i believe in universal love because i have lesbian friends who have been a happy couple since around year 1999 when i myself got married, until this day they are still together living life as a couple.

Define 'universal love'

AGREE.

Which part of that statement are you agreeing to?

A friend has a pair of fraternal twin boys. The father told me that \"one of them is obviously the more \"garang\" one, playing with power rangers and such; the other one plays with feminine toys like dolls and hair clips.\" He seem to accept that one of them might be gay, but puts it this way ... \"there is a lot of bad/evil in this world... being gay is not one of them\". His only worry is the prejudice that the child might face from the society. He keeps an open mind about the situation.


I have worked with gay (single, in a relationship, and even married ones); I have worked with lesbians... I'd like to believe that everyone is different and is gifted in their own way. Everyone should have the freedom of choice (and sometimes, it isn't even their choice!). Everyone deserves equal respect. My current colleagues think I am too liberal.

I worked with people who frequent massage parlours for extras, or looking out for ONS. I also have no problem working with them. As much as I respect them as a person, I do not agree with their promiscuous behaviour, or am I liberal.
Think they are separate matters.

As a Christian, I struggle with this topic too although I do not have any homosexual friends. I struggle intellectually on how to deal with it in the event that my kid turned out to be gay some day.


The bible clearly said it is wrong and a sin. My pastor said to condemn the sin but forgive the sinner. It seems much more complicated to do - how do you do that ? Homosexuality is not like being a murderer or a rapist. Those are criminal acts and easy to condemn but homosexuality is different.

There is also the yet question of nature vs nurture question as well as all men are created equal in the eyes of God as all men are sinners.

I think I’ll probably take this philosophical black hole to my grave.

I don't have friends who swing that way. My closest encounter is probably manga with yaoi genre. However, I believe I won't discriminate.


Someone asked what if it happens to your offsprings?

Of course I won't actively encouraged since I would very much prefer to see the faces of my grandchildren. However, in the scenario that if really swing that way when grow up, I will calmly accept. Realistically speaking, if a couple strongly believe they are destined for each other, no amount of parents' objection will work anyway. Will only drive child away, right?

My friends thought I'm :siao: However, I believe true love is regardless of gender. If the significant other chosen is of good character (this is important!), can prioritise and treasure my child forever (must be in exclusive relationship, resolve to spend whole life together, not play play kind), I will give them my blessings. I'm a romantic at heart. Please don't flame me, just my personal opinion :siam:


And someone asked if spouse swing that way?

Well, that is absolutely not acceptable!
Mentioned earlier, relationship must be exclusive.

I am against it & I thought I would discriminate.
But in the end, when I got to know some, I couldn't. In a way, they behave like us, the 'girl' will experience jealousy, wanna dress nicely etc like in any relationship.

And yes, I am still against it especially those who chose to do it. As for those who are 'born & wired' in that manner, if given a choice, i believe they would rather be just like the majority. So I have told myself (& my children) to try & be more open to them.
