I'm gonna take this topic seriously, because a few of my friends came out to me; and most of them were thrown out of their house with bruises. Even if its on the EOF, lets take this shit seriously..
I am a straight individual, a religious person--who supports gay rights. They've been discriminated enough; and even if religion is against it; they would also be against hatred. Homosexuals being hated; killed; beaten; etc, which kind of God would want that on his children?

Never take religion into any discussion about gay rights. Cherry picking from any book be it old or new is not how it should go. Also depending on interpretation, you can say either or with the books from most of the religions in the world, be it Islam, Christianity or Hinduism.

ps. Gay rights are something you don't actually lose anything by allowing them compared to say, taxing bad habits such as smoking, where the people who smoke lose and the people who don't smoke, win. It's like saying giving everyone in the US equal rights regardless of skin color made everyone suddenly black. Seriously.

I agree with Qtis, but I brought it in because people use that to explain WHY they are against it, and pretty much bash up the whole religion. Not all Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims are against homos. Just like not all of them are evil.

That's not what I intended to mean, just used it as short for homosexuals on my iPad.. And don't generalize that's what Islam promotes; I'm a Muslim that doesn't believe in that. Edit: and before you quote the Quran via an online source; don't do that. How about an actual hard book English translation? What's on the internet isn't really translated correctly. It's made from people that are islamophobics.

^^This, and so much this. I was very anti-gay-rights until the Iowa Methodist Annual Conference this year, when I kind of sort of had a "God moment" and realised basically what ComeTurismO just said.

Also, for any Christians (or Muslims, Jews, or Buddhists, as they are highlighted in this book as well) that are struggling with this topic as well as quite a few others, you should check out a book called "When Christians Get it Wrong" by Adam Hamilton (he was the guest speaker at the conference and I read a few of his books)

    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol
    +3
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves
