“What does gay mean?”
A person who loves, in a very special way, someone who is the same
gender. For example, a gay man wants to be involved with and love
another man. A gay person may choose to have a special relationship with
someone and share a home and have a family together.
The word gay describes a man and a man or a woman and a woman, who love each other.
It describes a boy who wants to have a boyfriend or a girl who wants to have a girlfriend.
“Gay” can refer to either men or women but it is sometimes used just to refer to gay men. Women who are gay are also called “lesbians.”
What Bible says about homosexual acts???
He Bible generally teaches against any sexual relations except between husband and wife. The Bible specifically mentions sexual intercourse between persons of the same sex as among the forbidden acts. Homosexual acts are mentioned in seven Bible passages: 1
2 refer to rape (Genesis 19:5, Judges 19:22)
3 refer to intercourse between men (Leviticus 18:21-22, Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:27)
1 refers to intercourse between women (Romans 1:26)
1 refers to prostitution and possibly pederasty (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
1 is general in nature (1 Timothy 1:8-10)
Homosexual acts are a choice or nature?
Yes. People choose to be gay. They are making an immoral choice, which government should discourage.
Or
No. Sexual preference is biologically determined. Government should protect gay people from discrimination because homosexuality is an unalterable aspect of their identity.
These two answers have something in common: With both of them, the science conveniently supports the moral decision.
“Being gay is bad. How wonderful it is that nobody has to be gay!”
“Homosexual behavior should be allowed to take place. Isn’t it fantastic that, by an amazing coincidence, there is no way to stop it?”
What if neither answer is right?
Perhaps sexual preference can be changed – and people have the right to engage in gay sex and have homosexual relationships if they choose to do so. (The fourth option, that gay people have no choice but to be gay, but should be punished for it anyway, is morally unthinkable.)
What is the condition of Gays in India??
The Supreme Court has reversed the July 2009 ruling of the Delhi High Court decriminalizing gay sex between consenting adults in private. In the world’s largest democracy and its second largest country, gay sex is illegal and the status of homosexuals has become that of criminals once again.
At the center of this controversy is Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which the apex court has now upheld. However, many people are unaware of what this section exactly means.Section 377 of the Indian constitution is a descendant of an archaic law from the colonial British rule, which described homosexual acts as “unnatural”. It was incorporated into the IPC in 1860. The section reads: “377. Unnatural offences — Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.”
In effect, the section defines all acts of carnal intercourse other than heterosexual penile-vaginal as against the order of nature, irrespective of consent, and punishable with up to life imprisonment.
