I don't want this to to turn into a huge religious debate, but is it okay if I put my two cents into here about what I want to say about all of this?

Alright, I'm Catholic, and I believe in God. In fact, I love God so much, but honestly, I don't care if someone is gay, because everyone should be accepted for who they are. How is being gay going against God? He said he loves us all, and I know he said 'homosexuals' won't 'inherit the kingdom of Heaven' but let's just all think: the bible was written YEARS ago, where people back then, had different views about things. Time has changed, and I think it's time for more people to be accepting of people. For all we know, the people who wrote the bible, could've added their two cents into there, about what they feel about gay people, but I find absolutely nothing wrong with gay people, and I also don't think it's a sin to be gay. It's like saying it's a sin to be yourself, which SHOULDN'T BE THE CASE. People who are gay, or bullied and hurt so much, even some of them committing suicidal. I don't think it's their choice to be gay, that if they could, they would escape from all the pain, but it's not. You can't just choose to be gay, like some people above here, said.

My grandmother's best friend is gay, and he is a strong Christian who loves God, so much. In fact, he saved my grandmother's life, this year. Him being gay doesn't make him a horrible person, he's not going to hell. Just because someone is gay, doesn't mean that they don't love God.

Jesus preached about love, acceptance, and equality. He never said anything about people being gay a "sin." I think we should all love one another, and accept each other. Love is love, no matter if you're straight, gay, or bisexual.

I would say more about how I feel about this, but I don't want it to turn into a religious debate.
