A Survey on H0mosexuality

I was talking with some friends during lunch time in school today, and one girl came up to our table and asked if we'd like to fill out a survey (though she didn't say what it was about). When we got it, it was about homosexuality. Me and my friends filled it out. Here are the questions and my answers:

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

They are born that way.

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

Nope, think you are born that way.

Do you believe in gay marriage?

Yes, but most my gay friends would be fine with civil unions, I just think they should have the same rights as everyone else.

Do you believe gay couples should adopt?

Of course, since I believe your born that way, and that's not a bad thing, kids in foster care need homes.

If you have a child that turns out gay and consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

Of course.

Oh come one, to say that you genetically can't help it is stupid, guess what I had asthma, I was fat, small, constantly sick, as in I wake up at night and I am screaming in aching pain that seems to never end. I still feelt he pain sometimes, but now I am tall, strong, asthma free, if I can change, SO CAN YOU! This is just the dumbest arguement, you can also grow out of even genetic circumstances if you really want to. I also can simply not have attraction for woman if I really try at it, even the bible says to not look at woman with lust in your hearts. Sure you genetically have an attraction for the opposite sex, but in time you can overcome, we shall overcome! We shall overcome! WE SHALL OVERCOME!

no kidding...

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

I can't claim to know. However, I think it has to do with the gay gene,

Genetic_Code

There's a gay gene??

I honestly don't know. Here's some info if you want to read about it.

:lol: I totally did not read that link before reading it. Obviously, that proves my point.

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

Personal preferences

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

Yes

Do you believe in gay marriage?

My answer: I believe in gay civil unions. "Marriage" is a religious term, and a Church may reserve the right to deny a couple, gay or not, marriage for whatever reasons they choose.

Never thought of that. Personally, I would say yes but I never thought of marriage as a religious term.

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt?

If they're qualified, then yes.

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

Since the question would also say that I consider homosexuality immoral, then no. I would try to persuade him/her out of it. If it didn't say that, I would support my child.

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

I don't care.

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

Possibly, but what does it matter?

Do you believe in gay marriage?

An individual church has the right to deny a religious marriage just as much as a gay couple have a right to get wedded at a tolerant one if they are religious, and just like everyone has a right to nonreligious union.

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt?

I would rather have two caring gay parents who would teach me tolerance and accept me as a human being instead of social service agents mapping me a course of random possibly abusive crapstain foster homes. So yes, I do support it, and I greatly dislike people who don't.

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

I can't think of a reason not to, so yes.

We turned them in and discussed our answers for a little while.

I did answer them.

Theokhoth

1. In a small amount of cases, genetics/chemical/born that way; otherwise, by choice.

2. Yes.

3. No. At most, a "legal" marriage, but never a true church marriage.

4. Never. In this day and age, gay kids have enough trouble growing up as is. Forcing/allowing a child, who may be perfectly straight, to have to live with a dad and dad is just wrong and will only make it that much harder for him in school.

5. I'd support him. I'd let him know I disagree with his preference, but I would not stop caring about him.

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

Could be all sorts of things, like past experinces with the opposite sex,the brains shape,etc.

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

In some cases yes.

Do you believe in gay marriage?

I don't surrport marriage period. It's just paperwork >_>

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt?

If they are qualified

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

Yes sir.

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

My answer: The brain + the environment.

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

My answer: Only through sexual repression and I wouldn't reccomend it.

Do you believe in gay marriage?

My answer: Marrige is a religious term so I say yes because religion shouldn't stop non-religious people.

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt?

My answer: I would say go ahead, but who would want gay parents? you'd be made fun of so much.

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

My answer: Of course.

Theokhoth

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

My answer: Brain

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

My answer: Nope.

Do you believe in gay marriage?

My answer: Marriage is pretty much pointless. You could just say you're married even if you haven't been...

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt?

My answer: If they're good people, yes. But I imagine it would be strange having two fathers, and the child would be made fun of...

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

My answer: Yes. Stupid question (to me)...

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

The brain.

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

Nope, you're either homosexual or you're not (at least that's what I think is true)

Do you believe in gay marriage?

I don't see why gay couples shouldn't get married.

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt?

No. I don't think it's fair on the kid. The kid will most likely be teased at school and they wouldn't know what a normal family is like.

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

Definitely.

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

I honestly don't know. Most causes I have heard always tend to be either a liberal or conservative explanation.

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

Not sure, since the answer would be a reflection of my first answer, which I am unsure of.

Do you believe in gay marriage?

Civil Unions, but they deserve the same rights as a heterosexual couple

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt?

If they pass the same qualifications as any other couple looking to adopt, then yes.

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

Yes

Theokhoth

My answers.

What do you believe causes homosexuality? -- I have no idea, but I would like to know.

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of? -- I would hope so.

Do you believe in gay marriage? -- No. I don't believe in marriage period.

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt? -- Two parents of the same gender? Nope!

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her? -- It would definitely be a challenge to accept it initially for a few reasons, but it's my baby. I couldn't help but love him/her and support my own child, so yes I would. Hopefully, I won't have to deal with it though.

Homosexuality is a dieing sub species

They have every right to do as they please They do no harm being a few braincells in different directions

They have right to be who they are To have children To be married To die off and reborn

When someone who ends up homosexual is born, the first person they see is an attractive doctor or nurse of the same sex. That initial attraction clearly leads to homosexuality later in life.

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

No

Do you believe in gay marriage?

Yeah

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt?

If they can do a good job, then yeah.

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

If I considered it immoral, I guess not.

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

Genetics.

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

Nope. It's part of who someone is.

Do you believe in gay marriage?

Civil partnerships, yeah.

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt?

No, never.

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

Well, yeah, but I'd still be pretty...narked, shall we say.

Theokhoth

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

-----What causes us to lie? What causes us to sin in general? It's our willingness to give in to temptation. "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it brengeth forth sin." - James 1: 14-15------

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

-----Yes I do. With prayer and love I believe it can indeed be "grown out" of.------

Do you believe in gay marriage?

-----No, the only marriage allowed should be between a Man and his Wife. "He created them, male and female". Jesus taught on numerous occations that God made us male and female and that we were made for each other. It is not right to do something which God did not intend for us.-----

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt?

------No. A child should be brought up by a Woman and a Man, a Mother and a Father. It is not a normal childhood to be brought up by two parents of the same sex. They would be influenced whether you intended them to be or not.-------

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

-----Always. Though, I would make sure they understood about God's view on it.------

Theokhoth

Here's mine. Before anyone starts a "You're against gays" protest, I'll just state that this is MY opinion no one elses. Take it or leave it.

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

Do not know.

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

Do not know. Why would it be grown out of anyway? Is it like the terrible twos or something?

Do you believe in gay marriage?

I don't believe in marriage, but if someone wants to get married, more power to them.

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt?

Sure, if they're stable. Same qualifications necessary for a heterosexual couple.

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

Yes.Theokhoth

Answer to all questions: It's not my place to judge how people live their lives when they are not hurting anyone else.Engrish_Major

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

My answer: Evil spirits inside their heads.

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

My answer: Only if the evil spirits are exorcized.

Do you believe in gay marriage?

My answer: As long as it's between a man and a woman.

Do you believe gay couples should adopt?

My answer: No one should have two parents of the same gender.

If you have a child that turns out gay and consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

My answer: I would get a priest to perform an exorcism.

Actually, my answers are pretty much the same as yours.

"Church may reserve the right to deny a couple." Strongly disagree with this statement. What gives churches the right to deny a couple to get married? Blazzer105

Separation of Church and State. A church may deny marrying any couple for any reason they choose, and they can not ethically be forced by law to do otherwise.

Then with so many alternatives, you shouldn't get peeved that a church won't give you or someone else a traditional marriage.

Because marriage is a religious concept. So marrying in a church would line up with the beliefs of religious people.

What do you believe causes homosexuality?

Genetic make up and chemical balances, it's absolutely not a choice,in any case.

Do you believe homosexuality is something that can be grown out of?

Nope, the most you could do is use sexual repression, which would likely destroy the person.

Do you believe in gay marriage?

Yes, I see no reason why they shouldn't be married.

Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt?

Provided the individual couple is qualified and suitable for raising a child, of course.

If, hypothetically, you have a child that turns out gay and you consider homosexuality immoral, would you support him/her?

Most certainly, I'd be proud of him/her for being brave enough to come out of the closet.

So has religion.

Even if it didn't start that way, marriage most certainly has become a religious concept over time, so how it was in the past has no bearing on today.

No. Marriage started with Adam and Eve. Jesus confirmed so.
