I've heard my mother say that she "[doesn't] mind gay people as long as they don't 'flaunt' their sexuality" I asked her to describe flaunting and she said the following:Having a picture of their signif. on their desk,any form of PDA's (ie holding hands ect) with their signif.telling children under 16 about their signif. when kids ask. Allow children to watch movies with Gay characters Having kidsIf you replaced Gay with straight your would these fit things you've done? How many of them?If you are against homosexuality then how come its okay for straight people to do such things?
Do you flaunt your heterosexuality?

The only answers you get will be illogical and won't address the real issue. Sad, isn't it?

Well, I'm gay, but I don't flaunt mine. I don't respect ANYONE who flaunts theirs, gay, straight, or otherwise!To clarify: By 'flaunting', I don't mean having a picture or a simple kiss or hug or a shirt. I mean an extreme show of PDA or otherwise obnoxious manner...

Wow, that's considered "flaunting"? I guess I have been guilty of it then, by your moms standards.I'm not against homosexuality by any means though and I am a heterosexual.

I don't think anyone should 'flaunt' their sexuality, those things are best done in private.

Your mom kind of has issues None of that stuff is "flaunting"The thing that does bother me (and maybe it's because I am a prude, LOL) is when people, regardless of sexual preference, are making out in public -- gay or straight, I don't think it's proper -- that's what I consider flaunting, not the stuff you posted your mom considers flaunting.

Hi Sweetie,The Bible says that homosexuality is an abomination. It is a Sin. To have a heterosexual relationship, and to be proud of it is normal, and healthy. Your mom is right.Love,Mom

I agree with you. The only thing I agree with the other lady is the whole gay pride stickers, and parades and all that. Straight people don't have all that, so why should homosexuals? A lot of homosexuals say they just want to fit in, but they wear things that represent gay pride. I don't nderstand that. But I do understand being proud of your lifestyle. That woman is not okay with gay people is she doesn't want them to "flaunt" their sexuality. She'sbasically saying, :sure they can check out people of the dame sex, but they cannot be intimate with the same sex" She is against homosexuality. She is judgemental, and it's wrong. It's okay to have your own ideas and beliefs, and it's okay if you don't accept others. It's not okay to disrespect others though.
Sorry, no disrespect toward your mother, but that is just hypocritical thinking at its worst. As long as people do things in a way that SHE is comfortable with, SHE can do whatever she wants. But, trust me, this is not limited to just her. Millions of people are like that, my parents included. I think it's rather sad.It's like my mother trying to use the Bible to tell me why I shouldn't have my lip piercing, when she has her ears pierced. You know what she said? "Well, lots of people have their ears pierced." I guess now that LOTS of people commit murder, God doesn't care about that anymore.

I try to sleep with a lot of different women. That could be construed as "flaunting" it, I guess.

>>telling children under 16 about their signif. when kids ask.<<Like it or not, homosexuality is still very controversial. It is not unusual for parents to not want others to discuss controversial issues with their children without their permission. That is why I refrain from discussing religion, politics, and sex with minors without parental permission. Heterosexual relationships are not controversial.

Marriage is an institution sanctified by God. Homosexuality is not. When I see a man and his wife holding hands in public, it does not disgust me, like it does when I see two men or two women doing it. What she probably wanted to say was that she minds the militant, in-your-face gays. I believe in equal rights for all, but not for special rights for gays, just because they are gay. Noone stops them from holding hands, or putting their arms around each other in public. I have seen them kissing in public. It grosses me out, but if that is their thing, that's their thing. In my home, I control what my kids can see. As for what I allow my kids to see, as the spiritual leader in my home, that is my duty, and homosexuality does not fall into the category of what I allow my kids to be exposed to. I must stand for Christ in my home. They see enough in the world.

The point your mother is making is that the behaviors you described - picture on the desk, holding hands, movies - are perfectly natural displays of affection, as the love between a man and a woman is natural and good.When speaking about homosexuality, it is important to understand that the homosexual person should never be treated unfairly, removed of dignity, or denied love in any way. They are children of God just like we are. What cannot be tolerated is extra-marital sex. God created sex be to a physical expression of the love between a married man and woman. This is why extra-marital sex is wrong even for heterosexual people. It's the same sin. I think this is what your mother is talking about.God bless.
