Good grief do we have to go over this again?

This has been addressed atleast 20 times in the past few days.

One's racial makeup is not a choice. How can one believe one's genetic make up is comparable to an act, a lifestyle, a feeling, an urge, a behavior?

I agree I cannot see anyone of the same sex as being married.

And the argument is equally irrational every time it's brought up. That's why anyone with any sense isn't going to let it go...

Forgot to add on my other post--your argument works if being gay is simply a choice. Most gays don't believe that, and science is starting to back them up. If it's a matter of biology, then comparing it to interracial marriage is EXACTLY the same.

There is absolutly no science that backs it up, there is only opinion. Common sense tell us otherwise.

Science is "starting to back them up" lol!
No, not true. There is no scientific evidence of this, no gene coded for homosexuality. Fact.

Just the opposite.
That you say one's race and sexual behavoir is exactly the same thing shows a complete lack of scientific knowlege as well as understanding.

I apologize as this is WAY off-topic. But, in the OPs post, he refers to homosexuals as "gays", not gay people. Maybe this is splitting hairs, but it sounds a little derogatory to call them "gays". It sounds like something Archie Bunker would say.

Is it just me?

No it's not. If your heterosexual, you can marry the person you're in love with. Gays and lesbians cannot.
