Um, it's widespread within the natural world. It's been observed in essentially every higher animal species, and is especially prevalent in birds and mammals (humans are mammals, by the way). It's existed in every human culture since we started recording our history.

The question isn't, is homosexuality natural. The question is why and how has homosexuality been selected for an maintained within so many species (including humans).

Because as I have already explained, how do you justify saying homosexual relationships are equal to heterosexual relationships when they are not? They are not equal or the same. You can have civil unions and be recognized in that way, but to put it on the same level as a heterosexual relationship and call it marriage, is just something that I disagree with.
Why would we create two identical laws (but with different titles), that do the exactly same thing - one for gay people and the other for straight people??? The only reason would be for the purpose of making sure gays realize they aren't deserving of being thought of in the same regard as straight people. Doing so is the epitome of disrespect (not to mention antithetical to the Constitutional promise of equal protection under the laws enshrined in the 14th Amendment).

Our culture is saturated with sex, we can have a dozen half naked women shaking their breasts and assets on the sideline, but God forbid a man kisses his boyfriend during the happiest moment of his life.


As far as getting punished, the NFL can do whatever it likes to its employees in regards to discrimination.

After all, we wouldnt want big government intervening, would we?
They are nothing but hypocrites bowing to public opinion.
Did anyone get in trouble regarding the mocking of Tebow ?

Yes, but what does that have to do with relationships and a man kissing his partner in joy? And I would beg to differ, my parents raising me has a massive impact on my life.

Disagreeing with something does not make one a bigot. If someone thinks two siblings kissing is gross does not make them a bigot.

Meaning not the same, right?

The poster's point was well they are all relationships so why does it matter. The point is there are differences just like there are with any other type of relationships and people on here will not recognize the difference because it doesn't fit their argument.

True, but the comments on this thread reveal the actual bigotry.

Which, of course, means it's just another day on CD.

It has to do with people stating that a gay couple and a heterosexual couple is the same. They are not. One can create life and their bodies are made to create life. The other couple can never do this.

Thinking he shouldn't be allowed to kiss his partner in public is being a bigot. Do you think he should have been allowed to kiss his partner?

Or a mother and son ...remember those beach pictures of Stephanie Seymour and her sons.
People dismissed that because her son is gay so it was ok.

In that case, forcing people to agree with you can be a form of bigotry.
