interesting thread BunnyFooFoo <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <hr /></blockquote>You are right.....same rules; who cares. So why write a news story about it? My best friend did not have a date to our junior prom, so she asked a friend of ours who was a senior; he is gay and I think even the nuns knew. He had not come out yet, but we all knew. They wore matching tuxedos and it was one of the funniest moments in high school.

Regardless, one good thing about homosexuality is that it greatly reduces the risk of teen pregnancy! :D

'SAME SEX proms'? I remember the 'good ol' days' when worrying about 'getting SOME SEX after the prom' was the 'hot topic'..... :rolleyes:

Welcome to the rapid decline of morality in America. It appears that we are going the way of every great nation before us and we are doing it exactly the same way...through immorality.

Those that engage in it and those that encourage it are no different, they are both part of the problem.Now that we are teaching that its "OK" in the schools, would anyone care to guess how long it'll be before we implode ?

So, watchman, I suppose your next post will include conclusive evidence that homosexuality is the catalyst of our demise?..

Can anyone prove that accepting homosexuality as 'normal' has actually HELPED America...or any OTHER country for that matter?

n567

06-13-2003, 12:47 AM

Doesn't particularly matter. It neither hurts us or helps us.

Now, smoking and drinking on the other hand, we allow that as normal behavior, and it hurts our nation as a whole...

IF....a nation were to adopt homosexuality as its sole approved form of relationships(not too far off, since heterosexuality is considered offensive in today's PC world), pray tell, HOW would that country continue to GROW?

<blockquote>quote:<hr />a nation were to adopt homosexuality <hr /></blockquote>Hey, Shooter, how about you look at it THIS way.

What right does the GOVERNMENT have to say what relationships are "approved"?

I'd rather not have anyone tell me who I could or couldn't date.

Wow, that's really quite a limb you're going out on, Shooter; I don't know about Tennessee, but heterosexuality is absolutely flourishing here on th west coast! So don't worry, we got you guys and guys (gals and gals too) covered! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Yeah, I never realized TN was such a hotbed for homosexuality -- I've vacationed in other "gay friendly" places (Key West, Province Town, and San Francisco) and had a great time (despite being straight). Maybe I should check out TN too? :)

My, what did I start? I sent the article to my sisters and brother. I have not heard from my brother. One sister said we would talk about that and parenting questions I had when I see her next month and the other basically told me that it will be tough to hide baby bunny away from the world out there and "times, they are a changin'" and I need to remain open minded and keep my ears open and talk to her when she has questions or faces situations that are not the norm of society, let her know how I feel about certain things, teach values by example, but know i may need to accept that she does not see things the way I do.
Pretty good advice, I think. It is funny, before I was a parent and I read stories of this nature (whether it had to do with homosexuals or not), I never gave them a second glance. Now, I am concerned that my Bunny will be seeing so much stuff that is totally against the value system my husband and I were brought up in. That is what is being lost in this day and age....good old fashioned values. Lord help me as she grows up in the crazy world.

You hit that one right on the head...
not only are they being lost, but they are being looked at as "hostile" by many...

Lord help me as she grows up in the crazy world.

May the Lord help you both...cause you're gonna need all the help you can get.

Oh Good Grief, Charlie Brown;it is not who they are taking to prom...I could give a rats butt if they take a monkey to prom. Calling this a trend is ridiculous; a persons sexual preference is not a fad that passes. If these teens are genuinely homosexuals and they are brave enough to express that..great. Dying your hair magenta and piercing your lip to your ear is a trend....dating a member of the same sex is not. True Homosexuality is not something that passes with the time like a style of music or a hair style. So now, when my niece takes a girl to prom, she can just tell my brother.."Oh come on dad...everybody is doing it! Lighten up." It is all a matter of lebeling; when we label homosexuality or experimenting with it as a trend, then most teenagers may just want to try it. They so love to conform. When my nephew pierced his tongue, my sister almost called the National Guard, she was so upset. I stressed it was a trend and he would tire of it more than likely, which he did, 2 years later.
I did not mean for this to be taken to this point..someone close this stupid topic...it is pointless to even mention the word homosexual and the loss of values in this country without being labeled a gay-basher or religious fanatic.
I'm Out...

#2. sex with animals or with dead people (beastiality).
#3. in Minnesota its technically against the law for married/unmarried women to have intercourse with anyone unless she is married and its her husband, but that law does not apply to the husband/man having sex with another woman.
#4. Criminal sexual conduct of juveniles....(consenting juviniles-two 15 year olds can't have sex..... so the law says)......
#5. Prostitution (illegal here)

I'm Out...<hr /></blockquote>You are absolutely correct about that. At the risk of offending dkiefner, nickg posted an article in another thread about a high school student who was forbidden to wear a sweatshirt that had the statement "Straight Pride". The reason given is that it was, or could be, offensive to gay students. Now dave was right...the article was two years old, but the point that I'm making is that if gay couples can display their "pride" in being homosexual then why can't straight students express pride in being straight?
I'm not against homosexuals, but I am against homosexuality. My faith leaves very little doubt about how God feels about this type of behavior. I, too, have had friends that have declared themselves to be homosexuals. I've explained to them why I feel it's wrong and while I continue to care for them, I don't associate with them anymore. To me it's like your friend telling you that he cheats on his wife, enjoys it, and plans on continuing to do it. It's just wrong.

Homosexual people do date people of the same sex, i guess they could go to prom together if they wanted to...:confused: :) Sure little gay johnny wont be the most popular student among his peers for taking little jimmy to prom..... :D His classmates will give him h#ll.:cool:

I dont have a problem with gay people the least bit and its their business what they do. And if someone else dosent agree with something going on in someone elses life then they just need to get over it.

I, too, have had friends that have declared themselves to be homosexuals. I've explained to them why I feel it's wrong and while I continue to care for them, I don't associate with them anymore.

This is the reason why I left organized religion years ago. I went to churches where people were looked down upon for everything from the clothes they wore to the jobs they had to their family background and everything else in between. Never once did these people really bother to get to "know" these folks, much less walk around the block in their shoes. They made assumptions and judgements and declared them fit or unfit by their own definition, not by the example Jesus set. I'm no perfect Christian, in fact I'm probably far from it. But I try to treat people the way I want to be treated. If someone who I cared for and claimed as a friend, came to me and told me he or she was gay, the last thing I would do is walk away from that friendship. I would like to think that the love I have for friends and family is not "conditional" (as in, I'll only love you if...). While I might not subscribe to the gay lifestyle, it is not my place to judge.

I wonder, 757, would you just walk away from your own offspring, if he or she came to you and said, "I'm gay"? Or perhaps in seeing and living with you, knowing your feelings, would he or she just drift away from you in silence, unable to face your disapproval, anger, and dismissal from your life over the "choice" in lifestyle they made, instead of the acceptance from a parent who loves their child without condition.

I worry more for society with this pervasive attitude of personal judgements, bigotry, and in some cases out and out hate, far more than I worry about same sex couples going to the prom together.

There is a big difference in Judging and Accepting. I do know a lot of homosexual people and I do not accept what they choose to do as right. I can not comprimise the things I truly believe in or they wouldn't be the things I truly believe in. I think that people have a right to make a choice about who they want to include in their lives and how, but I do not have to accept it and I have every right to say that I disagree with their lifestyle. I object to having their views forced on me in the name of tollerance and acceptance. I get really tired of people talking about Christianity and how it REQUIRES acceptacne of all people. I hate to break it to folks, but Christ specifically called Homosexuality an "Abomination" and those cities of Sodom and Gamora...where the "Men turned to men and the women had turned to women" We all remember those. Before anyone else goes on talking about the Bible requiring us to accept homosexuality, please read it!

First you are assuming we are all Christian.....baaaddd assumption.

Second, there are many things in the bible that we no longer follow literally. To me love is love. There is very little in the world and I am not in any position to pass judgement on anyone.

As for prom dates...I see no problem with who you want to take.

In my opinion, I think that homosexuality is wrong. In the same breathe I don't agree with discrimination or harassment towards homosexuals.

In my opinion, what is also a shame, is those that think it is wrong (with the assumption they don't agree with discrimination or harassment towards them) are being viewed in some areas as racist hateful people. Gimme a break.!:rolleyes: In my opinion, you are free to believe what you want about the issue of homosexuals but don't pass judgement on those of us that think its wrong. You don't have to win a debate to have merit to your opinion.

You have their views forced on you just like we have Christian views forced upon us. This is the United States, you have many freedoms, but one freedom you don't have is to not be offended.
