If the premise of this is true, how do gays who are determined by birth change streams in midlife and become straight, marry the opposite sex and live on this way??
It happens all the time. These persons all reflect on the CHOICE they made in being Gay.
No. Even though most homosexuals live successful, happy lives, some homosexual or bisexual people may seek to change their sexual orientation through therapy, sometimes pressured by the influence of family members or religious groups to try and do so. The reality is that homosexuality is not an illness. It does not require treatment and is not changeable.

Hey Enomus, KJ, Jez and James.....
No dissection of my last posts??, i know it was long, but i was resoponding to 3 of you....
or is silence because my points had too much legitimacy in a logical discussion, without all the inflamitory rhetoric.
Specifically....wheres your detailed plans for implimentation of this gay marriage adgenda OTHER than "give me give me"?
it's almost humorus that you would look at gay marriage as a selfish act, almost. i'm not a politician or lawyer, it's not my job to impliment detailed plans, nor would i put the effort into it here because it would do little to change the narrow-minded views people like yourself hold. if i could show you how uncomplicated it would be i doubt it would change your opinion anyway, no? i'm here to talk about my personal opinions on homosexuality in general and what i believe is the right thing to do, sometimes doing the right thing is the harder road to choose, but because changing something might be hard, it doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.
AND...what about the rights of a democratic society to decide if/what boundaries they wish their culture to have/not?
yes, to some extent that is just a natural process, the rest is dictated by law. it's not illegal to be a homosexual, why shouldn't they be allowed to get married? do the democratic masses have a say in who you choose to marry? that's just retarded and another possible reason no one responded to your original post.
ALSO... what about already established legal/social discrimination examples i posed?
(OMG...notice i havnt thumped the bible once so far!!! imagine that...opposition not based on religions ideology....but on a logical examination of sociology.)
i don't believe anything you've said so far has had anything to do with logic, but that's just my opinion. we can agree to disagree.
