What do you think regarding gay people?

true. but bi-racial kids used to get bullied a lot too. (probably still do, in some parts of the country.) i think it's more an argument against bullying than queer marriage.

Gays should have equal rights to straight people. I support gay marriage, gay adoption, etc.

I leave for a few days and all the exciting stuff happens while I am gone.

My kind, intelligent, funny younger brother is gay. It bothers me that anyone would presume to categorize him by his sexuality only, when he is just as complex and diverse as any other human being. I am straight and no one thinks everything I am is a result of that orientation. I fully support equal rights because there is no logical reason not to. If we are talking about two rational adults who decide they want to make that commitment, then I see no reason why they shouldn't be allowed that right. If churches don't want to acknowledge the union, then that is their right. I believe in the separation of church and state. I once knew two men in their 60's. They had known each other since they were 10 and been together since they were 20. They remained devoted to each other until one of them died a few years ago at age 80 or so. They shouldn't have had to play confirmed bachelor roommates for all those years. It's a human right issue really, I think.

I'm Taoist, so I believe that sex is important as a healthy exchange between masculine and feminine energies. Given this Taoist belief on sex, you'd think that Taoism would forbid homosexuality.

Oddly enough, despite being one of but a small group of religions that (seem) to have a perfectly logical reason to outlaw it, homosexuality is very accepted in Taoism. It is actually seen as extraordinarily unhealthy for a man to have sex with a woman with above-average masculine energy... which is, according to standard Taoist belief, the reason for women to be gay. The same is true of men with feminine energy.

Hence, homosexuality is considered both natural and perfectly healthy. As such, homosexuals should be treated the same as heterosexuals.

also need one for pleasantly embarrassed-

Think gay people are thimply thwell and thimply thweet.

I think gays should have the same rights that heterosexuals have. I love my gay relatives just as much as any family member. In fact, I voted against Prop H8 in California, and would do whatever I could to make sure that gays get the right to marry. Homophobic churches don't have to recognize those marriages, but they shouldn't take away those rights. Ideally, I would love it if all marriages were done civilly first, then a religious ritual afterward if the couple wanted to, just like they do in some countries.
