Same Sex Marriage?

TC, did you ever respond to the resons posted that being gay is not a choice? (I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I just wanted to know.)If you did reply, I don't see it and I would be glad if you would point it out to me.

Seeing as I don't have to go fish for this thread anymore, I'll add something that I wanted to say a while ago...

The whole "being gay is a choice" thing is complete BS. If gay people could simply choose to be straight, I'm sure most would, just to be able to fit in and not feel separated from people who don't agree with their lifestyle. Just my two cents.

You're right, but in another way you're wrong...

Homosexuality is not, and nowhere near a choice in life. It can be proven, however, not with the statement you chose.

Absolutely incorrect. However weird this may sound, sexual preference is sort of similar to a hobbie or interest (bear with me). Some people love roller coasters, and others like, whatever, airplanes if you will. Neither of those two are going to adjust themselves simply because a chuck of society doesn't make room for them...

^ But then again, people usually don't get beat the crap out of for liking roller coasters or airplanes. Also, if I had never seen or heard of a roller coaster in my life I'm sure I wouldn't have a liking for them. It doesn't work the same way for sexuality. I for on believe that sexuality is a natural, inborn thing. People aren't born with a love of roller coasters for example, however, I believe people are born with a sexuality.

I resent that.

Crazy Monkey - you are way out in left field.

For someone like me (and alot of others) whos worlds revolve around coasters we WERE born with it. Maybe it took awhile for it to manifest, but I certainly know that I love coasters so much, its such a part of who I am that its certainly something I was born with. Maybe you arent that passionate about it like I am but a passion in life is not something you choose. Its normally something that finds you.
