Well, if homosexuals are being bullied for their orientation, why would it not be dealt with? Someone has to do something about it when obviously the parents are not capable of teaching their children to live and let live...

Then what is the purpose of sexual nerve endings in the rectum that have absolutely nothing to do with the releasing of prostatic fluid?

Yes, it occurs in nature.

And yet I'm sure you believe it's not lying to give kids a religious education?

Are you aware that current scientific research does not support that homosexuals were "born that way." Even the APA admits that. Doesn't mean that they consciously "choose" it; but it does imply that outside influences can be a factor. I don't want my child influenced that way, do you? Our children are growing up in a time of a huge social experiment. I'd rather play it safe. I teach my kids to not hate and treat others with respect. But, I won't have them celebrating homosexuality and I am careful what others are calculatedly trying to expose them to. Happy New Year.

Lol, ancient Hebrew is clear as a bell. Obviously you're either a troll or a Poe, because now you're just flat out lying.

Regarding the whole biology thingy, it is very telling how many people reduce homosexuality to biology. Gee, homosexuals are simply fellow human beings who want to be happy and feel the same feelings that heterosexuals feel. Nature is not perfect, it brings about all kinds of phenomena which we don't see any purpose in. It is not about whether we think it is ok or not, homosexuality simply IS and society has to live with it as it will never go away.
