A religious viewpoint: It is not bad to be gay. But some religions, such as many denominations of Christianity, believe it is bad and a sin to act upon being gay (such as having sexual relations with the same gender). So, according to some religions, it's okay to be gay as long as you remain celibate and lonely. There are however, many religions that fully accept gay people, and even permit them to marry.
A non-religious viewpoint: It is not bad to be gay any more than it is bad to be straight or tall or brown-haired. It is the sexual orientation you happen to have, no more and no less. Some particular GROUPS' STANCE may want to label it as "bad" but that doesn't mean it is, just that a certain number of people dislike it. They might also dislike left-handed people or green-eyed people and insist these things are bad too. That doesn't make it true.
Some groups may want to call it "a sin" but that doesn't apply to anyone who doesn't care to follow that particular view. And most certainly not all religious people think being gay is "a sin" - many are open minded and can think for themselves and see that being gay is not "bad".
Being gay is not inherently bad or good, it simply "is".
No. Just as a Heterosexual relationship, homosexuality presents the same "risks" in sexual activity. It is up to both partners to make sure they have been checked for any STDs and play safely.
No. It's not good or bad, just like having brown hair is not good or bad.
Homosexuality is neither good nor bad, but simply one of the ways in which humans differ from one another.
You might like reading biographies; I might enjoy listening to Mozart, and Cousin Pete might like both pastimes and also be gay.
No big deal.
If Cousin Pete, or you, happened to be a bigot or a person who enjoys making others feel inferior or in causing distress to those who can't fight back, neither of you would be welcome in my home because those are bad things.
Who anyone finds attractive, on the other hand, doesn't define them as a person. If a gay person should also enjoy behaving badly towards others, it's that behaviour which defines them and not their sexuality.
It's not bad to be gay. It's a completely natural and unchangeable human quality.

truly its up to you but i think that it's not a bad thing at all. i think that being gay is no different than man and a woman in love:P but every one has their own opinion.
Short answer: No. First of all, people don't have a choice about being gay. It's like being blond-haired or tall: it just happens. Of course, a lot of people don't like gay people and they might pick on the gay kid. That's not fun, but it's not the gay kid that's being "bad" -- it's the people who tease!
There is no mention in the bible about being gay. Certain sexual behaviors are prohibited, but the concept of sexual orientation was not known in ancient times.
Since being gay is not a bad thing, you have no reason to take revenge.
Because her father was of course a male and she had had bad experiences with those, so I would assume that's why she's a gay.
Yes. The reason is that being gay is not a choice. And a person just can't be born "wrong". It doesn't work like that.
