Do you feel the same way about heterosexual relationships? Just replace homosexual with heterosexual and we can see that the only people who know how to love are those who take vows of celibacy... according to you. After all, why do heterosexual couples have sex if not for gratifying the flesh?

The real question is, if necessary, could you take a vow of celibacy for the sake of the one you love? :D

I know God commended humans "to be fruitful and multiply" and that "the man cleaveth unto his woman", but wouldn't that make love UNEXISTING, a mere whim?

Love has to have some "countermeasure" to be proved in otherways than just sex! I mean for Christ's sake, how can you tell you love someone BEFORE marriage, you just do? With no extra-marital sex, there must be a way to prove love exists. :D

But this is getting off-topic.

About the T-Shirt business, I think it could have been just as well overlooked, or treated , worst case scenario, with a fine and a written warning sent home. But then again there's something in the US about lawsuits that makes them attractive. I guess it's the "stick your nose in other people's business" syndrome.

As for the Homosexual activists, they did what all activists do best, take a fly and turn it into an elephant.

Here is STRICTLY my point of view! No one dares to say it so I will. Ban me if you want but I feel a deep urge to say this.

Being homosexual is NOT about love. Love is something you feel and touch with the edges of your soul. Love is when someone crosses any barriers to gratify the other (even if this involves the loss of one's life). Jesus gratified the wish of the Pharisees to see him dead.) thus obtaining SPIRITUAL SATISFACTION (I don't know how to put this, it's more of "Agape" rather than satisfaction) of having helped your significant one.

Homosexuality is about SEX. Straight to bottom, it is about ORAL and ANAL relationships with someone of the same sex.It is about the gratification of the FLESH. Gay couples often do not feel love for one another (if they would, they would realise that it cannot be consumed in the form of sex).

So, homosexual individuals are incapable of loving??

So tell me, are ALL heterosexual relationships based on love? Are there NONE based on sexual combustability?

Give me a break. I have a gay friend who was in a loving stable relationship that outlasted most of the marriages of the people we went to school with. It only ended when his partner died in his arms.

I wonder how many heterosexuals (or homosexuals) could really take a vow of celibacy. Seriously, how many Christians even truly consider celibacy?

When somebody steps out into public wearing something demeaning, especially a place that isn't privately owned, it becomes other people's business.

Look in the old testament, where GOD NEVER IDENTIFIES LOVE WITH SEX, EVER! This is my point of view, it may or may not be the correct way of thinking. I DO NOT believe in bashing/outcasting homosexuals. Nor do I insist on curing them agressively. We approach them and offer them a choice. They take it, or leave it.

They ALREADY HAVE ALL THE LEGAL CIVIL HUMAN RIGHTS mentioned in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

What more do they want, when will they stop bashing the REST of US? When will I be finally able to read the news without hearing more gay/straight debates? Without hearing of gay fairytales/food/clothes/medicine/treatments being pushed down my neck by BBC, Reuters, etc.?

Interesting, interesting.

A question: if homomsexuals are incapable of loving the people they are attracted to, how is it that I have been able to sit through the weddings of women I was attracted to (I had very mild sexual experiences with one, and nothing but friendship with the other) and not feel any jealousy but simply share in their happiness? If my attraction to them was simply entirely about fulfilling sexual desires, and their marriage to somebody else meant that those desires could never be fulfilled, wouldn't that make the weddings highly unpleasant tangles of frustration and jealousy for me?

But they weren't. In one case, especially, I never even considered the idea that she would be "taken." I did the happy dance when she announced her engagement, and fully joined in her joy during the wedding and reception.

If my feelings for her were not love, but just sexual desire, how is that possible?
