Is it an issue when you know a person that is gay or a lesbian in other words a part of the LBGT community?

Are you a parent that have a child that is part of the LBGT community?

I know a black person... should I be concerned?

 ::)

I don't care much about someone's sexual orientation, as long as that individual is not attempting to harm me or my family. What they do in their bedroom is their own private matter. That said, if some of my kids turn out to be gay when they grow up, I will disown them. Homosexual lifestyle is not something which I can allow at my home.

If your religion makes an "issue" out of you merely knowing people whom they deem "undesirable", that's a classic warning sign that it's a cult. You should get out while you still can.

It is not a problem to me, as long as they are not hurting other people that wouldn't be a big issue for me.  I will not add to the number of people and douchebags that thinks sexual orientation is a big problem in this society.

For me I don't really care if one of my friends are gay or part of the LGBT,
As long as we respect each thats enough for me to hang with them and as long as they know their limits.

Just because your parents were bigots, doesn't mean you have to be too.  :(

Break the circle of hate my friend... they are your children...

Not an issue, but a gift. They can teach you the best girl-pickup tricks known to "man"

Sorry for bad english

Definitely... NOT! Why would it be an issue? Why discriminate or think there's an issue with people who belong to the LGBT community? I mean I have more issues with Terrorists rather than people who are being true to themselves. It's how they are, how they want to live, it's their life, so why would we even stop them to live their own lives?

It isn't an issue but like being part in any community, I would advice against potential dangers, untoughtfull decisions or extremity's.
I don't have anything against LGBT but there are points where I think some people cross that invisible line such as transgender pregnancy's. I get that you want a child but I think you should consider the impact such a thing has on the child's life and I doubt/wonder if that actually happens. Also I do really think a child needs a father/mother balance, love isn't the only thing they need.

I'm being casual or indifferent because it's the right he chose lgbt and as long as it does not bother me, I will ignore.

Sexual orientation of a person inside his/her/its bedroom doesn't bother me.
But there's no need to be proud of anyones sexual orientation, ask others to get involved with your orientation.

Tell It To My NeighborHood
Because LGBT Are Taboo In My Country

I wouldn't do anything. What would you do if you knew someone that's retarded, or disabled, or that has a fetish? I mean what can you do?
There are some things you can't change, like someone being smarter than you or your parents being divorced. That's life.

I think this is very problematic, because like a disease, and can be infected ..
but we should not stay away from it, and treat it like a fellow creature of God
and God also created

I wouldn't mind if a friend or family is part of the LGBT community and i wouldn't even care about their sexual orientation as long as it doesn't reflect negatively on me. Whether they are straight or not people are people and i would judge them at all.

In our country it's not an issue anymore. Some well known people here in our country is part of the LGBT community. I don't see them as a bad part of the society. Some of them contributes a lot in our country. They deserve respect too.

I have some friends that belongs to LGBT community. I do not agree with sex exchange but it doesn't concerning ne anyway. It is their life and they are happy with it so I'll let them be. It's not that big issue.

Other than lesbians bi sexual females, I will avoid them. Call me racist. It does not matter.

Pray for them. The LGBT ideology is incredibly harmful for young people who aren't sure what to believe. It spreads a false ideology that leads to depression and creates a vicious cycle of hedonism to try to fill in the gap that is created. It's also filled with rampant pedophilia which makes it even more dangerous to young people who will be taken advantage of.

Prayer is like masturbation.  If feels good, but it does nothing for the person you are thinking about.  :)

Prayer is the exact opposite. Prayer leads you closer to God and the other is a sin and separates you from God's grace.

But if you want to be atheistic about it, then I'll ask you to provide evidence for your claims. God must necessarily be the First Cause of all, following the logic from Aquinas' 5 ways. Everything that is contingent must be brought about by something else. Since we can't have an infinite regress (otherwise nothing actually "is"), there must be something that comes before all. But the first cause must not be created, otherwise it is not the first cause. Therefore, the first cause must be Being Itself, non-contingent, infinite, the Unmoved-mover. That is what we call God.

And from there it makes sense that God cares about His creation. Prayer is the most effective way of achieving something because it does not rely on our imperfect abilities but on Him who is Perfection Itself.

Provide evidence for your fairy tale first.  I don't need to un-prove something that hasn't been proven.

I just did. If you want a more throughout explanation, read Aquinas' 5 Ways. (http://www.newadvent.org/summa/1002.htm) It can be hard if you have no training in philosophy and especially if you have never studied Aristotle's metaphysics but give it a read anyways.

I just did.

Like the rest of the world, I missed it.   :-\

If you refuse to read, you can't claim ignorance. Seriously, take 10 minutes and read the link. Aquinas makes better arguments for atheism than you will ever make, he's at least honest about pursuing truth.  

Funny thing is I had a friend named Claire and I had no idea that she was a Lesbian until I saw her talk about it with her best friend. I had a crush on her and wanted to tell her about it for so long. I was really shocked at that moment. However, I didn't stop. I texted her few weeks later that I liked her only to get rejected. I was angry and abused her only to apologize later. We're friends now and I am cool with it but it really feels awkward when I see her kiss girls. How would she have babies though ;/

No one is claiming ignorance - just common sense. 

Honestly, we give you nut jobs many threads to post your cult propaganda.  You don't need to infest every other thread with your fairy tales.  :/

She can be artificially impregnated, she can have sex with a man, or she can adopt.  :)

You're talking about one of the best philosophers of western history. It's clear that you have never studied any philosophy whatsoever if you don't know who Aquinas is and his contribution to the Aristotelian tradition. And it's clear that you're not acting in good faith if you refuse to even read basic philosophical arguments that both present the atheist argument and then responds to it. But if you refuse to read anything written by a Christian, then at least read some Aristotle.

Keep it in your cult, man.   No one becomes brainwashed at our age - it comes from our parent's repetitive lies.

I will not disrupt this thread any further.  If you want to discuss your fairy tale, create a new thread, or post in one of the many that already exist.

This thread is about bigotry. 

Just respect theit decision being part of the community. Unless they are less provocative, I won't mind to criticize their sexuality. The provocative I pertain is when they overshow themselves being LBGT. Showing oneself with an other gender excluding male and female is not bad but it disturbs me when they overdo being it.

I'd say that prayer is even better than masturbation. If you masturbate too much, then you will face health issues. On the other hand, if you do payers all the day, there is no serious harm with the exception of time loss. But I agree with the end result. Prayer is just a waste of time. It makes you feel good, but there is no other benefit attached to it.

As person I don't really mind others sexual preference because life is all about doing your part as an individual regardless of your identity. Just let them live and let them happy as long as they don't affect others way of living.

"Try to accept others and you will have peace."

NO I AM NOT!!! but if you will have someone to know that he/she is part of the LGBT community will that be a problem ? we should just accept them and let them live their life as they want .. i have known so many of it and as i see them they are awesome .. they are more productive and caring in their family than just those whose not !! let them be part or our planet and accept them because like us they are also a human being !!

that's not really a problem for me, someone's sexual orientation issue is their personal right, provided they do not do it in public, not in front of children, and do not disturb my family.
if there are friends or family members who have sexual orientation deviations, then I will try to advise them to get back on the right path and not be involved in the LGBT world.

Do you have to do naything? I treat evryone with the same respect if they are not really doing anything bad to me. Being a mber of the lgbt community shouldn't warrant a different status. They're pretty much just like us.

theres nothing wrong about LGBT community.here in our country they are acceptable.i have a gay and lesbian friends also.i accept them without discrimination.lets just acept them unles they didnt do anything bad to us.they are also a hard working and help their family in financial needs.

as of now, LBGT is already accepted in our country. And there is no issue about them.
 It's not a sin to become a LBGT even thought it's not written in the bible.

      I am agree with your statement, nowadays this is not issue in our community lets embrace the fact the LGBT community because they are also people who are confused with their gender. And it is not bad to have a friends, siblings, and even though a parent lesbian and guy. They are also people who are stepped because of their gender. As long as they are not doing anything that can harm many people I am okay with them.

Except there is no real evidence for your god, so......prayer does nothing but make you feel good

It is not about behaving nicely to the LGBT people. I don't have any issues with them, as long as they practice homosexuality privately. But the LGBT activists are the biggest culprits for the bad blood between the homosexuals and the general population. They always provoke the gays in to various activities which can cause irritation to the heterosexuals, and this in turn causes a backlash.

I have so many friends who are belong in a LGBT community. Sometimes, we are fighting coz of differences. But, as time goes by I realize that I should be the one who have a more understanding towards them. Facing unequality and criticism is a hard obstacle so I'm praying that in due time they will find there way back.

I have a relatives and friends that part of LGBT community and it is not an issue, gender will never be an issue. As long as they hurt someone there will be no issue. Lets not judge someone by their gender.

I do not have any problem with gays,lesbians,transgenders.I have friends who are gays and lesbians.They are still humans.And they deserve to be respected to.

everyone is worthy of good gays, lesbians, transgenders.,. maybe they are a bit in isolation in the environment but they also have feelings that we should keep, and imagine if we occupy their positions, maybe they already have a sense of comfort that they have by acting as seoranggays, lesbians, transgenders ... this is very good we hagg wherever they are.

I'm not a parent with a lesbian or gay child. But if I ask? I see many members of LGBT Community often showing me. Hmm for me every time I see such people? I do not even notice every time I talk to them. It is better to let them talk to you just as you look at whether you are kind or not. When you look kind, talk about it and if not? Do not worry about it. They do not talk about their purpose, but you're right :).

Let them be live as who they are and what they are ! you dont need to do something bad to them but if you can, you can help them if they are needing a hand! every human being have the right to choose who will they be and what they want it life! AND no i am not a parent of Lesbian, Gay, Bi or even Trans but i do respect each of them and if destiny will let me have a son or daughter like that i will stiill love my kid and support for who she/he is !

That is your personal opinion. But if my kid turns out as gay or lesbian, then I have no doubt that I will disown him/her. Homosexual lifestyle has no place at my home. If he/she wants to live as a homosexual, then he can do it on his own. I respect the LGBT community. But that doesn't mean that I am going to subsidize their lifestyle by providing free housing.

I don't really care if person who I know is part of LGBT community. I'm not supporting them, but it's their personal choice and I have to respect it. Offcourse, I don't like when they promoting their movement. But if gay or lesbian loves same gender people, but at other aspects he/she behaves like usual person, it's not problem for me. But now I don't know gays or lesbians in personal (or I just don't know that they are part of LGBT.)

I Respect LGBT community, as long as LGBT Don't do anything wrong with me i will accept them ,do we need to do something if we know that a person is a member of LGBT?well i think All we need to do is to respect others, if they love the same sex then its not our problem, there they are happy so let do what make them happy.

Yeah its an issue if you live in a backward country but here in the west we welcome everyone with open arms. So longs as they don't try and fuck me in the ass everything will be fine.

What I need to do.
I've know a lot of people, gays, transexual, bisexual, blind, no legged.
So, what should I do?

I'm not a parent of a child who's a part of the LGBT community, but I don't hate them. I really think that no matter what gender a person is, he or she deserves respect same as every people do. Being gay or lesbian is not something that we should focus on. Even if someone is part of the LGBT community they should be treated equally.

if I have friends or friends who have LGBT tendencies then I will remain friends and respect him as a human being, it is his right to be as he wants, but I will also try to give my advice or opinion as his friend so he can be aware and has a desire to return to normal according to gender, certainly not an easy thing to change a person's views unless he or she wishes to change.
I am a father with two children, but my children have no LGBT tendencies or other sexual disorders.

Do i have to do anything different? Do they have to be treated differently? I don't think so. I probably would just accept them for who they are ,let them be, and live my life

Not racist actually, gay is not a race...but yeah I will just call you ignorant and retrograd and hypocrite.
Cheers to the rainbow!

I really hope you have a bunch of gay kids, so they can live far far away from a bigot like you, since your ignorance will lead you to bankruptcy they wouldn´t support you when they see you looking for food on garbage cans while they pass you by in their fancy cars seated on the backseat beside their same sex partners holding hands.
The rainbow still loves you hun ;)

Im asking the same to myself, I know two Chinese, 1 Jap, 2 Filipino, 1 Dutch, a cop, a bald guy, 2 Black men, lots of drags, gays, trans, lesbos, fat, thin, tall, short. OMG! What a dilemma...!!!!!!

I will be proud of her/him for coming out.

I am least concerned if someone I know is part of the LGBT community. It isnt something important for people to dwell upon or make it a big of an issue. Someone that is part of the LGBT community is perfectly normal so i dont see why people consider them as a special case. For me, i accept them and let them be who they are.

If the worker is in the organization, it's a private matter which cafes and clubs LBGT he visits. This is how it may adversely affect the performance of the organization in which he works? Of course not. You should never compare your personal life with work.

I'd shrug....

Knowing someone who is part of LGBT community is no big deal at all. As long as he is true to his/her self and doing good things, who am i to judge then? They are humans too who have feelings after all

A family member of ours is part of the LGBT. I mean i treat that person the same as others (to me that is). They're still humans after all, more over they're family. Why would you treat someone differently just because they have a different gender orientation as yours

I don't care if the person is gay or part of LGBT community. The personality is what most matter. I do have friends who is part of LGBT community and I am proud of them

if there is someone I know or even a member of my family who is involved in LGBT, I will not hate the person, I will not stay away from him in our environment, I will try to give suggestions and feedback so he can be aware and return to normal as before.
it is not easy to re-awaken someone who is involved in LGBT, we must be patient in facing it, because it will also affect their psychological.
I am grateful that my children or relatives are not involved in LGBT, and hopefully that does not happen to you, we should always monitor the development of our children and keep them away from the LGBT environment.

Nothing. am i supposed to do anything? I don't think i have the right to persuade them to be straight when them, themselves can not. It's their life, as long as they don't harm others, i don't think i need to care and give a care about such issue.

I, too, try to stay away from such people and guide them to the right path. I will try to make every effort to ensure that my children are not moved by the mind and do not become gay.

I have nothing to do is to help gay or homosexual. Because people is be very judgmental there is no such thing as an illicit person.

The vote on this is happening in Australia right now.

I think the general consensus is either it is ok for people to get married if they are gay because it is their right to choose even if it is the wrong thing to be. Or it is not ok for the community to be there because it will affect normal young people and distort them away from the normal biological process.

This issue must be taken up carefully. From what I have seen from my life experience is that there is a lot of under-age sex among the homosexuals. It may not be forced, but under-age sex is widely accepted among the homosexual community. And there is a conscious effort from the gays to spread their propaganda into the minds of young children.

i don't care about someone's sex orientation. but, principally, I really really don't like "LGBT's" principle. If I find one of my family being a part of LGBT, I will try to tell her/him that it is a wrong thing.

Of course, this is abnormal and will lead to a distortion of the perception of the world in young people, even if they grew up in a normal family. Propaganda of homosexuality is very tricky and it is trying to make it normal.

I would not be concerned Even if I have a friend that is in the LGBT community. They are also counted in our society, people already accept the LGBT community. Let's just move on and live on with our lives, let us not concern ourselves with "issues" we do not need to bring up.

I will try to convince such people to take the right path and show them the work of scientists who recognized this as a disease and successfully cured many people.

I have so many friends that are part of the LGBT community and I respect them all. They deserve to live freely and deserve to be respected like a normal human being. I will support them whole heartedly as long as I know that what they are doing is right.

What else should I do?? Nothing. Just be the same just like before. Because he may be a gay but it is still him he just came out of his box and it is better to be true after all

It is a condition that needs to address they are also people who need love affection and care, what they are looking for is acceptance.. But more than that they need to be guided and counsel to be resposible to their chosen lifestyle and preferance.. That at the end of the day.. They will still to give account to God for their life.

Juts let him/her be. As long as he/she doesn't undermine somebody it's okay. He/she can do what makes them happy.
