I don't throw the "hate bomb" at anyone that disagrees with me. If I do, then prove it. Cite some examples.

I assume you're talking about gay people when you say "you all". It's sad that you see gays as a monolithic group. This is evidence that you really don't know many gays.

The point to what I was saying (which you obviously missed) is that you are taught to hate something. As I said before, there's a difference between being repulsed and hating something. Do you understand that or agree with it?

If you don't agree, then how do you explain people who are repulsed by homosexuality but don't hate gay people and believe that they deserve to be treated equally?

No, most kids have an inherent sense that they are not homosexual.

Homosexual children have an inherent sense that they are.

Furthermore, homosexuality is not "abnormal." It is, in fact, perfectly normal. Homo sapiens is a species among many. And a certain percentage of many species is homosexual or bisexual (how many is up for debate, apparently). To argue otherwise is to argue against the weather. Nature is what it is. Sorry if it doesn't conform with certain people's ideologies, or offends their self-righteous sensibilities.

1,500 animal species practice homosexuality

What are you saying - that prepubescent children are "naturally" homo's?

What's "wrong" or "abnormal" about homosexuality? And I need something more than "the Bible tells me so." Otherwise, it's just nonsense.

Most people, at least everyone I know, would rather not hang around with pedophiles, be they 'straight' or 'gay'.

Alright, now listen up,you can look at a zillion post's on here from homosexuals and their sympathisers, and the common theme is anyone that is not down with the whole homo agenda is full of hate, not going to debate that anymore. Like I said I agree with you're little vomit analogy, I do not hate Homosexuals,I am repulsed by their behavior, and like joe the plumber would not choose to purposely have my kids around them, as I would any other group of people that I would not care to have my kids exposed to, that , does not equate to hate!

I got it, man. Okay, at least you acknowledged that you were generalizing about what you said. Not all of us use the same reactionary lingo (such as the word "hate"). Keep that in mind. I do appreciate your responding to me.

I'm glad you don't hate homos. You didn't say that originally, so I didn't know.

I do wonder, though: Would you not want your kids to be around homos simply because you think they're gross, or is it also that you're afraid homos might try to molest your kids (or somehow turn them gay)?

I'm only asking because I'm curious. Thanks.

Why do gays think it's right to marry?
Most of them are sluts and cheat on their partners anyways.
It's not normal period! Why should it be legalized now?
It is known as unusual behavior and very risky for diseases.
Go to Iran and see how gays are accepted.
Why can't we keep it to don't ask, don't tell....

Well, that's one opinion, isn't it?

I didn't know that marriage was off-limits for sluts. Lots of famous sluts have gotten married.

Don't know what your definition of "normal" is, but you may want to consult an encyclopedia or talk with a psychologist about what is "normal".

Unusual behavior and diseases don't stop opposite-sex couples from getting married.

Iran is another country. I don't think we create laws in the U.S. based on what Iran does.

"Don't Ask Don't Tell" is a joke. I say either let people serve openly or don't let them serve at all.
