Mamari, you are so right, I had never thought on that before. Maybe we have to finish off gay people… Altough… what would happen if everybody in the world were females? or even worst! if there were only men!!! Off with their heads too!!

Is it possible that God or Mother nature (or whatever rules this world) makes people “to feel gay” as an answer to an overpopulated world? whatever the reason is, I respect it, I don´t understand why heterosexual people have to be concern or critical about it.

It’s just a small piece of a human personality witch could means nothing, unless you are interested in have sexual relations with this particular person.

Regards. emiliano

Don´t you think that comparing homosexuality with “stealing, murdering or consumming drugs” is an exaggeration?

and I don´t think Øyvor was insulting anyone, he has been very nice, or at least he wasn´t sending people to jail just for kissing another person in public. ..want to send people to jail for kissing. what a world!!!

but I accept your apologies, thanks for that

@ Emiliano

I agree with you: generally I don´t like to think in a sexual relation between man and man o woman and woman, but it´s because I don´t like to think in the sexual relations of other people, men with women included. It would be a little weird, awkward, even disgusting, in most of the cases, don´t you think? ; )

sorry guys, but very sad with some comments, now I wish I were homosexual, really, and to be pride of me and my feelings, (thanks to Betty and others for changing the mood)

something to remember: intolerance is a hint of fear

@ Emilliano

I was and it will be a pleasure to discuss with you. I agree that all polician are all hypocrite.

@Kim

I’m really affected by your comment. However don’t you guys think that Kim’s parallelism between homosexual’s rights and black’s civil rights in USA an exaggeration?? In fact this remark lead us to my first comment’s question, where I ask “Whether one’s born or become homosexual??”

Let’s just look foward together to solve another problems around the world.

@Betty,

Your right when you said that before Kim arrive, the debate were kind of biaised.
Thank also to remind us the great singer Elton John. I realy like this guy, particulary his song SACRIFICE.

By the way, in the world of homosexual, there also another person who I have enorm RESPECT. It’s the GREAT italian painter Leonardo Da Vinci. Apparently, even the genre of The Mona Lisa, his masterpiece, is unknown.

PS: I apoligize to everyone who was hurt by my comments.

My Bests!

Up to and until your post, we only had messages from non-gay people, and it did not help providing a balanced view for a discussion.

I used to live in England which is considered a very developed Western country but it still has not legalized same sex marriage.

In 2004 the Civil Partnership Act was passed and came into effect in December 2005. It created civil partnerships, which gave same-sex couples who entered into them the same rights and responsibilities of marriage.

There are some very famous and popular people who are openly-gay in England – Elton John the musician/singer-songwriter/record producer is one of them.

He and his Canadian boyfriend David Furnish, a former advertising executive and now filmmaker entered a civil partnership on 21 December 2005 – the very first day that registrations for civil partnership were accepted in England and Wales.

May I quote Emiliano’s saying above: ‘I would not like to have a children homosexual but not by my feelings about this matter, no, that is not the point. I should be worried or concerned because life would be complicated for him or for her’.

Emiliano’s message is so precise, gay couples have to live a more complicated life. The world has only begun to wake up to cry for the world to recognize homosexuality is genuine and cater for it in our society.

If we read the wikipedia’s English page about ‘Same-sex marriage’, we will find that Homosexuality is legal in some countries, although not every one of those countries perform Same-sex marriage; whereas Homosexuality is illegal in some countries, some countries even impose ‘Death penalty’ as a punishment.

I would not like to see anyone being discriminated against, and I hate to see anyone being hurt or punished due to the reason that they are ‘different’ in their sexuality. Countries in the whole world are gradually changing their law to cope with this new identity, and no one can stop or reverse this changing process.

Thank you, Kim, and all the best.

thank you very much for your welcome!

I don´t like parades or carnivals too.
I like nature, sports, music and especially my family.

And I like learning, for example learning english. This is a very excellent web page to do this.
Thank you very much Lucy Tse, Jeff McQuillan, Warren Ediger and all the people from everywhere in the world who write in this blog.
It is very interessting to read different views of a topic from Brasil, Spain, Iran, China, Russia, Hongkong, Norway … …

Best wishes
Kim

Let me wish you all the best for you and your whole family and also I would like to add that your comment is a good
example of what we were talking about.

As you ask for a question I would like to reply it.
I don´t have an opinion about carnivals, or parades as I don´t ever use to go.
May be i am not a person who enjoys being surrounded by a huge multitude so I prefer to go some other quiet
evens like a concert or a theater show.
Consequently to my character I don´t like to go these kind of shows and my opinion is of no value about the
matter we were talking about.

Kim I hope you´ll be here more frequently as you are really very welcome.

emiliano

a respectful discussion. This is not always given for this theme.

Let me ask, how do you like … for example carnival in rio de janeiro.

I think homosexuelity is a part of nature. We see heterosexuality and homosexuality in all nations … in different times … . We could see it in nature by animals.
Heterosexuality is the majority, but there is always a minority.

For some religions it is ok, for other religions it is not ok. There are many different religions in the world.
Many different societies. Many different people. We all life in one world.

What makes a person? Is it alone his or her sexuality?
I think no. Our sexuality is only a small part of us. One little aspect of every person.

I life in a very fine family: parents, parents-in-law, brothers, sisters-in-law, nices and nephews, cousins … my partner and I have built a house and have got three children … in the morning we go to our jobs … we help our parents … we celebrate with our friends … and we are a same-sex couple

It is a very great feeling to go to a place like Disney World at the Gay Days with your partner and your children in red shirts and you know: this day nobody will bother you or your children with his or her special opinion. There are normal people with their families around you, which respect this little point of my life … my love. You musn´t be careful for this one day. One day you are “the majority”. It feels great.

I think heterosexual people couldn´t feel this difference. Perhaps someone like Mrs Rosa Parks?
Yes, perhaps there are some parallels to black people in USA or Europe 50 years ago.

I whish all of you a healthy life. Full of love, with your families and friends, in a peaceful world.

Kim
