What are the Egyptians opinions about Gays & Lesbians? What is your opinion?

I dont treat Gays and Lesbians any different than normal people. It doesnt bother me about someones sexuality. Unless they specifically ask me my opinion or try an advance on me. Then I tell them what I think.

Which unfortunately isnt a positive view on their choice they made. I dont particularly agree with their choice or how they choose to live their life. But that isnt a judgement on them as people but on their lifestyle.

My moto is as long as you dont rub it in my face and keep ur private life private then there is not issue.

I wouldnt change if one of my friends etc told me they were gay/lesbian unless they told me they were in love with me lol. Then I would put some distance between us, but only in the same way I would if a guy told me he loved me and i didnt feel the same. I would give him space to get over me. lol

This is just my opinion, without religious refernce,.

Someone I know is gay and whilst i dont like what he chose, i feel sorry for him I believe this was a result of some abuse he suffered as a child, and it messed him up inside and now he is confused. This isnt a general concensus on what i believe for all gays. I am just talking about this particular guy I know. But i would never turn my back on him, just pray one day he finds his way back on the right path.

Personally feel anyone is homophobic has some issues of their own.

I know many gays both male and female here and in Australia and have never had reason to feel "threatened" by them in any way as I have always made my sexual orientation very clear.

I can understand why many have chosen same sex life partners, however I certainly don't agree with gay marriage

and have had enough life experience to know that bisexuality is in most instances just a case of someone who enjoys sexual experimentation.

I recently had my first instance of being subjected to Islamophobia by some of my Australian family and I can see parallels in that many people are just frightened of things they don't understand and only have media experience to base their outlook and opinions on.

It is not our place to judge people,Allah swt will do that and being a "hater" of any kind only shows your ignorance and intolerance.

I base my opinions on a lot of diverse life experience.

* a lovely answer "Lily" and I can tell its from a good heart.

addit: I will just add ,girls if you want a good person to go shopping with who unlike most husbands hates hanging around while you look at clothes shoes or someone to give you an honest opinion on your hairstyle,make up etc etc you cannot go past having a gay male friend.

well , bro , as u know , this is a very conservative society , esp when it comes to sex & things related to it..

our deen curse these ppl who go against allah & against nature ..

i dont really have to mention ppl of loth and the punishment they got for doing such a sin..

1) what i would do , is standing by her to get her over this great prob , encourage her to have a therapy ( as this can be a disease ) , try my best with her , cuz sometimes , believe me , ppl can do things without having any idea that it's wrong..

2) i dont deal with them , cuz none would declare such a thing here in egypt..

3) and i dont guess i'm against them as long as they try to fix themselves , and as long as they dont actually try to sin by their own will ...

4) and they should know that , this is not normal , and they cant live like that , cuz this have so many dangerous effects on their body & health..

may allah guide , forgive , protect & bless all of us..

always love & peace from islam..

I'm not Egyptian, but i'll answer anyway...

My best friend of 30 years is a gay man, that nearly says it all as far as i'm concerned. He's the best friend i ever could have had, & we've had a lot of safe fun.

I have a lesbian friend and she is such a sweet person. They are just people like all of us who have different sexual preferences. We need to accept gays and lesbians just like we accept others (veiled or non-veiled, differences in religion or lack of, fat or thin). Tolerance is the key to the world being a better place.

this issue does not take a big potion of our thinking in Egypt, cause simply there is no such thing here.. or let me say very very rare.. thanks God

but to answer u, i would not deal with anyone like u mentioned cause i dont feel right around them.. plus its not normal for a 2 guys or 2 girls to love each other..

plus i feel they should see a psychological

God create us to man love a woman then have kids can build the earth, and praise God.. not for that reasons..

Not really, I don't have any problems with them, As long as they don't try to hit on me hehe, I'll not limit the friendship I don't have anything against them, I also happen to know a Bisexual, She's a very normal person, Nothing weird about her or anything

And I don't really like to involve religion in everything

i don't care what they do as long as they leave me alone,some gays in the u.s. want to put it in your face and make you accept them.i wish they could keep it in their own bed room.

why would i do anything? that would not change the way i would act towards him/her.

i do not care about sexual orientation. what matters to me is what is in the heart, what kind of person he/she is.

nothing else matters...

I mind my own business.
