Is Homosexuality wrong?

[Antagonist]

I know this will generate a mixed opinion, I'm simply wondering what people's views are on the matter.

If you browse through this forum, you could find LOTS of opinions on it.

My opinion is that, no, homosexuality is not inherently wrong, although it can be expressed in ways that are wrong, just like heterosexuality can be. Was it part of God's original plan for us? I don't know. I don't know if infertility or disability was, either. But, that doesn't mean that infertile or disabled people are sinful or wrong or must remain celibate because they may not be able to reproduce (obviously not true for most disabled people).

Whether or not God originally intended homosexuality for us, it is a fact. Some people are gay, just like some people are disabled and some people are infertile and some people have green eyes adn some people are introverts. And God loves them and wants fulfillment for them, and does not want them to live their lives isolated and alone and without sexual intimacy.

Depends on who you ask. It seems to me that it's just a portion of the available options on the human attraction slide rule.

No, it's not wrong. A person can't help being born a certain way. It's like saying being deaf is wrong.

• It's a good idea to differentiate between stating your opinion and stating a fact.
• Please back up your statements. One word posts don't really contribute much to discussion. It's not just a good idea - it's a rule.

Is homosexuality wrong?

I see no evidence that shows that homosexuality is more or less moral or ethical than heterosexuality.

I fully answered a question in the OP.

Depends on who you ask. Is it wrong for me? Yes. Might it be wrong for someone else? Maybe, maybe not.

Or are you asking whether it's inherently wrong? If so, then no. Not in my opinion.

Cite the rule you have in mind.

Rather than simply giving a single word answer, which many seem to be doing, give a reason for this...

You must have a reason for believing it to be wrong?

Geez...

I do not believe that rule applies to this thread.

No. There is no extra-religious reason to believe that it's wrong.
