I go to a youth group in College Church, and last week my leader raised up a controversial issue that still bugs me today: homosexuality.
First, I need to point out that I'm not a homosexual. Second, even though I do follow Jesus Christ and the church's views, this is probably one out of the few that I don't agree with. I don't see anything wrong with homosexuality at all. I'm not saying I'm pro-homosexuality, I just need a solid reason as to why it's wrong.
The church defines that homosexuality, adultery, and rape is frowned upon. Yes, I can understand how adultery and rape is; but homosexuality? What's wrong with loving the person of the same sex? It is strange, I know, but once you get over that factor, there's nothing wrong with it. It really bothers me when I ask people about it, they say "It's bad," or "It's gross," without any facts supporting it.
As I noticed while I was watching the news, everyone's focus is on homosexuality. What about rape? Or murder? It seems like we are making a huge deal about giving rights to gays/lesbians and not about trying to prevent violence in this world. Okay, seriously, out there, people are dying, secretly smuggling drugs, killing everyone, and we choose to focus more on rights for homosexuality than preventing violence. Let me get this across: THEY ARE PEOPLE TOO, AND THEY JUST LIKE PEOPLE OF THE SAME SEX. How do they harm us in any way? Seriously, just give them the rights. They aren't going to bomb us or anything.
So, in conclusion, these are my views on homosexuality, and how I think there's nothing wrong with them. But, if you have a good reason why it's not right, I'll be happy to listen. :)

I, like you, do not see anything wrong with homosexuality. What I've noticed recently on this topic is the fact that a lot of times, if you openly state your anti-homosexuality opinion, you will often be looked down upon in a setting such as school, where we are learning to be more open on topics such as these. Though yes, I've yet to hear a reason as to why an anti-homosexual opinion is better than mine, and yes I do strongly disagree with such an opinion, it is, after all, an opinion, and as long as you don't treat homosexuals differentely than the average human being, you are entitled to your opinion.
Yeah, I totally agree. It seems like the younger generation is more tolerant of gays than older generations. But
