first off.. yes the bible says that you can stone a women if she cheats on her husband, but if you knew anything about the bible you would have realized that was in the old testiment before christ died for the sins of the world. and since adutery is a sin, instead of her being punished here now, she will have to deal with that sin on judgement day when the Lord comes back.

Wow, too many fails on this page to mention. Please people, stop going on about how homosexuality is disgusting and unnatural! To be honest, I find the idea of being with a woman pretty disgusting to think about, BUT I DON'T GO ON ABOUT IT. And to the people who say it's a choice, (it isn't) why the hell should that matter anyway? I presume you think you chose to be straight also, so what right do you have to say ours is any less valid? How the hell can you know what it feels like? Not aimed at anyone specific, just trying to correct people on a few general issues that have arisen. Bad luck OP, but hey, at least you don't have to sit down and tell them now!

Well, everyone has just gotten into a giant gay debate, so I'm going to speak to the OP firstly. I don't know you. I don't know your relationship with your parents. I don't know if they're very religious, very narrow-minded or very intimidating. Or if you just never knew how to broach the subject. However, I get the impression that you're quite old - i.e., probably not around seventeen years old, as you do mention that your parents asked why you were with another 'man' as opposed to boy. Unless you consider seventeen year olds fully fledged adults. Anyway, you also mention that you're having dinner, and I don't know many teenagers who go to restaurants for dates. (Then again, I'm Irish, and we don't go on dates as teenagers.) My point is, you seem old enough and comfortable enough to display your sexuality in a public place. So, I think you probably should have 'come out' earlier to your parents to avoid situations like these occuring. Also, to the people attacking his parents. Did the OP say they attacked him? Did they march over to his table and insult him? No. Admittedly, they weren't very tactful, ringing him when they could clearly see he was on a date, but they were probably in shock. No, not horrified, but yes, in shock. Most parents don't generally expect their children to be gay - it doesn't mean they're any less tolerant or accepting, it just means they're surprised. Also, if my assumptions are correct, and the OP's an adult, then they're probably surprised that it took them this long to find out. I hope it didn't bother you too much and disturb your date :) Now, for the homophobic people declaring their hatred/disgust at homosexuality. What, precisely, is wrong with being gay? Forget the fact that the Bible says it's wrong and it's 'un-natural' - what's wrong with it? What is so wrong with two people being in love, and the minor fact that they both have the same sexual organs? Are you really going to listen to a book written about 2,000 years ago? You could say it's 'un-natural' for humans to fly in an aeroplane and wear braces; they didn't do that 2,000 years ago, so it's automatically wrong, is it? You are the sort of people that ruin society. Not gay/lesbian/bisexuals. You.

Oops, double post :l

Probably not the ideal situation, but you probably had to come out to them sooner or later. Now you don't have to pretend anymore.

Wow. This happens on every FML involving homosexuality. There have been so many idiotic homophobes and I normally just roll my eyes and ignore the comments, but feminist19 really takes the cake. Wow. Here's a coupon for a free hysterectomy. Please redeem it. Immediately.

#15, you're ignorant. I hate living in a world where you have to accept everyone for what they are UNLESS what you are happens to be considered the majority. In America the majority consists of WASP's who are male and christian. Apparently it is ok to have an opinion that homosexuality and moral disregard is ok, but to have to opinion that it is wrong is considered "ignorant" and "intolerant". If my belief that homosexuality is wrong is intolerant, your belief that I am intolerant is by definition is intolerant. I hate that I can't voice an opinion anymore without being attacked by some Liberal group about my personal beliefs. Now, that being said, I do have friends that are homosexual. Some of which i knew of before we were friends and some I found out about afterwards. I still think it is wrong, but I don't think they should be persecuted in any way. THAT (persecution of minorities) is completely wrong. I still think homosexuality is wrong, but I am not intolerant.

There are so many sick homophobics out there who just don't understand that HOMOSEXUALITY is a choice that some people make. And it's their choice. Just like people choose to kill others, but people don't hate on them as much as they hate a person who JUST happens to fall in love with someone of the same gender. I really hope, sooner or later, we'll live in a generation where people can fall in love with whoever they want to... no matter what the gender.
