    not sure what your saying, if your sexually attracted to the same sex, your homosexual or bisexual, doesn't matter if you act on it or not

    Are you CERTAIN that you wish to say "a lifestyle that people CHOOSE?" I thought that gays didn't choose to be gay. That they are just unnatural aberrations through no fault of their own.

    Don't preach to me.Tell it to the Gays.Tell them to stop imploring their Lifestyle
    onto the actual definition of a word { marriage }.A very important word at that.
    The very building block of civilized society.An Institution until Gays get a hold of
    it.Then it's no more important than Chickens running loose on a farm.

    Every child does have a mom and a dad unless they came from a hermaphrodite who can reproduce with themselves, in which case they have a momdad or dadmom depending. As for virture, who cares? There is no universal definition of morality and it's not the job of government to enforce morals. This is not Iran, this is the United States.

    Marriage is hardly the building block of civilized society. Agriculture would be the best item to define as 'the very build block of civilized society.'

    Modern marriage really isn't that important compared to its earlier incarnations. Back when it was a trade of chattel, that's when it mattered more. Now, we have to resort to assigning it religious value, since its economic value is sparse.

    That is a lie. Homosexuality is an attraction. NOTHING MORE.

    The problem with your argument is that it boils down to a combination of the Special Pleading and No True Scotsman logical fallacies. You are arguing that Homosexuality is an act, but you won't apply that same standard to heterosexuality and if I point an homosexual that doesn't engage in sexual behavior, you will claim that they aren't really homosexual, but actually asexual. Your entire argument is by definition illogical.

    And again, what exactly gives you the right to restrict the freedoms of others when their actions do not affect you in any way?

    How do you implore on a concept? Do you believe that the concept of marriage is sentient and animate?

    Then don't do it.

    Now only if you could embrace the above solution... and stop there.

    I do not understand what you mean, and the nature of your question.

    You assume a sexual attraction to either 'do good or not'.

    That is not how it is.

    Therefore, your question is redundant imo.

    The views of 21st century experts is that homosexuality is a natural choice.

    We are no longer living with the 20th century opinions of the "experts" that inhabited it.

    It's called progress.

    Nobody has to justify their lifestyle to you. You worry about you and let your fellow citizens do the same, K?

    If its a natural choice, that means nature chose to make them useless for procreation. You said people CHOOSE the life. Nature makes many errors, which is it nature making the error or people making the error.

    I really don't get the whole "gay is a choice" thing, I don't find men attractive nor do I want to have sex with them. Women on the other hand, I me give me a few days without jerking off and even the large ones look sexy. I just can't see it being a choice. I know it's not for me, and I assume that's the same for most people, but maybe I'm the one with the brain that's wired different.

    "Useless for procreation" is a useful state on a planet inhabited by 7 billion people.

    There should be more of it.

    Lady Liberty and Justice.

    If their sweet, sweet lovemaking is wrong then America doesn't want to be right.

    I also find it inherently repulsive. But that's not the point.

    I find many things repulsive. Like idiots who are allowed to vote.

    Sorry, I misrepresented myself. I'm just a perv who enjoys watching two girls kiss.

    I'm just saying I don't believe being gay is a choice. There may be degrees but I think it's one of those things where you are or you're not. In general guys are attracted to girls and girls are attracted to guys; it's entirely plausible that somewhere down the line in the billions of humans out there that some guys will be attracted to guys and some girls attracted to girls, just as some people are left handed and every other trait out there. That makes a whole lot more sense to me than someone just deciding who they are attracted to. That'd be like me waking up tomorrow and deciding I'm left handed.

    If I used "choice" or "choose", it was merely to describe the act of choosing to act on natural programming. Many gays do not.

    It has been front/center MANY times before now. (Where have you been?)

    I'd say that it is neither good nor bad; it is HUMAN. Can YOU explain the inherent good of 'humanity' itself? (Really, I could make a rather long a valid list of reasons, that would cause many to question the value of our existence period.

    There is good and bad. And so it is with ANYTHING which human beings are involved in. That is irrefutable.

    Imagine if Homosexuality was the given norm 2 thousand years ago...[/quote]
    Homosexuality and homosexual relationships have been around since the beginning of time.

    How do YOU know what God intended? How do you know that God did not intend homosexual relationships?

    That's a poor premise overall. Stick with what we know and reality itself; that's a better idea.

    Well, list something specific; not things you "imagine" could/would be.

    IMO, not really.

    What is a "Homosexual Lifestyle"?
