Now, for the record, I am straight, but I have friends who I've been close to for a long time that are gay. I support the rights of all people to love freely and be able to achieve the same goals as everyone else. In the past, I have had to play the devil's advocate on topics such as this and I can see the other side's point of view. Many devout religious people do not believe in homosexuality based on the teachings of the bible. I have always been one to not take the bible so literally, but for those who do, I can understand why they would see homosexuality as unnatural since the bible does state that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. However, the times since the bible was written have changed. In addition, I believe in a God who loves unconditionally and wants each of us to lead lives that are fulfilling and joyful. This includes people who love the same sex.
