Exactly.

Of course, we do know homosexuality is naturally occuring but is not part of how our species was constructed to function. I also think no one who is rational truly wishes to impede anyone's right to happiness. But I think it is correct to state that raising an unnatural act to a level of normalcy by legislation is also incorrect.

There is a middle road to this which does resolve the issue except for the demagogues on both sides of the issue.

There usually is a middle road to solve things. Funny how rarely it is used.
This is the 21st century and you still think that homosexuality is just a 'act'?

It would be nice if people could 'reach a level of maturity' where they could educate themselves about homosexuality before actively voting to restrict the civil liberties of gay and lesbian people.

How about you educate yourself about sexual orientation before talking about a 'middle ground'?

What is there to educate about? Do we even know a cause of this affliction affecting about 1% of population?

Stupidest question ever on cd. We're talking about something as simple as equal rights. It's that simple. If two people get married, and you're only concerned with what's between their legs, you are a HOMOPHOBE!

Like not supporting the vote for women was just a 'disagreement'?

Was it "feminophobia"? were men scared of women?

I'm a Roman Catholic so naturally, I don't support it, even if I wasn't catholic, I do not support same sex marriage, but I'm not a homophobe.
