Taking insulin, having dialysis or getting cardiac bypass surgery is about as natural as a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest.
Do you have a point besides the one atop your head?

Hey... we're not bad luck, and freckles keep us looking young! That's okay, I don't want to marry or breed anyway.

Let them reach adolescence, see the world a bit, and make their own decisions.
More proof government run schools are nothing more the indoctrination centers.. Show me one kid between the ages of 5 to 13 that really cares about this then Call Of Duty Ghost..

How so? Does it say these children learned their opinions from school? I learned my acceptance of gay people from my parents, and by example throughout the community here... we did have a few openly gay teachers at my school, but it wasn't even a public one (private college prep, in the '80s-early '90s). So you can't blame my compassion or understanding of this issue on public schools!

You also might notice, as I mentioned earlier, that most kids echo their parents on issues like this. Bigots raise bigots, liberals raise liberals, conservatives raise conservatives, etc. Sometimes a shift happens when they reach adulthood, but that seems to be the exception to the rule.

Ask and ye shall receive... I'm guessing the following children (and their counterparts around the world) care a LOT more about this issue than Call of Duty. Some of these examples might fall outside of your age grouping, but I think you get the drift:

http://www.queerty.com/wp/docs/2010/09/2dadskid9234.png
http://bryanhehirexposed.files.wordp...-in-parade.jpg
http://queermeup.com/wp-content/uplo...-with-kids.jpg
http://images.theage.com.au/2013/06/...an-620x349.jpg
And so on, and so forth.

This is why I call BS when you all cry "think about the children!!" I guess what you really should be saying is "think about the children who only come from 'traditional' nuclear families." Because, really, same sex marriage is OFTEN about protecting the children who are directly affected. Guess you don't care about those children, huh?

As my therapist told me, "you need to stop trying to categorize yourself; just accept that your mind works differently than most, and there's nothing wrong with that." Normal is overrated anyway, and most of the gay people I know have no desire to be a boring - or as you call it, "normal" - heterosexual.

What's the obsession with this aspect of the debate? Do we restrict rights of others who aren't in the majority? Not since like 1960, AFAIK. I do realize some of you are stuck in the '50s, but it really IS 2013!

Yep, almost as "unnatural" as monogamy, oral sex, wearing clothes, eating processed foods, circumcision...
I take it you've never indulged in any of those "unnatural" practices, correct?

I've often told people like this to just be honest and say that they want to ban it because they find it icky. Instead they come up with these tortured "explanations" of how gay marriage will harm their marriage and other assorted nonsense for which they never provide any evidence.
