Fact? Says who? You ignore all the "civilian gays" who have grown up in a heterosexual home, maybe even in rural areas. People who have never had anything to do with homosexuals when growing up, still they are gay from puberty on and oftentimes suffer from it. Neither were they taught to be gay, nor did they chose to be.

I was just pointing out the fact that public attitudes can change quickly.
No, you didn’t specify any particular poster. I merely responded to your comments. I don’t know you either, but how is that relevant?

Didn't the OP say in some other thread he doesn't "support the Homosexual agenda" ? Dosen't sound very gay to me. He's just baiting. And you all fell for it.

Bulimia is taught
Drug use is taught
They become a mental illness in your head, if you let it overcome your being.

Your issue is with the author, Paul Cameron Ph. D, not I.
So are you asexual?

Should there be votes on whether to ban interracial marriage?

An article snippet in 2009:

(AP) NEW ORLEANS A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have. Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.
"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."




So, if gay marriage is banned for not being natural. Shouldn't interracial marriage be banned for not being natural (in the sense that it's not common and such)?

How would ya'll feel if interracial marriage was banned?


I have a better idea lets ban stupid bigoted hate filled people. they seem to add nothing to the world and certainly must be unnatural

yup, OP is baiting. I haven't combed through the thread but it seems the OP hasn't even returned to discuss. Possibly a racist AND a coward. Not being able to marry his boyfriend should be the least of his worries.

He's not gay. That's what I tried to say above. But that's why people can't let it go. Make it even more interesting now.

Wow, that was a big twist to get to your agenda.
I'm impressed!
Laws in some (quite a few actually) states used to define marriage as between a man and woman of the same race. True the SCOTUS overturned those laws 40 some years ago, but they were there. Take a look at Loving v Virginia.
As for "twisting" of logic, I don't see it as that big a difference. Current state constitutions declare same sex marriage illegal for much the same reasons previous state laws declared interracial marriage to be illegal - it doesn't fit everyone's ideas about what marriage is. But that's what I've always considered one of the best things about this country - one doesn't have to live according to anyone else's rules about how to live a good and happy life!
