I'm sorry you were raised this way.

I'm not sure why you think other people should behave according to your personal religious beliefs. Those are your beliefs, for you to live your life by. Other people have their beliefs to live their lives by. It's all good, as long as you aren't physically hurting anyone.

So if your kid is gay, you are arguing they shouldnt feel normal ? I have never understood this argument from conservatives

It like you believe there is some barrier you hit at 18 that flips on some switches in your head and nothing existed before. Thats not how the real world works.

If my kid was gay, I wouldn't expect him to go around glorifying and promoting it for others. That's the difference you can't understand. There is one point to human sexuality, and that is procreation, that's the primary purpose. Not the only purpose, but that is why we have a sexual attraction to the opposite sex. So, no, it isn't "normal" at its very basic principal.

Admit it
If the OP votes in my county (he may still have his house that he's owned longer in another county), then he's voting in the only county in the country where Trump beat Hillary by more than 100,000 votes. Trump didn't get there with my vote, nor Scooby Snacks' vote (her house is in the same county) but, IIRC, the OP voted for Trump.

Got it, you would disown your kid and pretend sexuality didnt exist until the age of 18 . Thanks for the clarification.

Don't forget, his "loving" god threatens to torture you for eternity if you dare to believe differently than what the Bible says.

So now you have to make up things I didn't say? Where did I say that? Please show me the quote.

People like you believe that if you don't constantly bang the "gay is great!" drum, and promote and glorify them and their lifestyle as the preferred, you're a homophobe. Pathetic.

I'm not arguing for or against homosexuality. It's not a lifestyle for me. I am a straight male. With this in mind, the 1 million same sex households is dwarfed by the number of households that consist of single people.

According to the U.S. Census, over 35 million households are headed by single people.
https://www.census.gov/newsroom/pres.../families.html

Alot of people, alot of heterosexual people, aren't getting married or having kids at all. I'm one of those heterosexual persons in their 30s who have never had kids or has never been married.

I'm not a big proponent of homosexuality, but I think there are some other things to look at as well.
