    I know identical twins where one is gay and one is not.

    They have identical genes.

    [/QUOTE]

    It was never proven to be a mental disorder. Believe me, if they could sell a drug, it could be considered a serious medical condition. Its funny how kids used to be wiggly, but now there is a drug to sell, they have ADHD!

    Homosexuality, fair housing and employment, are not mentioned in the constitution. There is also nothing about having to accommodate the disabled.

    It is not too bad for me that religion is protected because it also comes with freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to peacefully assemble, and petition the government for a redress of grievances.

    Like I said, in some states, this will be tolerated longer. Obviously you understand my preferred citizen position, so we can just part ways on that. Where I live, we have preferred citizens when it comes to the second amendment. CCWs are issued to politicians, judges, and friends of the sheriff dept. They believe the constitution only protects their rights.

    I support gun rights for gay married couples as well!

    I appreciate the discussion. Have a great weekend.

    It's not a newly minted right, it's a recognition that they should never have been disenfranchised from access to the same contract their heterosexual counterparts enjoy. There was no rational basis for this exclusion.

    Probably not but they have victims not legally consenting partners.

    You really hate gay people don't you? What have they ever done that's so terrible to you?

    That is the science that proves that homosexuality is purely genetic? Surely you can't be serious.

    I do not hate gay people. I do hate how lefties use them as pawns.

    Identical is not as identical as one might think. In one recent twin study one went into space and the other did not. Upon the one's return they were no longer identical in ways they were previously.

    Evironmental stimulus has an effect.

    The claim is that it is not a choice - at least not in many cases. There is one's pure genetics and then a host of other factors that play into personality, tastes and preferences.

    See post 6 and respond.

    Evidently you're under the impression that somehow excludes victimization. How very...odd.

    One day (as I have pointed out several times in the last decade) you might say something that is, at least, intelligible to me. In the meantime, can we continue our gentlemans' agreement not to reply to each other? We don't belong on the same planet.

    Hey, you were the one that said it was genetic, not I. Now you're claiming it's not?

    Why do Christians hate gays so much? There are stupid passages in the Bible about gays, but there are also stupid passages about witches, stoning stubborn kids, and killing goats. Nobody believes that **** anymore, but yet the gay thing has stuck with Christians. Quite possibly because quite a few Christian men are in serious denial about their sexual orientation.

    As a Christian myself, I can tell you that I've never met a Christian that hates gays.
    I certainly don't hate gays.

    Perhaps you mistake not agreeing with them with hating them.

    I used to go to a local park in a canyon preserve and BBQ, drink beers, and listen to Padres games.
    It was a time to myself that I enjoyed very much.

    Anyway, the same park was a hotbed for gay men, but that didn't matter to me.
    I was propositioned many times there.

    I got into conversations sometimes, when I felt like it.
    I will never forget the one guy who kept telling me that if I close my eyes I won't know the difference.
    That was probably true, but not enough for me to accept what was being offered.

    I just don't find men attractive, at all.
    They are hairy and disgusting.

    And I should know because I am one.
    I can't understand for one minute how any women are attracted to us.
    LOL

    You have a warped sense of perception.

    Because they have done all those other things already, animal sacrifice - Salem - they are not exactly reasonable people.

    No that you should expect someone that believes their chosen religion (out of 4,200) and the particular sect of that chosen religion (there are thousands of Christianity alone) is the only correct path in life.

    They try to distance mainstream Christianity from extremist Islam - but they are the same.

    I don't recall in anything in Christian teachings about throwing gay men off the roofs of buildings.
    Or to stone to death an adulterous woman.
    Or to kill people who leave the religion.

    Or to kill people that make a cartoon of Jesus Christ.

    We probably shouldn't get into the throwing of acid in the face.
    That won't go well.

    Maybe I'm missing the parallels that you are seeking to highlight?
    (that could be a good conversation)

    Can you point to where the koran teaches those things?
    Christians own the crusades, the Salem witch trials, and in essence the KKK.

    There are numerous Christian terrorist groups around the world.
    It’s cute how you are trying to make me defend Islam - I won’t. Religion in the public sphere is barbaric and should be eradicated when it is encountered. It is a plague upon this Earth.

    Seeing I'm unaware of any such agreement, that's a negatory.
    That one's been done to death for decades, in case you somehow didn't know.
