Just stop this rubbish explanation and tell us if u are a gay

Just stop this rubbish and tell us what psychological and physiological impact the idea of gay people has on you?

Why do they even interest you?

This dude is one shrewd businessman.He knows what he is doing;I think he is trying to start a cult followership/market, and is target is ga.y men.

Imagine the number of self-confessed homos3xuals that will want to identify with his church,and there is the backing he might get from all these pro-homos3xual groups and nations.

I don't even think sexual orientation is fixed at birth;barring hormonal problems,it is determined by enviromental influence.

Someone raised in a gay society can't be straight and vice versa,unless he gets exposed to the practice somehow.
How come he got married even though he knows he his gay?
To keep up appearance?Pfft.
His story doesn't add up.

Christians and to a large extend all religious folks are the biggest hypocrites to walk the earth.

ye all claim God created all things, God created man in his own image, bla bla bla...but spill fire and brimstone when you see someone different.

Newsflash, with the growth of liberalism and the expansion of capitalism 10 years from now...sexual orientation will be a non issue. Let us let gays be...at least...it allows for more women to go round.

Here you go Chief.

Gay Imams:

http://islamandhomosexuality.com/5-imams-openly-gay/

"When I was growing up queer and Muslim in Somalia, struggling to understand how my sexuality harmonized with my faith, I never knew there would be a day in my lifetime when there would be gay imams who were open about their sexuality and led their communities with honesty and dignity. That day is here. More and more there are openly gay imams popping up. Some you might know from the media, others might be new to you, but they do exist.
Some of these men have fully operational mosques, others are meeting a few days a week or even once a week, and some may not even call themselves “imam,” but what they all have in common is that they are spiritually leading LGBT Muslims into accepting themselves with the understanding that Islam is really free from homophobia.

1. UNITED STATES: Daayiee Abdullah
The concept of a gay imam is so foreign to the American mainstream psyche that Daayiee Abdullah has so far been featured all over the media in places like The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Al-Jazeera, among others. “Sometimes necessity is the mother of invention. And because of the necessity in our community, that’s why I came into this particular role,” he told Al-Jazeera, talking about how he was thrown into being an imam when all the local imams refused to give a gay Muslim the last rites, forcing the scholar to step in. “Being an openly gay imam and having been identified as such, I do get a lot of feedback and also kickback, but that’s OK. I think that when people are unfamiliar with things, they tend to have an emotional knee-jerk reaction to it.”

2. SOUTH AFRICA: Muhsin Hendricks
In the late 1990s, Muhsin Hendricks came out to his community and started Al Fitrah (The Natural), an organization he believed would help LGBT Muslims understand their natural sexuality is okay with Allah. Today, over 15 years later, his community has grown hugely. The Inner Circle, which is another organization he started, has organized many international conferences, published material, and allows him to participate in the overall discussion on Islam and homosexuality around the world. “We can never change the Koran, but we can change our interpretation of it,” he told Qantara, the German portal that works in the intercultural dialogue between Islam and Germany. “Today, we live in a different world than over a thousand years ago. We have to look at the Koran again and see how Islam can become a mercy for a part of the community that is suffering at the moment.”

3. FRANCE: Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed
When he was a teenager in Algeria, Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed became so depressed about the reconciliation between his sexuality and faith that he left Islam. Years later, armed with more information, he returned to the faith. This time around, he decided to make a change. “Today in France, gay teenagers are almost 15 times more likely than those who are straight to kill themselves because of their sexual orientation,” he wrote in The Guardian, explaining why he started a gay-friendly mosque in Paris. “Left deeply bruised by this fact, I decided to create an association in support of gay French Muslims, which launched in 2010. This eventually led me to plan an inclusive mosque in Paris – the first of its kind. It is a project born after a long personal journey.”

4. CANADA: El-Farouk Khaki
In 1993, El-Farouk Khaki started what ended up being the first support group for LGBT Muslims in Canada. Salaam Canada is now one of the major organizations in the Muslim community who are giving people alternative information to the traditional, and generally homophobic, perspective. The El-Tawhid Juma Circle, which is a gender-equal and LGBTQ affirming space for Friday prayers, was created in 2009, and Khaki has been one of the imams at their local mosque in Toronto. “It’s always a challenge for a gay person to come to terms with any faith,” he told The Star. “Why would God create gay men to be second-class citizens? Why did he create them only to have them condemned?”

5. GERMANY: Rahal Eks
Rahal Eks is the author of several memoirs, including the upcoming “On the Path of the Friend,” in which he details his encounter with Sufism and how it changed his life. Since the mid 1990s, he has been leading Sufi evenings on Thursdays in Morocco, Spain, and Germany. Like his teachers, who are from three different schools of Sufism, he never saw a conflict between sexuality and Islam. “I was very lucky by having encountered some Sufi teachers, whose ideas about Islam and homosexuality were rather progressive and accepting, who explained things to me in a different light than the average fossilized Mullah,” he told me in my book Queer Jihad. “Combined with my happy years living in the Arab World, and having enjoyed wonderful relationships, I managed to achieve a harmonic integrity of all my aspects where spirituality and sensuality form a holistic totality, not being fragmented or at war. Plus, I also love and accept myself, which is really a vital point and a must. So I think the main credit for achieving this must go to the Sufi Tradition, as it really is the main helper and positive impact.”

Note: There are several others in Muslim-majority countries, but they have been excluded from this list to make sure their safety is not compromised. If you are aware of them, please do not mention them in the comments section. Thank you."

Gay Hindus:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/yagnaram-ramanuja-dasan/love-has-given-unto-love_b_7695122.html

"Last month, I officiated at the marriage of two wonderful women. This was the first wedding I ever conducted, and it seemed fitting to me that it should be a same-sex marriage. The venue was a historic outdoor market in Philadelphia. Tourists would occasionally wander through as the mandap was being set up, consistently asking:

“What kind of event is this?” (“A wedding.”)

“Is this a WEDDING?!?!” (“...Yes.”)

“What’s that incense you’re burning? It’s so lovely!” (“It’s nag champa.”)

The kalashas were set up and dressed with silk, the area around the havan kund with was decorated with mango leaves and fresh flowers. To my right, several friends of the brides were chatting while making a backdrop from beautiful red saris and marigolds. The traditional sounds of nadaswaram were playing softly (as softly as nadaswaram can be, anyway) in the background. The brides processed in and sat down. The rites went smoothly.

Many of the guests remarked to me later that this wedding was so beautiful. I personally think most weddings are beautiful, but many of these individuals had never attended a Hindu wedding before, so I understood that they were specifically commenting on the beauty of this context. Hindu weddings certainly are stunning affairs, with lots of bright colors, fresh flowers, the sounds of the ritual fire burning and the scent of incense. For me, as a queer person, the beauty of vivah samskara (marriage rites) is in the meaning and the context. People like me are still denied the right to marry in many places around the world, and so to not only witness, but also officiate, this marriage was especially joyful. What I performed for this couple, and what I will describe briefly below, is a form of marriage called gandharva vivah, a form of marriage that in antiquity was practiced by third-gender or queer individuals*. Gandharva vivah is especially beautiful, I believe, not just because of its usage by third gender people, but also because many of the prayers transcend the patriarchal structures of traditional marriage. These rites may change slightly across different traditions, but the core portions remain the same.

Preliminary rites are first performed like the cleansing of the space to make it pure and suitable for worship and prayers for the removal of obstacles. After the sankalpam, or dedication, is chanted, the familial lineages of both partners will be chanted aloud for all to hear, which is a way to honor each set of ancestors. The parents of either individual will come and pour water over a coconut held by the couple, symbolizing their blessings over this marriage. Then the spouses-to-be will perform what is my favorite part of the wedding rites, hṛdaya sparśa. The couple faces each other. They touch each others heart, and recite a mantra:

Who has given this heart and to whom?

Love has given unto love.

Love is the giver, love is the receiver.

Love has entered the ocean of love.

I receive you through love.

Oh love, this heart is yours."

Glad to have added to your education this afternoon.
all these countries you have just mentioned are mostly Christian /jewish countries! Don't you think these religions that have always fought Islam have started planting their gay apostles to pose as imams? They will try as hard as they can but they can never put out the light of Allah!!!!!

To be able, on a daily basis tell gay people God love us just the way we are is a humbling experience and I thank God for calling me.

GAY means God Adores You, God Accepts You, God Affirms You.

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.’

Psalm 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

If I say you're ignorant now, you will say I'm abusing you, but think about it. How are we more preoccupied with what two consenting adults of the same sex choose to do in private?

A vindictive society can never move forward, but one with equity, justice and fairness will progress. It begins with recognising people's rights and respecting those rights.

This mindset is constantly on the lookout for gays and will spot them everywhere.

Especially glimpsed in the mirror.

This is a typical small-minded, HYSTERICAL, obsessed and small-minded African response to gay people.

Why do we care? Why are we so occupied by this? How can the gays possibly affect us

Paedophiles are evil and a menace to society.

What makes you think all gays are paedophiles, anyway? Do you know any personally

If I had sons I wouldn't be wasting much time imagining predatory battymen lurking everywhere. Besides, we don't attend church so the primary vector of that nastiness would not be part of our lives anyway.

I only have daughters, and I have serious concerns about the huge amount of real sexual violence our young women face (a topic we African men avoid like the plague! angry angry angry).

oh,let me enlighten you...perhaps you dropped from the sky and don't know what's happening in the world around you!

Just like there are homosexuals attracted to adults of same gender,there are sexual perverts who practise their perverted acts on children in the same gender as themselves! I dare say,this goes a long way in influencing the orientation of these children as they grow.

So quit this show of ignorance&face reality of the question i asked earlier.

oga I only asked a question...

if gays decide to hit themselves in private, of course itz non of my biz.

But for gays to come out boldly to the public is an insult to our natural instincts. Imagine a gay approaching a guy who is straight, that will insult his phsycology and cause emotional trauma.

What of gays adopting an innocent child, that child would never grow up to live a normal live.

Two men kissing in public or on TV insults our natural instincts, it is traumatic, unacceptable and I think gays are rly unfair to us.

With more gays in society, our generations wud be ruined as we would ve forgotten what it takes to be male and female.


that's why we hate them, we'll find them and deal with them without mercy
