Being gay is a man made problem. I'm not talking about choice in sexuality btw. What I mean to say is that being gay is not an actual problem. Its seems to be part of nature. Its been made into a problem. Some believers "need" to look down on others just to feel that they are part of the chosen ones.. The better ones. As much as I hate to say it, as long as believers use this mechanism, they will never give up the hate. Seeing yourself as saved and the other as doomed is to much fun it seems.

@Ranokian Well sadly there is a darker side...those that do it out of misguided love. They "care" about the lost hopless gays and they must save them from themselves, since they obviously just havn't known love from a father figure so are desperate to find it elsewhere *snorts*. Their intentions isn't bad, but their actions are, it goes to one of my more recent videos like last week or so where I point out alot of harm done by religion is ironicly done with good intentions. It's the

@Ranokian corruption love and good will that religion causes.

Ugh... And I thought Xtra Normal was awful...  At least Xtra Normal doesn't leave unnatural pauses in the middle of words.

@MyOldName Yeah, I got better at it by the end, but I'm glad that I use mic now instead.

I dont see why gay people get bullied? Most of the ones i know are some of the nicest people i know i dont see why people think its a sin to be attracted to certain people? Oh thats right the bible says to, most homophobes are gays them self trying to make it seem like they arnt. That means god is the biggest gay ever. (not like i have anything against him being gay :) )

@lewisself well if you think about it, we are made in his image, there fore there are no girls up there heh :> That could be a interesting idea :>

@TrevorBlack79 Yup, and every year were moving away from the hate of the past, the bigots like the one I paraphrased in this video become the minority. I guess could be said that they are so vocal and loud because they are losing. I'm glad that your happy, hope you two have a long life together :>

@zdtfdfhgjk problem with common sense is..it's not all that common. I hope some day we can get past all this nonsense...and people can be themselves without fear of being ridculed attacked or hated. Being gay myself, I hate seeing what many others go through, and hope that stuff like with the new york marriage passed we can slowly move away from the hate.

@zdtfdfhgjk I'm gay, 32 years old. Less than a year ago I moved in with my wonderful boyfriend, less than a month ago we bought a house. Realistically speaking we have a more functional and happy relationship than any couple I've known. I went through depression, I felt the hate, had my locker and car vandalized in H.S...pretty much everything short of getting beat up for it (And I consider myself lucky on that). Don't let them get you down. To quote the recent video trend - it gets better. =)
