My dad is REALLY religious...

He says he is with God and is bound to go to heaven... or something like that, i don't know. I usually stop listening to his lectures then start thinking about more important things... like...

uh...
homework. XD

But then i asked him what he thinks of Gay people (did that sound offensive...? I'm really sorry if it did. no offense at all!) and he said,

"Son, Gays are a disgrace and they are disgusting. they are a sin and they shall never enter the kingdom of heaven."
...

So then i asked him what "considers" someone gay other than what they wear or how they talk or of course, their sexuality, and he fell silent. ._.

Sorry if i sound really stupid right now, but i'm just curious.

I'm Christain, and I don't think being gay is a sin. Why, because that is not treating people equally like you are supposed to do.

Being gay is okay in the bible but acting upon it is not. It's not an abomination either so it doesn't mean auto-hell and it doesn't make the person irredeemable.
Your dad should better study his own religion :U

Gayness:
1: Happiness (dated)
2: Homosexuality
That's it.

Hmm I don't know that much about gay people but I find that they're really awesome people to talk to. I just don't understand why there's so much hate towards them

The word "gay" has more than one meaning
It used to be slang for happiness, and its meaning has changed throughout the years.

As for me...I believe it's an identity based around one's sexuality. Being gay myself (in the homosexual term) I believe I have right to say that

You do not capitalize word 'gay' unless it's at the beginning of the sentence. It's not a proper noun.

In German, all nouns are capitalised

In case you hadn't noticed, this is English.
