Well, if "SunnyPSP" says that's what happened, it must be true.

If a far right wing religious anti-gay person says something is true then it must be true?

You can read about Phyllis Burgess's anti-gay crusading from many sources.

Because you think EVERYONE agrees with you that homosexuality is NOT normal. I stated it has existed since the start of mankind and used Greece as a prime example considering it was the birthplace of Democracy. Yet, you don't think it's relevant.

If you don't think it's normal, than you must think it's some new age trend.

Wow, you folks are a confused bunch, aren't ya?

1) What does Democracy and Greece have to do with homosexuality?

2) You are confusing "normal" with "choice." I have never said that I believe homosexuality is a "choice." I do not believe it is normal though. There is a difference.

Again, since when are Greeks the Barometer Of Humanity?

Considering humans in their current form are thought to be 160,000 years old, how in the world does a 1,000 year period even begin to explain homosexuality?

It doesn't. So please find another excuse to proclaim that homosexuality is normal. I prefer science, but if you believe history better proves the homosexual disposition, then go for it.

If you prefer science, preliminary findings have shown there is a slightly different brain activity in homosexuals, which could explain it's not choice. Honestly, you'd know it's not choice if you'd step out of your bubble and meet some homosexuals. I used to be against same-sex marriage etc until I actually met cool guys with everything going for them later to find out they are gay. Same with lesbians. Reality is, who gives a s*&^ if it's choice or nature anyways! Everyone deserves the same rights. It doesn't matter if it's a man and woman, or a man and man, or a woman and woman.

Apparently you can't read. I stated above that I have never argued that it's not a "choice." I didn't read the rest of your post because you started off with a fallacy from the beginnning.

This discussion has become rancorous so quickly. I'm shocked - shocked, I say.

What do gay Republicans think about the fact that they belong to a party that views them as disgusting sick individuals who are a threat?

If there are any out there, I'd like to hear your thoughts.
