Let's hear your reason as to why being gay is wrong. Let's see if you can think of one that doesn't involve the Bible, since I have already shown that what you're preached is not necessarily what the bible actually says, since no one really knows what it actually says on homosexuals.
first of all, i havent used not one biblical fact to support my belief against gays. thats simply because i was trying to show u that u dont need to be a christian, or religious to see that being gay is wrong.
and also because not everyone believe in the bible, so u couldnt come at them with biblical fact if they dont belive in the bible in the first place
so of course what i am saying isnt what the bible actually says because i have yet to quote the bible.

And if we are going to quote the bible, we should also remember what else the bible says.
I got this from christianteens.com
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." (NIV).
While the scripture may sound clear, the debate actually surrounds the use of the Greek word that this particular version of the Bible translates as "homosexual offenders." The term is "arsenokoite." Some say that it is a reference to male prostitutes rather than to two committed homosexuals. Yet, others argue that Paul, who wrote the passage, would not have repeated "male prostitutes" twice. Even others argue that the two root words in arsenokoite are the same terms used to prohibit any premarital or extramarital sexual relations, so they may not refer to homosexual relations alone.
However, even if a person believes that homosexuality is a sin based upon this scripture, the next verse does say that homosexuals can inherit the kingdom if they come to the Lord, Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 6:11 - "And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
Basically, there are some passages that look like the Lord is against it. But because this book has been translated many time over thousands of years from various languages it's far too hard to give a definite answer to whether they are actually against homosexuals per se.
Yes, the Bible is the word of God (If you are Christian), but it was written down by man, then translated by another man into another language, then translated again, and probably revised a few times.
WOW.... i cant believe that u actually tried to show that the bible justified gays and it clearly doesnt
but since ur not religious, that means u probably dont know the bible very well so i cant really get into depths with u on what the bible says about homosexuals.
but here is a little something about what else the bible say about homos and other stuff.....which is a bit more straight forward and to the point
this is from the book of Leviticus(KJV):
10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
