Ha Ha,
Just discovered this thread!! It all got a bit Rascist/ Religious in the middle!!
But i thought i would throw in my 2 cents worth, being the only openly gay(albeit female) on the forum as far as i know!!
With regards to Ali and the whole 'why would people to choose to be gay' - believe me it is not a choice i would have made, i have been verbally abused due to my sexuality, discriminated against, disowned by my own mother. I have even tried to do the straight thing, I was miserable, it is simply not for me.
It wasnt a choice i made, i had no choice.
With regard to kids being 'turned gay' by gayness on the TV, i dont see how, if you are attracted to members of the same sex then you are, i dont think any amount of Graham Norton, Gok Wan, on the TV is going to change the chemical balance in your brain, and make you want to sleep with people of the same sex, again this is strictly my point of view!!
With regard to gays not being allowed to get married or adopt, well i wouldnt personally get married cos the thought of two brides makes me cringe a little bit, ala the lebsian wedding in friends!! But i do love my girlfriend very much, and a ceremony to cement that love, wouldnt be out of the question. But again if gays want to get married i see no reason why they shouldnt??
The adoption thing is a slightly different issue - not because i would be scared of the child turning gay - as has been suggested in this thread!! but because of the views of some of the homophobic idiots in this thread - i cant help what i am, and therefore, i expect an amount of abuse, and can deal with it, im not sure i could live with my children going through the same thing, through no fault of there own.
Anyway - these are just my views, you probably wont agree, but i thought i might be a bit more qualified than others to throw my views in!!
As for the Religion and Rascism, i dont want to get involved in that stuff :-*
