My theory on why the word "gay" became a synonym for homosexual:

They wanted a shorter word, there is glad happy joy, etc.

so, they found a term that could be easily discarded to apply to homosexuals.

Great thread, reps.

And yes, children do deserve to be raised in a normal caring envirnoment with their natural parents, role models from each sex. It is God's plan.
A normal caring environment is, naturally, one free form prejudice.

God made me a homophobe, it is right there in Cor 6:9.

Please quote the chapter & verse where he made anyone a homosexual.
So…God made David Duke a racist
And God made Hitler an anti-Semite

For we are all God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Eph 2:10


For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

psalms 139:13-16

Homosexuality has constantly been linked with a mental problem, and as a matter of fact back in the 50's and so on, homosexuals were considered mentally ill and were put away. I'm not saying that homosexuals should be put away, but homosexuals DO have mental problems.

As for your statement in the 2nd paragraph, Everything is mentioned in the bible either specifically or indirectaly, concerning Pedophilia- ALL Sexuals sins are forbidden in the bible.
There certainly are gay people with mental problems, just as there are heterosexuals with mental problems. I do not have mental problems, and I am gay.

Being gay is not itself a mental problem. The beliefs about homosexuality that were commonly held in the 1950s are no longer held by most medical practitioners or researchers in this field. All of the major professional organizations that address mental health issues reject the previously held idea that homosexuality is a mental illness. That includes the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, and the various professional associations of social workers and others who work with psychological illnesses. Homosexuality is now recognized by most professionals as a characteristic of some people, not an illness. I am gay. I do not have an illness.

I'm gay, I have a joyful disposition, the joy of the Lord.
The dictonary definition of joyful/cheerful disposition still remains yet one never hears homosexuals clarify this.
I hues I am a straight gay as opposed to a gay gay

Just gores to show what a load of confusing rubbish this is.
Not at all. Words come to have a variety of meanings.

Homosexuality has incorrectly linked with a mental problems.


and as a matter of fact back in the 50's and so on, homosexuals were considered mentally ill and were put away.
Also in the 1950’s individuals with Down’s syndrome were locked up in institutions. Does this fact make hatred of people with developmental disabilities acceptable?

I'm not saying that homosexuals should be put away, but homosexuals DO have mental problems.
No homosexual do not. That is a common lie told among Christian hate groups but that is all. What has been found is that mental illness associated with homosexuality is not form the sexual orientation itself but rather it comes from the hatred and prejudice some people in society choose to inflict on our gay and lesbian brothers and sister.
Myers, I. H. Prejudice, Social Stress, and Mental Health Problems in lesbian, gay and Bisexual Populations. Psychological Bulletin 2003.
So it’s not being homosexual that is the problem. It is the hatred and bigotry these individuals face that is the problem.

As for your statement in the 2nd paragraph, Everything is mentioned in the bible either specifically or indirectaly, concerning Pedophilia- ALL Sexuals sins are forbidden in the bible.
Prejudice is mention and condemned in the bible. Yet here you are happily engaging in it

so why is it that long ago, the word gay meant the simple happy of anyone? and now in this current generation it has been corrupted? into what, what difference there is not meant to be?

hey i got a good idea, its that why do you say wrong to others? because you dont understand good... yet this is the idea, is try to understand what is good, and share that with others in words.. does your word have meaning within? then what is it your trying to say?


and then dont be like that, guys are made for girls, and girls are made for guys, you know why? because they can have a great family and wonderful children. but it does take both a mother (a girl) and a father (a guy) to prepare and make wonderful the life of the little ones...

Kids deserve a mom, and a true guy as a dad...

slow down your feelings that you work towards as if that is your gain, for why would you give yourself into what is not well for your life kind nor well for your being ever after, even so much as give away your great house that you through hard work, true of a man, would provide (for yourself?) for your kids...


its the word that is the meaning and the false jests of say, that is wronging the ability to be a real man, though people, we are men, man kind has both man and woman and also all do begin as an innocent child...

take care of the kids, stop the words that wrong them if they were to go that way...

in Jesus' Name, amen.

A bigot in Jesus' name...what's new?

And yes, children do deserve to be raised in a normal caring envirnoment with their natural parents, role models from each sex. It is God's plan.

I'll make sure to make a statement this coming Sunday morning that it is God's "plan" for children to have a normal caring environment with their natural parents -- and that people who have adopted children, or women who are raising children alone because of divorce, death, or who never married are living OUTSIDE God's "plan" and should give their children over to married, heterosexual couples (or orphanages) who can give them more "natural" care.

I'll keep you posted as to what happens.

Dear Uberlutheran,

That wasnt what he said though, the bit in your post after the '--' was your stuff, so maybe you just need to keep yourself posted.
What you have written doesnt change the post you quoted. God's purpose is to have a normal caring environment for children with natural parents, same-sex stuff is juts one thinking of many that corrupts this. Wht you have done is decided what should happen to any who fall short and punish them.
If one falls short then one can repent and receive forgiveness, that applies to the same-sex couple as the divorced couple, both have failed to God's plan.
Yes its true that a Christian man and woman must know that their marriage before God is to be faithful and honouring Christ first and then each other and that it is to be until death parts, but many couples of course both men and women and same-sex couples never believe this whe they marry or marry partners who dont believe in this or this committment.
