this is a topic that has bothered me for quite some time, i have always tried to keep an open mind on my views in Life,but there are some issues that you cannot just be tolerating of,it's either you are for or against it.
homosexuality for me is in black and white ,there is no middle ground for me it is a Sin, against God and against nature but at the end of the day we are all sinners.
i don't think it is right to disriminate against anybody because of their sexual orientation or religion, and i have met some open homosexuals who do not feel there is anything wrong with them and they are entitled to love whomsoever they want to.

what are your views on homosexuality? can you be friends with an open homosexual? can you have your kids,siblings and friends around them.
do you even consider it a sin to mix with this homosexuals ,africans have strong views on homosexuality but at the rate the Western world is becoming accepting of this gays ,have your views been diluted?

personally my views on Homosexuality are still the same,i still consider them to be living in sin. but i do not consider it to be a taboo to talk with them or even be friends with them. but when i have kids i'm not sure if my position will remain the same. what is yours pls share.

they are demons :-x

haba isn't that a bit extreme, they are human beings like you and I? just that they have been influenced by who knows what,

I agree wit Papabaks,i don't think there is any other living tin dat practices homo,male dogs & female dogs,bulls & cows,cocks & hens even male & female. mosquitoes,d act of homosexuality is completely unnatural.

Homosexuality, fornication  and adultery are all immoral acts.

It causes God to regret why He made man. Homosexuality, unlike fornication and adultery, marks a regression towards animality.

i agree that homosexuality is unnatural but what of the people that commit this acts how do you look at them,
do you consider talking to them a taboo that's what i am after here not the act itself.

Obama's open support for this homosexuals what does it foretell for America and Liberalism on the whole.
are supporters of homosexuality equally comitting this sin as well.

I dont see anything wrong with homosextality. It's a choice that people make. (I still dont know if it's a choice of if they are born that way dou). As far as it's b/w two consensual adult, I dont see what the big deal is!

bisexual ladies are OK

Female Plus Female is SEXY but Male (bone) Plus Male (Bone) OMG! Disgusting!!!

View?        ZERO TOLERANCE

MrPrsdent:

bisexual ladies are OK

I'm sure they are

@ Post
I have no probs with them - they do their stuff, i do mine 

For me, the question remain. How do people turn Gay? can a man be born gay? could it be a defect of Nature?

i think people should have a right to their sexuality. be it bi sexual, straight or gay.

as for having them as a friend? i have 2 gay friends, really nice people. but as for having my kids around them? i really would be bothered if i am not there with my kid around them. as musch as i try to be neutral about being gay, i wouldnt want a gay offspring but if i do. what can i do.

i am a strong advocate for co education, cuz in Nigeria, most gays get initiated from only boys or only girls school.

I think it is dirty

Disgusting! Especially when i saw two guys kissing each other in broad daylight when i was in Newcastle.

It is an abomination to God. It is sin,
and stench in the nose of God. though
God frowns at every immoral and sinful
act but deviation from natural act is
mockery to God.

Hence I have zero tolerance for them and flee
from them because evil  communication corrupt
good manners. Yorubas will say "Aguntan ti o
ba ba aja rin a je igbe." Which means  the
sheep that keeps dog's company will eat shit.

If you feel at ease in company of gay, if you are not
careful shortly you won't see anything wrong in the
act. God help you if you don't turn out to be a gay as
time goes on. Be sure the wrath of God is on them.

No one is born a gay or lesbian it is purely
environmental influence and personal choice.

How I wish no one will come here and quote verses, instead we should focus on personal convictions possibly science.

There are Lot of them in Nigeria, good looking young guys with a strong christian back ground. At times i wonder what went wrong.

@poster,
i don't want to see them with eyes, talk more or less of doing things with them ( No discrimination o, just that their site irritates me)

"It causes God to regret why He made man. Homosexuality, unlike fornication and adultery, marks a regression towards animality."

And who decided that? You? Or now you can read God's mind and bible updates?

It's we humans that define levels of sin. God doesn't. Sin is sin. Most of the people here condemning right and left, sleep around and do other things the bible says we shouldn't.
He who is without sin,
As Christians we are not allowed to jugde. End of.
Being gay is not some kind of disease that you catch by being friends or colleagues.
I personally have friends that are and they are not attracted to women, at all. They can see you naked and nothing. I am a born again christian and I do read my bible and study it and all I know is that the same God that created them knows what to do. I am no one to sit on a high chair to judge another human.

With our mouth we are justified and with the same mouth we are condemned. Let's be careful and ask yourself? Would Jesus lynch a man because he is gay? Please,

MUZBO,

So whats wrong if one should quote verses to prove/support his/her point for or against the topic? focusing  on one's personal convictions is against balanced views of looking at serious issue(s) like this topic

Oh please, they are like you and me. Every single gay person I know (many!) has told me that they'd rather be straight as the crap they keep getting from close-minded people like half of Nairaland is exhausting and depressing. But they cannot (and will not) live a lie. And please don't say it's a Western thing. Gay people have been in Naija since Roman times.

In life, I've known what it's like to be treated like a second-class person due to your gender and race. I'm not even close to perfect but I try everyday to not pass judgment on people for their lifestyle as long as they do not harm anyone. Please don't equate homosexuality to pedophilia. It's not the same thing. I've seen and met people who're still messed up from the harm done to them in their childhood. Oh and if I have a child that turns out to be gay, I'll accept him/her with all my heart. And my gay friends will be welcome in my life regardless.

Disgusting, Evil, I wonder what can be attractive in my fellow muscled, deep voice, hairy, proud, ugly, unattractive fellow man, how can somebody in his senses prefer the company of man to a woman (softness, attraction-: curves, p***y, b**bs, innocence-: in some cases, emotions, and all the pleasure derived from a woman)

I HATE HOMOSEXUALITY. I THINK IT IS ABNORMAL. For those who think there is nothing wrong with it, a previous poster has made a good point: If we think there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, then we should also think there is nothing wrong with paedophilia and/or bestiality/zooerastia

I don’t understand what business it is of anyone of who loves who.  You’d you be up in arms if someone said interracial marriages were evil but yet it is ok to say homosexuality is evil.  For all those who love to quote the bible saying since they broke the word of god they will burn in hell I guess 80% of you will also for premarital sex is a sin as is punishing someone for their actions who don’t affect you.  Dint God say it was his job only to judge?  For the ones who claim homosexuality is not natural or is the evils of man I suggest you do your research.  Over 1500 separate species of animals/birds/insects/fish practice homosexuality including but not limited to…, black swans, gulls, flamingos, parrots, mallards, penguins, guianan cock of the rock, vultures, most dolphins including the amazon dolphins and bottlenose dolphins, bison, most great apes including bonobos, baboons and dwarf chimpanzees, elephants, giraffes, kob antelope, walrus, grey whales, killer whales, hamsters, macaques, lions, polecats, sheep, koalas, spotted hyena, cattle, dragonflies, fruit flies, and the teiidae genus of lizards including the whiptail lizard, garter snakes, crabs, ground worms, beetles and honey bees.  They aren’t causing you any physical harm if you’re one of these biblical types they won’t send you to hell so how is it any of your business?

DatNiggaAk:

IF HOMOSEXUALITY IS OKAY, then beastiality and pedophilia are both okay.
afterall they are all deviant sexual behavior.

GBAM!!!  

I love NL! I knew I'd find someone who'll say exactly what I wanted to say!  

And to add to that, I think its worthy of note that God never destroyed a set of people (something he normally would wait till judgement day to do) for lying or stealing,  but he did do it once because of homosexuality,  using them as an example to everyone else. And to think that he even showed up there to see things for himself [maybe he couldn't believe his eyes from way up there],   

Homosexuality is a sin an abomination in God's eyes. Thats clear from the bible!

.

I know  some guys who are homosexuals,it could be that clean looking guy,or that fashionably dressed young man
Not all of them mince or prance when they work.

if our society would be a little less judgmental,then we wont have homos marrying women and locked up in sham marriages all over the place

I don't see anything wrong with homosexuality as long as they don't bother me everything is ok. The thing I really find gross and sickening are the transvestites, the guys that look like girls and have operations and stuff.

J.Kramer:

Normally,i am indifferent to issues like this and always keep an open mind on them.But why should i when its been stated in the Bible that God hates it.

So for one thing "I am against homosexuality"

But to y'all that are really against and show bitter repulsiveness to it, i hope it is in the same vein you regard FORNICATION,ADULTERY and LESBIANISM.
Because to be frank, In the world of sin,there is no kilogram/cm. As they say "sin is sin". So as Homosexuality irritates you,so should the aformentioned vices be too.

JUST BEING FRANK

My guy, I can tell you dat "sin is not sin". At lest not in the bible. Not in Christianity. A good study of the bible should clear this up.

Homosexuality, egotism and greed are some of the "sins" I know to be very grievous (biblically speaking).
