In our 12th Grade Scripture class every Friday, we get the desks in a circle and write down questions and pass them in and they get randomly distributed among the students and they pose the question they received to another classmate
Yes, it is wrong. Homosexuality is a result of sin, so if a Christian doesn't take issue with it, then they are on the side of sin, so they are in the wrong.
WTF? Really - that's allowed in schools unchallenged? Fucking absurd.
Anyway, I'm a total atheist and bisexual (and I'm also a historian who's seen clearly how Christian attitudes and ideas have been shaped by man over the centuries), so it's pretty obvious what my stance is without even having to bother articulating it; I don't really feel any need to quote Biblical passages to prove what attitudes are the 'correct' one for a Christian to take as I don't think anyone should be forming their personal moral and value systems based on a really old fictional book written by humans*. I don't beleive in any sort of deity or spiritualism, good/evil, universal concepts of right/wrong, or the concept of afterlife or sin. I don't agree with gender binaries (gender's performative, sex is biological) or binaries of sexuality either (see the
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale - everyone's probably a bit gay), and I'd much rather people with a predilection for non-monogamy engaged in honest consensual polyamoury than lying and cheating. I much prefer the Kantian categorical imperative to Jesus' Golden Rule.
If people are gonna bandy around lines about 'gay genes' and 'choice' and 'sin' in relation to homosexuality, they're an intolerant fool in my eyes who deserves no respect from me. If people really loved Jesus and his teachings as much as they claim to, they'd recognise the hypocrisy of hating on their fellow man for reasons that the person probably spent years of their life trying to fight and not admit to anyone simply out of that fear of intolerant attitudes from other people. If people are happy and everyone has informed consent, then all is good.

(fair enough, some people are happy believing in stuff - including some of my very good friends - each to their own if it makes ya happy, just don't proselytise around me, and don't use scripture to justify being an asshole to people / bend passages to reinforce some shitty worldview and then expect me to accept it as a totally valid reason for having that worldview - if you want to be a nice, open-minded and tolerant person, then do that - in my mind you don't need faith to do that. If you want to be a cunt, then do that too - just don't try and convince me I can't protest against said cuntishness because a book says it's OK)
