Well you can. If there is a murderer going around killing people, we can't tell them to carry on doing what they want to because "They are who they are", we have to stop them or send to therapy.

But how can you compare being a murderer to being gay? That doesn't make any sense.

I understand, but what I'm trying to say is that you cannot tell someone to stop being gay for the sake of religion. Being gay is not a psychological illness like being a murderer is, its a true form of identity and sexuality. It's the twenty first century, I really don't understand how some people can still believe that being gay is wrong. Okay okay so there's religious beliefs but religion never justifies it. The only reason it gives is that 'its unnatural, dirty etc' but it really isn't. How is that justifying it at all?

I am sure God said be kind to one another, treat each other with respect. Religious people believe this yet still choose to discriminate gay people and other minority groups such as transgender people? I really don't see how that is in anyway creating the peace and prosperity that religion SUPPOSEDLY brings forward.
You can't pray the gay away.

1. A penis is supposed to go into a vagina not an anus.
2. Homosexuals cannot reproduce naturally.
3. Homosexuals have the most HIV and are at most risk for catching
4. Even though animals may practice homosexuality, that doesn't make it right for humans!

1) Does that make heterosexual couple who engage in anal sex wrong?

2) Not everyone wants to reproduce

3) There are steps in contraception which can be taken to reduce this chance

4) Why?

Its not for the sake of religion but for the sake of maintaining for what is right in society. Children need a mother and a father, not two parents of the same sex(I know off topic but...). Oh and by the way anal sex is disgusting-just think about it?
On the other hand, what transgender people are doing is wrong too- just because someone identifies themselves as a different gender than they are born with, doesn't mean that they can change their gender and why should the NHS pay?

Regardless of how much you disagree with homosexuality,I will say it and keep saying it: people are born gay.
No of course I wouldn't :lolwut:

1) Yes I guess it does make it wrong to do that. However the majority of heterosexual couples engage in normal sex whereas many more homosexuals engage in anal sex and cant engage in normal sex so its wrong.
2)I know not everyone wants to reproduce but its about the chance of reproduction.
3) No contraception is 100% effective.
