At the end of the day, all of you against gay marriage are not worth arguing with as you cannot see the issue for what it is at its very core. Say what you will, but as has been said before, you are most certainly denying the rights of one group that another has. I am fairly confident this will change sometime in the future, but it will take time and understanding. Actually spending some time with gays helps a lot, as you grow to appreciate them for the PEOPLE that they truly are. They're not out to rape your children and destroy the family structure, they just want to be able to live their lives free of the hate and inequality that many of us enjoy. Haters are quick to point out the choice of inequity based on religion but thankfully this country isn't ENTIRELY run by the Christian religion, we have the FREEDOM to become who we want, to ask the questions of life and the meaning of it. The questions between choice and genetic disposition that ultimately we can never really answer 100%, just like what happens when we die. These questions are BEAUTIFUL and awesome and give my mind a never ending source of wonder. I am just fine with not knowing what happens when I die, it makes things interesting. It doesn't really matter what you think God thinks, it matters what YOU think. So ask the damn questions, think for yourself, question authority. Who knows if there is a gay gene or if it is purely choice, or a combination of both, or brought about by developmental patterns of life? Not I, and not you. Bottom line is that we can't say it is one or the other, the human body and mind are far to complex to simplify the matter. When it comes down to it, it all points back to freedom. The freedom to be who you are and not be made fun of, beaten, killed, and denied the rights of your fellow man. You are and should be free to disagree that Homosexuality is right/wrong a sin/not a sin whatever you want. That opinion, however, should not detract from the freedom of expression and civil rights that you yourself enjoy, isn't that fair? Sadly most of the people that will read this have already made up their mind and will never reconsider (...the worst and most dangerous kind of ignorance). But by getting this out for myself, I can at least assure myself that I have thought about it in a rational and logical manner in the spirit of which freedom rings.
Enjoy your day all.
