It suits people's beliefs to think they knew they were attracted to the same sex or opposite sex as a zygote or as a 2 week old infant.

Human sexuality seems to be very malleable. Heterosexual men seem capable of raping men in prison. Gay men after years of being married to a wife and siring children with her can divorce her and say they were gay all those years.

True, but it isn't other peoples choice what I can call anything in my life.
If these people are true conservatives, they should be all about personal liberty. The hypocritical ideas of the "conservative" party is what made me leave them for good.
One is either FOR personal liberty for ALL American citizens, or one isn't. It isn't a pick and choose thing.

That is basically what it comes down to. I can most identify with the Libertarian position; I may not be entirely comfortable with all of your positions but I should not stand in the way of your personal Liberties as a fellow American.

I'm not a libertarian. I'm not really any party. I vote for whoever fits with my ideals best. Sometimes R, sometimes D, sometimes I. Depends on the person, and his/her platform.

What about straight couples that have another woman carry their baby to term? In your book, none of this would be normal and shouldn't be done....why should those people be punished too?
What about it? I had fertility treatments. None of us get everything in this life. I could have gone through with all the other treatments but all of it was against my conscience. No fertilizing many eggs from another woman and having them transplanted into me or having another woman carry our child. It's all outside of what we believe. At some point one needs to accept they won't have everything they desire. Gays aren't the only ones who have problems.

So that is your reason for wanting to deny gay marriage? That's a stupid reason.
