No one ever claimed there is a single "gay gene". But yes, all evidence points to sexual orientation being primarily fixed (although it has slight fluidity). Nothing in the OP dispels that notion.

It's idiots like her that make me oppose gay marriage.
Yeah, I'm sure she's the reason you oppose it. I'm not sure why the concept of bisexuality is lost on people like you.

Also, you have me confused with someone else. I have had about one strong drink in my life.
Not all kids are born heterosexual. Stop believing lies.

So you've never heard of babies being born addicted. (Because their mothers are addicted.)

Babies ARE born addicted and the affects last them their entire lives. It's sad how uninformed you are because of that little bubble you seem to live in. Mercy. BTW: Many of them end up in foster care. They aren't the cute little babies that everyone wants to adopt. They are kids with serious problems because they were born addicted. Guess who often steps up to adopt them? Gays. They're willing to put in the work to help these kids have a normal life when they were born with two strikes against them.

I know men and women that were married, and fell in love with someone else. I also know heterosexuals that came out as homosexuals later. Maybe that means that heterosexuals shouldn't be allowed to get married.

PEOPLE are people. Who someone else loves or marries is none of your business.
Oh yeah, I love those that switch sides halfway through life and leave angry, upset children behind.

Idiots.

Idiots.
So its OK if they leave their spouses as long as their new love interests are still opposite-sex?

Sometimes, but the same happens when heteros divorce with children sometimes.
Should we deny heteros equal rights because of the actions of some of them?

These people have a very limited life view, very and tunnel vision. When they read articles that say, "I once was this and now I'm not," they get very confused and resort to believing their ridiculous and preposterous religious bigotry. We have to remember that these people are not very well educated, and will jump to the most idiotic conclusions because they lack analytical ability. I realize the press is to blame, but maybe people should think twice before making comments that add to the confusion of the uneducated and hate-filled.

Bigotry is not just the domain of the Religous or the right. Theres enough bigotry against Bi-sexuals ( amongst other things) on GLBT forums it makes CD posters look very tame.

There is bigotry against bisexuals in the LGBT community, and I see that as a problem. However we aren't trying to deny bisexuals equal rights as American citizens.

I think their biggest objection is using the word 'Married'. You could probably identify with that stand point better than I would having been married to a man. I'm sure it is ingrained in their heads that parents and married people are to supposed man and a woman and that will be difficult to change.
