Not I. I'm heterosexual. But for you to make that argument, we'd have to firmly establish that being gay is something chosen, which has not been done.

And dress it up any way you want; the research finds no reason gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt or marry, nor does the bible specifically give this instruction. That only leaves YOU as the reason YOU don't want to let it happen
Your logic is very twisted.

I never understood why you don't want to choose your sexual preference. You seem so proud of it yet you blame it on your genetics as if it is a disease.

It does not matter to me if you were born gay or not. That has no relevance to the moral issue.

When did you choose to be straight? Tell us about the factors you used to make that choice.

It's not a choice. It's not a disease. It's a part of the range of normative sexual behavior.

That's why there are courts. To decide things like this.

Actually yes you can, and it's very simple to do

I have no problem with gays, but to describe them as being in the "range of normative sexual behavior" is intellectually dishonest.

Given the very low percentage of gays, that does not fall within the realm of "normal".

The homosexuals can boycott them all they want, no big deal but they can make what they want and nobody can force them to make anything.Just more crying from this group.

I think it was in the 6th grade. Her name was Lisa and had brown eyes. We were at a Saturday morning movie, I think is was an old Elvis movie. That first kiss left no doubt that I was straight as God intended.

Normal is clearly evident in our reproductive organs.

Well I hope you don't engage in oral sex then. Our reproductive organs were not intended to be used for oral sex.

The state in which they operate can force them to either stop selling wedding cakes, or sell them to anyone, or close their doors for business.

They have to follow the laws like any other business.
