Gay Marriage Ruling

[an]

It’s illogical to use the same argument to compare something that is normal (heterosexuality) to something that isn’t (homosexuality).
I could have sworn they said something a long this same line about interracial marriage and how black are 2nd class citizen.

I understand the opinion that homosexuality doesn’t seem normal due to physical anatomy and biological reproduction, however it would seem that most people wouldn’t chose to be gay given the challenges that accompany the gay lifestyle. Those that I know to be gay will say they were born this way, and frankly I believe them. Certainly there are some personality disordered people such as borderline personality that exhibit behaviors characteristic of sexually acting out, switching back and forth between gay and straight, but I don’t count them in the general gay population. I don’t think psychologists or scientists have come to an accepted conclusion as to why some people are gay. Regardless of the reason for homosexuality, it seems these individuals should have the same protections under the law that is allowed to all citizens.

I have watched my brother-in-law make the “choice” to be straight. On the surface his life seems pretty good – he has a nice home, good job, friends, etc, but if you look more closely he has a pretty empty and sexless marriage and has a false front around all his friends and church members – what a choice!

I am curious to know if those that do not support gay marriage have any experience knowing a commited gay couple?

Yep. I’ve known a good friend of mine and his partner for many years.

Rustico, I think it’s an intellectual discussion in that we are physiologically made to be with the opposite sex. It’s hard to argue with that. On an emotional level, it’s not an intellectual argument and we should accept those who are different, and I do.

Even though I don’t feel that homosexuality is normal, I don’t hate those who are gay.

Instead of saying that people aren’t born this way, I should have said that I think they aren’t “supposed” to be born this way. I can never believe someone is meant to be gay, and I have made it clear why I feel that way. For those who are born this way, if they are it would be because of damaged “wiring” and basically a mistake.

I know this is hurtful to Brad and others who have loved ones that are gay, but I don’t know how else to explain my view on this. And I would never look down on someone who’s hurting.

Do I think all people who claim they are gay are born this way, no I don’t. For some, I really do believe it’s a lifestyle choice, with one or more factors influencing their decision.
