No. The child was supposed to be born according to Gods will. God wanted that defect in the child. Why, I have no idea. A defect is an imperfection, and God definitely wanted imperfection all throughout humanity. He wanted people who were both confused about their sexuality and people who are perverted in their sexuality, and all mixtures of the two. God is racking up evidence of how humans would live without him. And really I think God did not personally create homosexuality, but he allowed it to establish itself in the human genome system and that we just naturally go wild in all the areas of pleasure in human life.

Mickiel, I am a believer in God, but he is not all hung up on gleefully creating babieswith heart defects, or allowing sexual preferences just to watch his creation "go naturally wild in all areas of pleasure" (your words). Good Lord, honey, do you reread what you write?

They can find something else to shake their fingers at. The LGBT community will no longer be the victims of some rather breath-taking intolerance.

Yay!
All people already have the same exact rights. To create a form of marriage explicitly for gay people would be to create a new right based on a sexual preference or choice. That is discrimination against the rest of us that don't like to be with people of the same gender.

How do you know this? What makes your opinion any more valid than anyone else's?

Hmmm.... If you think marriage equality would lead to discrimination against you I'd suggest a call to the Southern Poverty Law Center to enlist their help.

Stay on hold until they've finished laughing.

Christian Post Blogger Who Wrote About 'Leaving Homosexuality' Found Cruising for Dudes on Grindr

I know from 28 years in the industry that people are REEEEEEEALLY into their sexual fetishes...whatever those fetishes may be.
It gets to the point where they almost can't get aroused enough to perform without the mental stimulation of the fetish.

From a physical standpoint..."sex" is all just friction centered on a couple square inches of the body: Blindfold people and it's pretty much all the same thing physically.
The rest...which is the major "human" part of it...is the "headtrips" people have about what "trips their trigger" to "get them turned on".
Once you get outside of "mainstream" sex...it's all "fetish".
"Homosex" is just another fetish.

Saying that newborn babies have some innate "built in" idea of what will turn them on sexually later in life is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
The religious dogma that rallies against it...that proclaims some theologically based "objective morality" that deems it to be "sin", is just as ridiculous...but so prevalent, that it gets many to deny their fetish for homosex so as to avoid the criticism.

That dude from the link just needs to go with what turns him on...and as long as it all between consenting adults...unload the guilt-trip that is keeping him from enjoying his life to the fullest extent. Have a blast Dude!

You know, in India prior to 1950, there was a caste of people known as 'Untouchables'. They weren't allowed to drink from the same well as the other, 'higher' caste. They also did the work that were considered too 'unclean' for anyone else to handle -- hauling away corpses, cleaning latrine pits, skinning animal carcasses.

Tea houses used separate glasses and utensils, and they weren't even allowed to walk on the same path as a member of the 'higher' caste.

Are we, then, to create a similar system here? Will we eventually create a 'class' of people to whom the rights and freedoms of this country no longer apply?

I weep at the thought.

Nobody I know is advocating a form of marriage explicitly for gay people.

We/they are advocating they have the same right to marriage as non-gay people.

I see no discrimination there.

So the "gay marriage" that the media, and the president recently advocated for doesn't exist?

They already have the exact same rights.

No. Keep it as is. Your silly notions aside, gay people are hardly discriminated against today.
