Hm... I guess this could apply to derivatives trading and Wonder Bras as well.

Oh, but they do believe it's hurting someone. They believe it's hurting everyone, actually. It's a culture war - no doubt about it.

What really bothers me is that people make this claim that being gay must be natural because there are gay animals. If this is the case I suppose that a rational conclusion is that if X is natural for humans because it is natural in animals, then behavior Y must be too.

This is how pedophiles justify their sick acts. It could be an argument for incest, patricide, cannibalism, and rape.

There are very few compelling arguments that being gay is natural,several that is unnatural. As a matter of fact the most trumped up pro-gay "facts" can be thoroughly debunked without much cerebration.

In my opinion if humans are doing something unnatural, and many consider it unethical, and it isn't a social tradition in the country you are in, there is a good reason for government intervention.
Your entire argument is based on being judgemental. Just because you think something is wrong doesn't make you right. Historically it hasn't worked for kings, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Bush... you get the picture.

You took my post totally out of context...I was pointing out a general feeling that seems to have taken over the party.

And the "in your face" part has nothing to do with public acts.

The majority of Americans say that homosexuality is acceptable.

One would think. But why would you ever expect logical laws coming from the republicans.

LOL only 50% are okay with it. That is pathetic.

I'm not okay with high calorie fast food and beer. But I bet 75% of the population is. Just look at all the blimps.

90% of the population should be okay with it. I'm sick of the population dictating who you should be in love with. They are consenting adults, now let it be.
