This is the height of lazy cowardice. You make a bold claim - that there are up to 1500 species that practice homosexuality in nature. I did not ask you to list them all. I did not ask you to list half, or a quarter of them. I did not even ask for a hundred, or fifty, or ten. I did not even ask for five. I asked for three. And all you can do is refer me to Google.

You are obviously intellectually dishonest in the extreme.

Homosexuality is nothing but a sexual orientation, an attraction.

A child is born, and upon hitting puberty, discovers that he or she is attracted to the same gender.

Confused at first, they wondered why they had no romantic attraction to the opposite gender.

They feel differently, and without a support system they end up isolating themselves, trying to figure out the hows and whys.

They never created themselves, nor do they have control over this attraction.

But homophobia, propagated by religion, leads them to hate themselves, to the extent of suffering from internalised homophobia.

This is when a homosexual fight and bullies other homosexuals to avoid suspicion.

And they can be very convincing.

In nature, we have counted over 1500 species that engage in homosexuality.

Unfortunately, homophobia exists in one, humans.

The beauty of life lies in our differences. You can't hate someone because of his race, beliefs or sexuality.

Live and let live. Love is love. God, the Universe, nature.

Whatever we choose to call it, we are all at their mercy.

Love is love.

I asked a pastor condemning gay a simple question; when did you choose being attracted to women and he didn't answer the question, instead he diverted. One thing people fail to understand is that one doesn't choose how the body react to his environment. Because I am attracted to women doesn't make me better than another attracted to same s*x. We have evil deeds that harm and hurts people but we decide to focus on people's s*xuality. My advice to all the gay out there: s*x is private and should be kept private. Stop telling the whole world you love same s*x.

That is simply not true. Can you kindly show me cases in point?

In doing this, please be careful to note a critical difference. Homosexuality is the preference for same sex sexual activity. We do not see animals that have such a preference - what we see is animals who, in extreme or unique circumstances, will "hump" anything. So for example, when my dog is on heat, he will even clamber onto my legs and begin to make sexual motions. He will do same to almost any moving thing in that moment. This is actually something more akin to masturbation than any kind of bestiality on its part.

In the same way, animals on heat can be observed exhibiting similar behavior. This is distinct and different from having a special preference for those of their own sex.

Again, another thing to be distinguished from same sex union is friendship. Some animals develop close bonds with others of their kind - and in many cases with completely different species. Those bonds are to be distinguished from a desire for the flesh of those of its own species and same sex.

Both examples above are not the same thing as homosexuality.

God will not change His principles to suit your wishes.



If you like, wake up tomorrow and say you are sexually attracted to an object, God's truth remains.


He still loves you and He wants you to get to know Him.


I hope you understand, you are the one that needs to bend your will to suit God.

This is stupid. It is elementary that he who asserts must prove. No serious person goes about making stupendous claims and then asking others to go and verify them.

I could just as well make a claim that there are animals who practice necrophilia, I could even say up to 10, 000 species do so. And if asked to mention just one, I would then accuse such a person of being lazy because he ought to use Google.

That is just cowardly and daft.

Wow,are you in denial? Moreover, homosexuality isn't a sexual preference, it's not chosen, it's an orientation created by different factors.

From the looks of things, it's like you are in complete denial as you are looking for proof to assert your claim but I'm not gonna go in on a banter with you because guess what? You have no power neither are you in a position to change what has already been set by those who've worked on the field. I would rather accept facts from the people who have devoted their time,will power and knowledge to carry out that research than from you who have little to no knowledge on the field. Have a good day

What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality?

God created humans to engage in sex only within the arrangement of marriage between a male and a female. (Genesis 1:​27, 28; Leviticus 18:22; Proverbs 5:​18, 19)

The Bible condemns sexual activity that is not between a husband and wife, whether it is homosexual or heterosexual conduct. (1 Corinthians 6:​18) This includes intercourse, handling another person’s genitals, and engaging in oral or anal sex.

While the Bible disapproves of homosexual acts, it does not condone hatred of homosexuals or homophobia. Instead, Christians are directed to “respect everyone.”​—1 Peter 2:​17, Good News Translation.

Can a person be born homosexual?

The Bible doesn’t comment directly on the biology of homosexual desires, though it acknowledges that we are all born with a tendency to go against what God commands. (Romans 7:​21-​25)

Rather than focus on the cause of homosexual desires, however, the Bible prohibits homosexual acts.

How to please God despite having same-sex urges.

The Bible says: “Don’t be controlled by your body. Kill every desire for the wrong kind of sex.” (Colossians 3:5, Contemporary English Version) To kill wrong desires, which lead to wrong actions, you need to control your thinking. If you regularly fill your mind with wholesome thoughts, you can more readily dismiss wrong desires. (Philippians 4:8; James 1:​14, 15)

While you may struggle greatly at first, it can become easier. God promises to help you to “be made new in the force actuating your mind.”​—Ephesians 4:​22-​24.

The same struggle is faced by millions with heterosexual desires who wish to conform to the Bible’s standards. For example, those who are single with little prospect of marriage or who are married to a partner who is unable to function sexually choose to control their sexual urges despite any temptations they might face. They are able to live happily, and those with same-sex urges can do so as well if they truly want to please God.​—Deuteronomy 30:19.
