Am I a homophobe?

Let's get this out of the way first: I am a proud Catholic
I respect homosexuals just as equal as I respect everybody else from all walks of life, and accept that they are very much part of our society today, and rightly so.
However I share the belief, which is one of the most controversial today, that homosexuals should not engage in sexual intercourse.
Two of my closest friends are gay and they do respect my beliefs, but obviously don't agree with it!
But does this make me a homophobe?

I just think your views are slightly old fashioned and ignorant (ignorant in the fact that you seem to accept homosexuality, but deny that they should have sex like everyone else, when sex is part of life).
Do you also not eat pork? Touch the skin of an unclean animal? Want to stone to death anyone who works on the Sunday?
If you believe in that particular section of Leviticus then you must adher to the other laws and rules too...
Why are you bothered about people having sex, have you not got your own life to concentrate on?
Should I not engage in homosexual intercourse either, then?
Did I say I wasn't?!
My life is based around my faith so I can't ignore what I believe in.
I respect all your opinions btw
If you think it's wrong that they have sex, you don't view them as equals.
I understand you being uncomfortable with the thought of it, many people are and that doesn;t make them homophobes. But to state that it;s wrong is a slightly different matter, especially as you haven;t offered any reasoning behind it.
I guess maybe you should explain what;s wrong about it.
Lol
That's it for me in a nutshell.
Yes, it does. And I have no respect for that opinion whatsoever. What gives you the right to sit there and 'believe' that two people should not do what millions of other people do just because your religion tells you to.
The sheer arrogance of it astounds me. It would be as preposterous as me saying 'I like black people and respect them, but I don't think they should ever have sex or be involved in a sexual relationship'.
It beggars belief really.
Sexual intercourse between homosexuals would be against the natural law, and that the purpose of sex is to reproduce.
These are my beliefs. I expect them to be criticised endlessly but I was wondering if I'm alone in these views on this forum.
I'm guessing to some of you I am a homophobe and to others I'm not.
Do you masturbate?
Without wanting to sound like I am having a go at you as I am not but how do you feel about condoms? or the pill?
Are these things something you disagree with also?
Is that directed at anyone specifically or can we all join in?
:eek:
They do not fulfil the natural law so yes, I am against them.
I think your an arse... & no way are any of your 'best friends' gay... at all.
Depends on how big the room is I guess...
