Not really. Both in Rome and Greece, it was acceptable in some circumstances and intolerable in others. There's this myth that homosexuality was widely tolerated prior to Judeo-Christian influences.

Homosexuality is not an action, it is a part of personal identity. If you "hate the sin", you automatically hate the "sinner".

I dislike them because the only two homosexuals I have ever known in my life had flirted with me, and asked for sex SEVERAL times. And I said no. It is also against My morals.

We need to think of the truth of homosexuals or bisexuals for the matter. They may like same sex and are different from other people, but why do people avoid gays? Are they scared of there sexuality, or is it that they feel they will be ridiculed? Maybe they are scared of being raped. Somebody give me some detail of why they do not like homosexuals. If the reason is biblical then read the scripture again. Don't lie with a man as you would a women. It is not a sin to be gay it is a sin to have same sex.


Homophobic men are basically afraid of gay men doing to them what they do to women.

My theory is that all people are bisexual. And that many people just lie about it, because they feel ashamed.

Well, people were... raised that way. Most people, at least... It's like how my friends (three males in real life) make fun of homosexuals, even though they know it offends me greatly, even though I am not one. Well, fully, but that's besides the point...
The point is... People still haven't excepted the fact that 'All men are created equal', despite the freeing of the slaves...
Because, if everyone is equal, why does sexuality matter? Why does popularity matter? Why does being rich or poor matter (other than to support yourself)?
One answer is that people aren't perfect. They can't be fine with everything, because... Well, they're just human.

As I've stated in the boyscouts thread, everybody is entitled to their own opinions. Even if you believe their opinion is wrong, openly criticizing or undermining their opinion makes you no better than what you believe about them.
