This is what my other post is addressing, while I can agree that the bible seems to be against this, it also supports other things which we now say are wrong. This points to the bible being used to enforce cultural mores of the day, not just being an avenue of God's word. So, I'm still waiting for how people make the distinction between slavery being wrong (contrary to the bible) and homosexuality being wrong (not contrary).
What other things does the bible surport that is wrong to humans? |

I'm not an expert on that exact issue - things the bible supports that is harmful for humans, but there are others, specifically the role of women:
1) Women should always have their hair covered in church - any uncovered woman was to be severely punished for being evil
2) Women were to be silent in the church - ie no talking at all, they did not participate in roles held (today) by preachers
3) We should live under the governance of worldly governments, even when they are evil or wrong - clearly, almost nobody holds to this - all the revolutions in the past 100 years a re proof
4) The "proper" attire for men and women; the way most of us dress today would probably cause many of us to be cast out of early churches or at least strongly convinced to dress otherwise.
If you want more, let me know and I'll take some time to compile a more extensive list. . or at least find somoene who has already done so.

This thread has been on for quite some time, so I don't know if my opinions would make any difference and if the thread starter would read it. Hey Tdave, It seems that there're many voices telling you what to do and what not to do. I'm not gay, so I do not how you're feeling or any such thing. But, seeing as you are in a dilemma I would like you to weigh your two loves and see which is more important. No matter what these peeps tell you, the crux of the matter is that Nigeria does not welcome homosexuality with open arms. Even I am no supporter of homosexuality--and I understand most liberal values, plus, I school in the US. Now, think about your parents, who, no doubt, you love, and who love you in return. Think about your family. Really focus on how much you feel for them versus your desires. If your desires weigh more than your love for them, at least for the moment, you can tell them, but be prepared for the consequences. Most importantly though, BREAK UP WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND. I honestly wish you wouldn't take up that lifestyle, but if it is what makes you happy, then my advice would do nothing to stop you, will it?  You are an adult. It's your life, and I respect that. Now, does it mean I hate you becaue I think yoúr lifestyle-to-be is wrong? Nope. I'm too lazy for that. Apart from your "gay" side, you might just be a guy that I would love to talk to. And speaking of labeling yourself "gay." I want to tell you something. You are a son, brother, friend and competent person to many people. Calling yourself "gay" and reducing you to some sexual phenomena is degrading. YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING. You are a Nigerian. Your other identities are so much more powerful just, this. I almost gag when people call themselves "gay" or "straight." As for others in this thread, here are my views: 1) "Homosexuality" is not a choice. 2) "Homosexuality" is abnormal. I don't care about gender theories other ideologies and how antiquated same-sex "love" is. It's not normal (with an aim to reproduce). Oh sure, it's "natural". Sickness is "natural" (gosh I'm beginning to hate the word), in fact, everything good and bad in a living being is "natural". if it isn't then why is it there? (The question should be what do we do to help these people? Not--how do we organize campaigns to let them be whatever they want? If, decades ago, people were open about this and were willing to talk things out and provide treatment and see it for what it was, and then gave moral support, today would have been a different story. "Gay"people, in a sense, were so kept to the dark that they felt pushed against the wall. They had to react. Now, today, we see the fruit). Now we actually glorifying it, wow. A few decades ago gender and sex were well defined, and now amongst the elite, there is not such thing as a male or a female. Society done it and such perspective need to shed off. In a few years more definitions would be made, and even bestiality would be alright. It's only a matter of re-defining what a human and an animal is, and re-examining the "true meaning"of a victim in a sexual relationship. Soon reproduction as a part of science would no longer need to be taught. Taboos today, acceptance tomorrow. I pray never to live to see those days. I could write more, but I've written before on this. So I'll stop here. |

firstly, why do you even have a girlfriend if u knew u was already gay, have u even properly experimented with girls more than one girl,

Properly experimented?
What do you mean by this? Are girls to be cut open and examined? Fed different drugs to observe their reactions? Dropped from high places to measure the affects of gravity?

No need for trial & error. Some things you know in your heart. Sexual preference has no dress rehearsal. |

Please go ahead and tell you parents and others that you are gay. that you like another guy inserting his d**k into your ass like drilling machine drilling for shit! It's really disgusting! You were not born gay. You gayed yourself in.

It's fine if you are gay. As for all the anti-gay comments, I blame the Church and the Mosque. These religions must be put to an end.

Don't be a 'down low'. That is a black american term for for closeted gay men who marry and date women to cover the secret. This is the primary reason why black women are the new face of aids. They are unsuspectingly engaging in sex with 'down lows." This is so vicious and unfair.
Sit down and talk to the girl and let her know what you are and you are now engaging in homosexual activity. Let her decide if she wants to married or involved with a gay dude.
You must be careful how you approach it. I think I would have a nervous breakdown. But she needs to know. Let her move on with her life and possibly find a straight man. Most importantly, just drop her like she is nothing. That will cause her more pain. Please tell her. It is not fair to her to think you are something you are not.
I am aware that the Big men in Nigeria are gays. They prey upon the desperate young boys and men. I know someone who was accosted by a big man of one of the banks in Lagos. Actually, the one an article written about them in one of Nigeria's magazine. I know the editor personally.
I am sure there are many Nigeria women, for enough money, would be willing marry you and bare your children. I understand that lesbianism is big in Nigeria too. Y'all can hook up.

Larger_20, by asking for a vote, I hope you are not proposing tyranny of the majority. Just because you do not agree, does not give you the right to oppose something, especially when it does not affect you in any way.

How did you get to this point? What is your motivation? Think very well this is new to our society. If you are sure go and tell your family. They will make noise about it, try to get change your mind and some will reject you. This is normal. But at the end of the day it is you and you alone. dad, Mum, brothers and Sisters can not run your life for you. I hope you do not like babies  Anyway if you want it go for it. Peace |

It is not new to our society. Homosexuality has always existed. It even exist in animals. The only difference here, is that Nigerians don't normally talk about it.
