So let's say your brother/sister confides in you and tells you he/she has feelings for same sex. Would you accept him/her? Maybe even help him/her break the news to your parents?
^ But what if they are convinced that this is natural and they can't change who they are. What if it comes down to your sibling threatening to take his/her own life?
I wud tell him i have feelings for you... If he finds it creepy i will tell him its natural and i cant change who I am.
Some sicko's prefer Animals over human ? can they use "its natural excuse" some perverts are into kids. Tell him its not natural .... He can change, He can do thees !
If nuthing works, he needs to get laid "with opposite sex"
And why should I listen to this and not to Allah? How is he/she going to see the light if everyone acts as if this is completely normal, halal, perfect and he/she has nothing to lose by going down this path?!
Anyway, in the world that we live in, where hijab is compulsory in one part of the world and banned in the other, where alcohol is illegal in one area and legal in the other, where abusing drugs is the norm in one culture and unheard of in another, where religion is a joke for some and the focus of their lives for others, live and let live is the only way we can survive in peace.
The beauty of Islam is that I'm not answerable/punishable for what others do. I am accountable only if I didn't teach my family what Allah has ordered us to teach. Other than that, jo karna hai karo but don't come begging to me for support/pity/affection. To you your religion (or the lack of) and to me my religion.
You put that perfectly! couldn't agree with u more!

you also portrayed this perfectly! lol... you wud never beleive a paedo when he used the excuse it was natural to them!
I am with you on this Theorist, no one chooses to be gay, esp. in this society where they are lashed out upon and totally taboo. I would try to understand their situation and help them out, I would be so sad seeing them depressed and confused and all isolated at that kind of a time. Your sexuality is in your head, it is not a mental disorder and it is natural for them to be attracted to the same sex as it is for us heterosexual people to be attracted to the opposite.
So yes, I would be supportive and understanding and accept them for who they are and not make the, feel isolated and rejected. At the same time, I in no way want my siblings to be gay but if it happened, I know how I'd handle it.
homosexuality is an illness? its as much ilness as some1 being straight or caucasian or smarter. a diference in genetic makeup is not considered an illness.
some ppl prefer thin people some prefer curvy or chubby watever u cant change it because thats how they r. u cant make a person who prefers thin partner to like a chubby person. does it make this person wrong or sick in anyway?
anyways i wud totally accept my siblings for who they r and support them. thier sexual orientation is none of my beeswax.
well I dont care who my sibling dates as long as my sibling is happy even if its of opposite gender is not getting abused.
At the end of the day thats all what matters doesnt it?
I don't know why you would compare pedophilia to homosexuality. Its not the same, pedophilia is a mental disease while homosexuality is well a sexuality.
Want more clarification?
A pedophile chooses to become one this can be caused by prior trauma (child molestation) and brain structure. He/She if acted on his/her desires can leave a child traumatized for life. A childs self worth, feeling of security, trust in other people becomes diminished.
A person who is sexually attracted to the same gender (homosexuality) realizes he/she feels the same way about her sexuality at an early age but can also find its true self after many years as well. He/She if acted on his/her sexuality would not harm other people.
I don't understand why ones sexual orientation would matter to you but if your sibling wasn't gay instead he/she was into S&M or other kinds of kinky sexual orientation and told you about it that he/she liked to do it with his/her wife/husband. Would you care? Would you try to stop it? and what would you give the right to do so? What would be the right path?
To think another persons sexual orientation will harm your family/culture is quite selfish thinking. It is not a mental disease/disorder.
If you were to condemn everything religion (in this case Islam) has to condemn then shouldn't you be condemning those who smoke? It not only IS harming the person who is smoking but the people surrounding too. Would you kick the person out of your life?
Now I'm not saying homosexuality and smoking are the same. They aren't but knowing that in Pakistan a majority of people smoke and that has become a social norm even though its a sin in religion.
What gives you the right to condemn one sin and not the other?
^ Well said! Just to clarify one thing, I never said homosexuality is an illness, i said it's AS natural as someone born with a mental illness given that no gay genes have been found (if it has been found, that's even better).
And i don't get why people compare homosexuality to pedaphilia or other sexual taboos either.
^Taking abuse for being gay, made fun of for being gay, wanting to protest for being gay - yeah all of that sounds like a lot of fun!
Again, homosexuality is as natural as someone being born with some kind of a mental disorder. At least that's how I see it. No one in their right mind would want to go through all the pain to someday be able to live a normal life. It's easy for you to say...
I can't take someone seriously when all they believe is dictated by their religion, sorry. Please have a brain of your own..
That's quite insulting.
No matter how natural homosexuality is to some people, Islam doesn't allow the act of sodomy, even between a male and a female. So there are no ifs and buts regarding this issue.
Rahi baat gay sibling ki tou...if he starts admitting openly being a sinner (oh yeah that includes bragging about fornication too) then I don't think I'd want him around my family.
^But then again, why create such beings? They are here to stay and they are not interfering with your happy life, why not just accept them and be happy for them? Why can't they live a normal life? As far as I know No gay men/women openly bragg about their sexual encounters. For the last time, homosexuality is not contagious! Gays are just as good people as the rest of us..or maybe even better and more understanding.
Either God truly messed up or we don't really understand God's will.
Create? But homosexuality is natural, right? Sodomy is a different issue.
They are here to stay, why not just accept them?
I accept them in terms that they are humans and they have rights and it's natural for them to feel attracted to the same sex but I just don't wanna keep a close relationship with them likewise you wouldn't keep a close relationship with some desis or some religious people, it's about sharing ideas and mentality with people we find compatible. Seriously, I don't wanna see two dudes snogging or telling butt jokes to me.
Either God truly messed up or we don't really understand God's will.
These are your personal views about God, what can I say?
**^EXACTLY...you are so right...NO cigarette smoking nation was punished by Allah...but the nation of Lot [a.s.] [qaum-e-Luut, a.s.] was punished severely because they were homosexuals.
*if you do NOT smoke 'POT', smoking is ONLY makrooh [undesirable].*
do NOT make Haram things Halaal and Halaal things Haraam***...this is what Allah said in Qur'aan.*
