, because you can't change who you are and homosexuality is nothing to be ashamed of.
/You are the ones trying to take their hope away./
As opposed to bigoted families who throw their homosexual kids out on the streets or send them to indoctrination camps in the hopes of "curing" them? Where kids try and try to become straight, all the while becoming more depressed and guilty when they don't?
/You are the ones encouraging them to live in an unnatural and perverted deathstyle that produces no children and carries a high risk of viral infection and emotional problems./
So sterile people should try to "change" themselves, too? If you're alluding to AIDS, AIDS affects plenty of heterosexuals, too. In fact, heterosexual African women would have a higher risk of viral infection than homosexuals. And the emotional problems only occur when self-righteous scumbags like you inflict them on homosexuals, telling them that they should change because they're "not normal."
/You're the oppressors, not us./
Keep telling yourself that.
/You are the homophobes, because you are the ones that hate people enough to tell them that they were born gay and they cannot change no matter how hard they try./
Unlike you, who doesn't like them until they "turn straight?" Either you are an outrageous, despicable liar or you live in a world of delusion. Shut up already.
