    I have no religion and I am very open minded.. My theory in life is to follow my heart. Same Sex partners have been around since mammals took their first breath! There will be nothing you can do to change it it doesn't really hurt ME or you in any way shape or Form it may make you uncomfortable but nothing more...The main thing is learning acceptance and tolerance of all things..Don't focus on the things you can't change and put full effort into the thing you can.. Stop worrying about the petty issues and move on already You can't tell anyone or anything who or what they should LOVE that is something that no one controls so why start now?

    Wiccan. Wicca as a whole makes no pronouncements on the subject of homosexuality. However, a passage from one of our pieces of liturgy ("Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for behold: all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals") has been taken to suggest that homosexual unions, like heterosexual unions, are permissible and good when pursued with harm to none; on the whole, Wiccans believe that sexuality is inherently good and potentially sacred. This is my own perspective on the matter.

    Other Wiccans may believe that because the Divine is divided into male and female polarities, the only acceptable sexual partnerships are also male and female. However, I've yet to run across any Wiccan who actually believes this to be the case.

    you comprehend what's senseless to me? Why the "loving" christion god could create homosexuals, and then condemn them. If their god already does not settle for them, is it incredibly an excellent deal he won't approve of their marriage? Christianity feels like a intense-high quality, loving, accepting faith. sign me up for a number of that. Oh, that became sarcasm, in case you need to no longer tell.

    Buddhist: There is a precept against sexual immorality. After that it's a personal choice, it generally refers to issues of consent and prevailing social mores, I think they are Okay with it.

    I'm an atheist, and i have no problem with homosexuality. you can't help who you love, and there's nothing wrong with loving/shagging someone of your own sex.

    That marriage was made for a man and a woman.

    Not a man and man. nor a woman and woman.

    In the begining was Adam and Eve.

    (not adam and steve.)

    I don't have a religion,but when I did have faith that God existed,I always thought that he would be disgusted with the anti-gay rhetoric that has been going on forever.I would think that he supports gay marriage.If he didn't agree with it,why would he create gay people? Besides,didn't God create everyone equally?

    Frankly,I don't care what religion says about homosexuality.Religion does not apply to everyone else,and the prejudiced people can just shove it

    Christianity. According to the Old and New Testament, homosexuality is a sin, and a perversion of God's intended relationship between a man and a woman.

    im a atheist and im not gay but just because your turned on by the same sex i don't think you should burn in hell for ever so i think let ppl do what they want when it comes to that

  • the bible doesnt actually mention homosexuals as being sinners,

    but it does mention homosexual acts as being a sin married or not, meaning that gay people (according to the bible) cant marry.

    a lot of gay christians have turned into monks because of their homosexuality which they admit to

    hope i answered you question

    edit: why the thumbs down? i answered the question. looks like im being thumbed for my religion huh?
