i know this topic is widely debated, and no one will ever come to an agreement. however, there is a question i want to ask all the christians out there. this affects how you see the homosexual identity, and community, and thus reflects how the gay-straight alliance, and other pro-homosexual activists and equal rights groups can try to open lines of communication with more intolerant communities.
how do you define homosexuality? do you believe it to be a purely physical 'sin', i.e. must sexual activity be involved to consider it 'homosexual behavior?'
if so/not explain why....

this isn't the right place for your question. you are not going to get the answer you are looking for from anyone but yourself. trust yourself.

i am not a christian. however, i believe you are the only one who can make a choice concerning your lifestyle, actions, etc. christian advice will condemn homosexuality. this is not always a solution.
the question is whether or not you would like to control your own life, or let someone else tell you what is right or wrong?

It isn't bad Jojo. Sometimes, girls like girls and boys like boys. It is perfectly natural, but it is something that only a few people feel. No one knows exactly how many girls are attracted to girls or boys to boys, but some estimates put the number as high as 10%, or one in ten people. Some people are attracted to both boys and girls. It is important that you understand that your feelings are not wrong or immoral, but it is also important that you exercise control of your body. You are far too young to become sexually active with anyone, and I recommend that you wait until you are older to make these decisions. No one is quite sure what causes homosexuality, but the medical consensus is that it is not a chosen thing. There is another thread, "Is homosexuality a choice" that might better inform you on this topic. You can't turn off your attraction to someone, what you can do is control your actions. Just because you are attracted to someone is no excuse to do something irresponsible with them. I think you need to wait until you understand yourself and your own body first. You are going through a bunch of changes, which, unfortunately, will not end soon. You are becoming an adult, and while this process is difficult, you will be a better person at the end of it. If you have more questions, let me know over PM or on the board. I wish you the best in your journey. For now, you should try to visit some informative websites, like www.hrc.org.
