You lost the argument when you resort to name calling.

Your seething intolerance, hatred and bigotry shines through.

Because of me? What exactly did I do? Be specific.

I believe sexuality is environmental and that people can change if they really wanted to (which according to Kinsey it can). It's a lifestyle, and lifestyles can be ingrained in a person and hard to break, but it can happen. People have bought into the "born gay" lie because it makes it easier for them to justify, it makes them happy so they believe it.
Interestingly, "religion" is a choice, too.

Why are there laws that protect Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and other religious minorities civil rights when they could just just change and convert to Christianity?

Yet the law books are full of statutes and regulations that protect these folks from discrimination whether in employment, credit, housing and public accommodations.

Once upon a time - back in the days when African Americans wouldn't be served at the lunch counter or had to sit in the back of the bus - Jews were barred from many of the best hotels, shops, restaurants or even buying a home in certain cities and towns. I mean, Jews could have changed their religion, couldn't they (... and a few did).

How did you decide that? Have you done the scientific research?

Why not hate the ignorance?
Why do you equate ignorance with hate? Why do you think anyone who disagrees with you is hateful?

Jesus Christ... Such denial. Such delusion. You can believe whatever you want, but that doesn't change the science. Of course, anyone who believes in God has to be at least a little bit irrational, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised to read such tripe.

And why would you cite Kinsey from 50 years ago, but disregard the scientific consensus of scientists today? Do you only believe the science that fits your ideology?

With that said, I do disagree with forcing the owners of private property to host the wedding event.
