Pervert - To lead somebody away from good: to lead somebody or something away from what is considered good, normal, moral, or proper.

+14You obviously don't understand that we don't all agree on what is considered normal and good. To me two people that love each other is good and their sexual orientation doesn't matter. To you it's all wrong if you see a woman who loves a woman or a man a man. I just see two people in love who should have equal rights to that love as anyone else.
But anyway, there's nothing wrong with gays and lesbians getting married, as it allows two people to share in their love and let others know they chose to unify themselves through marriage.
Granted, I don't care about marriage, heterosexual or homosexual, as I don't see a point to it other than some of the legal benefits one would receive from it. But if people wish to marry, let them.
And for the record, yes, I am gay myself.
Look, I'm not here to actually argue this, as there shouldn't be an argument. Marriage is a legal union of two people, and under the Constitution, no person shall be denied their civil rights by anyone. I guarantee you, in a few years, those 30 states who denied us our civil rights, those numbers will change, and then the entire country will legalize marriage equality because it's wrong to deny someone their rights.
I'm baffled you're arguing this. Your not even making any sense half the time. Gay teachers cannot make kids gay. Allowing gay people to marry will not make other people gay, or even change society much. The only thing that would change, is that more people will get married. That's about it.
Oh, and again, whoever claims we are trying to make ourselves the norm is a bit of a moron. It's ridiculous to think that's what we're fighting for, and it's even more ridiculous to think that could even happen. I hate repeating myself, but we know we're a minority.
The only place Jesus really addressed or even hinted at sexuality is found in Matthew chapter 19. Here you find Jesus, the disciples and the Pharisees discussing this very topic of marriage between males and females. It is true that God created males and females and instituted marriage. But in Matthew 19 Jesus adds another thing that many ignore or overlook because it doesn't apply to them:
Matthew 19:11-12
Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."
Typically a eunuch is defined as a castrated male. This is incorrect. Castration means to remove the testicles (that were already there) or emasculate. If all eunuchs were castrated males then why would Jesus say that "some were born that way?" A eunuch is a man who has no desire or ability to have sexual relations with a woman. These men were commonly used to protect the harems. Since the Word of God is for everyone we can apply t...

Typically a eunuch is defined as a castrated male. This is incorrect. Castration means to remove the testicles (that were already there) or emasculate. If all eunuchs were castrated males then why would Jesus say that "some were born that way?" A eunuch is a man who has no desire or ability to have sexual relations with a woman. These men were commonly used to protect the harems. Since the Word of God is for everyone we can apply the spiritual concept found in Galatians 3:28 where the Apostle Paul says: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Therefore, a eunuch can be male or female in this passage.
Jesus addressed three types of eunuchs.
1. Those born that way. (That's people like me who are born gay.)
2. Those made that way by men. (Those castrated or those sexually abused people who choose to be gay as a result of this abuse rather than because it is their natural sexual affinity.)
3. Those who elect not to have a sexual relationship for the sake of the kingdom. (For example a priest or nun. This group makes the decision on their own.)
So here, our Lord Jesus states that not everyone will marry according to the custom as in male and female. He also said that not everyone can accept this. He says that those that can accept it should accept it. Can you accept what Jesus said? I can.
Leviticus 18:22, "Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."
Romans 1:18-32, "18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather...

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."
I can not feed them? D:
The pervert is one who would use the force of law and pretensions to 'morality' to remove the hope of a segment of the population who is desirous of it to have such wholesome relationships, and to stand by idly -- nay, cheering -- as the ostracization and dejection they suffered at the pervert's hands lead them into baser lifestyles, if not into self-harm.
