Almost 100% of Americans Support Gay Marriage if I Believed the Media (gun, alcohol)

Of course gay people are people, but being Jewish has nothing to do with sexual orientation.

And I'm willing to bet you that if you remove the word "gay" from the study, the numbers won't change at all. Because, you know, men like sex...

Being gay is about attraction, not the act itself. That's where Mary misses the point.

If I don't like cabbage and everybody around me likes it, it doesn't mean I'll suddenly like cabbage too. Mary makes some huge jumps in logic.

He doesn't want to address my point, because it's hard to refute that many men enter prison as heterosexuals, but upon their release, a great number of them continue to engage in sex with men.

The interesting point about this particular population of males is, many of them wouldn't have ever engaged in sex with men, if they weren't exposed to same sex relations on a wide scale level in prison. One can therefore argue that many of these males were socialized to accept and engage in homosexual activities.

I would think that if homosexuality was truly innate, the above example wouldn't occur.

What difference does it make whether it's innate or not? Or whether it's "learned" or a "choice?" What implication would that have for marriage? I would argue it would have no implication whatsoever.

I'm failing to see the point in any of your comments.

The problem that gay people have is, the act of homosexuality is considered immoral and unnatural by most people throughout the world.

Even those who support gay marriage, often state, "I support rights for all, but I'm opposed to homosexuality."

Often state? I have never, EVER heard anyone say this. Why would people support gay marriage if they're opposed to homosexuality?

So you're arguing that a person can engage in homosexuality, but if they lack attraction to the person that they are engaged in the sexuality activity with, they are not gay?

And people think that because of religion.

Show me one atheist against marriage equality. Please.

Marriage is between a man and a woman,
I don't care what government humans create
in THEIR own image, approving of same-sex "marriage",
it will NEVER BE marriage.
