Try being gay...
maybe try gay sex too.


Using your mentality, I can say.... How can you disprove a lifestyle if you never tried it?

Those with less education seem more easily coerced into Bible literalism and all types of intolerance". What is your interpretation of what is being implied here? Is it lack of education that makes one in disagreement with another's lifestyle? IF that is the case then we are ALL lacking education because surely no one is in agreement with the way everyone lives their lives. I disagree with the gay lifestyle, take it as you may, but I am sure that I don't go around cursing gays, scorning them or even hating on them. My gay friends know that I don't agree with their sexuality and they accept that and you know something that's all that matters to me. Bottom line we still get along very well.

I would imagine such people would only tell you that they don't need to pick up a rattlesnake and get bitten by it to find out that it's a bad idea to actually fool around with.

It's hard to find in this world, why would you want to deny that to a human?

BTW, gay is not a "lifestyle" - it is a person's sexual orientation.
A person lifestyle and sexual orientation is one in the same..Heterosexual orientation and lifestyle vs. Homosexual orientation and lifestyle. Homosexual Marriage will never put Homosexual on a even footing as long as the Federal Government withhold federal benefits given to Heterosexual couples to Homosexual Couples do you follow my logic. This is the reason why Homosexual should've tried the Domestic Partnership or Civil Union route then partictioned the Federal Government for Federal Marital Benefits granted to those Relationship Of Love.

You are talking apples and watermelons you can't relate Homosexuality to Skin Color and Sex or Gender....people have 0 control over their's Skin Color and Gender At Birth...however Homosexual do have complete control over their's Homosexual activities , pretty much like Heterosexual whom all are predisposed to being Polygamy but through the exercise of their's own free will decide to be Monogamy.

So I guess they can just flick a switch and "turn straight," right?

Life stye and orientation are no where the same. Life style is just that and it has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Domestic partnership is missing over 1100 rights that married couples get. A domestic partner does not inherit the property of his or her spouse and if a family member so chooses, they can block access to hospital visits. The federal government withholding benefits and rights to same sex couples that are there for married same sex couples is the federal government mandating discrimination against gays. Predisposed towards polygamy? LOL

You can relate them, and I just did. They are all the same thing. If you are not gay, you are in no place to state that being gay is a choice.

If anyone is comparing apples to watermelons it is you. No one has control over their sexual orientation at birth, same as with race or gender. Why you are throwing activities into the comparison is a mystery to me. Care to explain?

Not necessarily.
What about all of these Republican political figures who have been living a lie of being straight..
What about the countless others who have been forced to maintain a lie for fear of their livelihoods and in some cases, their lives?

What is the gay “lifestyle” – what do they do differently from straights, other than in the privacy of their bedrooms?

Why aren’t all people granted the same rights in the US?

People are born gay or straight.
There’s no control.

Doesn’t meet your requirements? Too bad.
Ever consider being with someone of the same sex? Then you know how gay and lesbian people feel about being with the opposite sex.
It’s not a choice, just like color, gender or the country you’re born in.

Don’t ask others to not enjoy sexual relations unless you are willing to give that up for yourself.
