You seem like a nice person. You are really opening yourself to discuss the topic in a mature manner and providing a perspective that I, for one, appreciate. Don't bother arguing with the troll. Nothing will come of it. The discussion won't be fruitful. Hey I wonder if God wouldn't like that either?

Munchkin I am happy if you got a laugh out of it. I think I must give credit to Geroge Carlin on that one though, lol. He is the man.

This is an issue where I wish that we could all agree to disagree, but it curtails the BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS of fellow citizens. Hopefully the right to be a human being regardless of sexual orientation will win out over fundamentalism.

Last note: homosexuality being genetics or a choice ultimately does not matter. The point is that being gay is the right of homosexuals everywhere. If you choose to disapprove then it's simple, don't interact with gays and lesbians (although you will be doing yourself a disservice IMO but that is your choice) or do the whole bizarre hating the sin and loving the sinner bit (I have never understood how that works because you are effectively judging them and I thought that this also wasn't our "place"). Their right to a legal union should have nothing to do with your disapproval of their lifestyle.
