You don't think homosexuality is right. That's cool; you're entitled to your beliefs. But when you start claiming that anyone who does not think like you is somehow mentally deficient well...then you just come off sounding like an idiot.
Nope common sense and I'm free just like yourself to have an opinion and I wont call you names.

Nope but thats only because you pick at one state at a time instead of going for full federal civil unions, Obama himself is for full federal civil unions with all the benifits of marrage but no one has even tried to put in a bill to do so.

I have my opinion and your free to have yours
Um, nope. The sucides happen because they have to endure ridicule, bigtory, and brutality from people who think they are somehow damaged. When you support such a culture, whether you actively harm someone or not, you are guilty and your opinion is no longer just your opinion.

I will keep you in my prayers.

What a "nice" gesture by my state's government. That said, government (and religion) has no right to tell anyone who they can and cannot hook up with.

All kinds of things are "just a part of life". That doesn't mean we should sit back and accept them. Measles, the flu, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. - these are all part of life, but I'm glad that science and medicine can treat these things. The same applies to depression.

And it's factually incorrect to say that homosexuality is caused by a mental illness. You can say it all you want, but it will still just be your uninformed opinion, and that doesn't much mean relative to all of the studies on human sexuality that educated people have done on the subject.

Compairing a physical illness to a mental illness just doesn't work, there are tests for sickness but there is no test in the world that confirms a person is Homosexual the mind is very complexed.
you say my uninformed opinion, well it is just as informed as yours, there is no proof Homosexuality is normal and anyone with the slightest bit of common sense knows two men or two women do not have the parts ment for sex with one another making it unnatural. Best friends Yes, Lovers No, confusion for sure. That doesn't make them bad people it just means they are confused or disturbed and as always thats my opinion you are free to have your own I'm in no way trying to tell you how to think.

It's not my opinion. It's the opinion of every major medical and mental health organization in the modern world. I trust them a lot more than some anonymous stranger on an internet forum.

Nope suicides happen because someone becomes unbalanced it can be due to a number of things, all Homosexual suicides are not because they are picked on manypeople are picked on and do not kill themselves.
I support no culture and am guilty of nothing, everyone has an opinion.

Thank you for your prayers.
