I'm thowing in the towel. Its getting as tight in this thread as a politician wallet or as water tight as a frogs butt, when they start jumping on the Bible THUMPING Band Wagon.
Just go out and have fun, try it all at least once in your life. And if your not cool with it, then so be it. Just remember to, "never go to a preacher for sex info, only spiritual guidance" it will be like talking to your parents. Not good at all.

Amen, stated about as well as one can state it.

You are not born that way and there is zero proof that you are, I don't care but you need to face the truth and own up to it, stop trying to make people accept your lifes are normal and just get on with your lives.

The chimpanzee and human genomes are more than 98% identical, but there are a few short DNA sequences that have changed significantly in humans since the two species diverged about 5 million years ago (see Pollard et al., PLoS Genetics: Forces Shaping the Fastest Evolving Regions in the Human Genome). These 'Human Accelerated Regions' (HARs) provide clues into our evolution.

Most of the big differences between human and chimpanzee DNA lie in regions that do not code for genes, according to a new study. Instead, they may contain DNA sequences that control how gene-coding regions are activated and read.

Please, do continue to use ad hominem attacks against those who are different than you are. It makes my job sooooooo much easier!
Yes but we have a brain that allows us to reason, I'm evolved more than a monkey, if a person wants to go back to living in trees then be my guest.

Thats the same way I feel, I didn't say it's the only way, I just said it makes sense and is logical. Your free to believe in whatever you want.

First of all I am not gay. And I don't see gay people attacking me because I am a Heterosexual. But alot of Heteros, especially the churchy ones, love to attack on gays. Why? Just let them live and enjoy their lifes with all the civil rights that everyone else gets (Yes that includes the right to marry and be happy) and just stop the hate and the preach.
