Then that should prove once and for all that if homosexuals are driven to have sex with each other ,there must be all kinds of tastes, smells about each other that are bonding them and to them, mean something, thus making their behavior based on something natural.

Good..
You were refering to the following incident.
Are you sure that it is good that a 10 year old boy should be put on a 'homo-phobic' register for calling another boy 'gay bay'?
You think that is good?

My faith?
I'm an athiest.

You're going to tell me that, in the Bible, it says that you can't put "Parent 1" and "Parent 2" boxes underneath "Mother" and "Father" on a passport form? That's morally repugnant, eh? Who is that harming? You? Families? Get real.
Sorry, that's not religious belief, that's religiously absurd scripture-warping at best.

You confuse people's rights with belief.
Gays are people. They are not a belief.
Yet you seek rights for one group (gays - you have no objection to gays adopting) but not for others (Christians - you do object to Christians adopting, very strongly).

As a descendent of neaderthals, I object to your sub-species bias.

Clearly one without any religious knowledge at all. Since you think adding a line underneath the words "Mother" and "Father" that say "Parent 1" and "Parent 2" could possibly be against someone's religious beliefs.
Sounds more like partisan retardation than anything.

Nobody is replacing your strict semantic morality here. I can see why you type of people get mad when definitions of things are changed in the name of equal rights; if it's not spelled out for you in bold text you simply can't investigate more before crying about how "politically correct" everything is while you yourself go around over-enthusing about definitions that AREN'T EVEN BEING CHANGED..
You might as well take that "politically correct madness" sticker that you folks seem to stick to everything else and glue it right on to your own foreheads. It would be a hell of a lot more accurately placed there.

A clear ad hominem attack.
I have no religious knowledge and I am a 'partisan retard' according to you?
I am neither anti-gay or anti-Christian, although I suspect strongly that you would greatly prefer it if I was anti the latter but pro the former.

P.S. the "argument" you're having with annee right now is hilarious because she is trying to point out the current double-standards from "certain people" via adverse examples and it's going right over your head.

So if it doesn't matter either way, why change it at all?
