Even if "wired" the homosexual behavior does not rise to marriage because homosexual sex does not produce children. marriage has always been about raising children and providing for subsequent generations.

Homosexuals are only about sex.

Besides, if homosexuals are truly wired, then it can be cured or prevented as a birth defect.

It is not genetic. There is no "gay gene". Homosexuals recruit. This is why there is GLSEN and the GSA in schools recruiting children.

I think that was sarcasm..as stated and tongue in cheek,noting that the outrage is not only understandable but the comparison is so twisted it has no credibility for anyone but an extremist.

It is a laughable comparison in my view.....a stretch way too far to be taken with any seriousness.

In an ideal world, they would (and should) become extinct!

"You don't simply start calling a bunch of pigeaons ducks just because these pigeons think that ducks get a better deal in life."

Well said, and the perfect metaphor for the problem. To allow 'pigeons' to be called ducks would be tantamount to legally allowing bottled hosspiss to be labeled and sold as 'Coca-Cola.' To allow lemons to be labeled and sold as peaches.

Clearly the interracial couples are homophobes. In retaliation, after the revolution, the gays will declare all interracial marriages invalid. That'll teach 'em! </s a r c a s m>

No, from Caesar's (the government) point of view, marriage is a set of privileges and rights bestowed on those that enter into a binding contract in order to provide for children and develop something it (the government) values - families. And with our equal protection clause and if the hardwire camp is right, then to deny these privileges and rights based on an uncontrollable status would be unconstitutional.

At one time your man and woman argument held only if they were of the same race, an uncontrollable status.

To end the argument - end government sanctioning of marriage. Let only the secular organizations marry people. For the governmental benefits - have folks be "registered". The government could says it values monogamy and families, and limit registration to two adults in order to encourage what it values.

"If you believe that homosexuals are hardwired from birth to be gay..."

I was thinking about this today, and I was thinking that it doesn't really matter. People can claim to be, and maybe are, "hardwired from birth" to be a lot of things, but that alone doesn't make those things acceptable.

For example, there are some violent people who have been violent for their entire lives, right back to their childhoods. It is entirely plausible that they are "just born that way", but what's the difference, society will not approve of their going around committing violence.

I don't mean to equate homosexuality per se with violence, but I certainly can't equate it with race or ethnicity as it is defined by behavior, nevermind the queer theorists and their gobboldey gook.

Marriage exists because it is via heterosexual coupling that offspring are produced. The fact that many married couples never have, or cannot have, children doesn't change this.

The only option I can support in this debate is somekind of "household" plan, where two (I think we better keep it to two, or the record keepers of the world will show us what a REAL revolution is like) persons can form a civil union (to borrow a phrase) without regard to whether they are lovers or not. This will protect the homos and serve their purposes (most of which are pretty understandable), it will distinguish such arrangements from true marriage, and as the boomers age it may well help some ordinary single folks get through life a little more easily.

For what it's worth!

The left is taking these comparisons very serriously. The homosexuals who work at the courthouse are chatting about SF and Mass. They want this state to be next. (the marriage license clerk did turn them away)

The left and Democrat party true believers are buying all of this hook line and sinker.

You could tell the left that spagetti is the reason to allow homosexuals to marry and the true believers would agree. (and the dumies would start a thread displaying why spagetti is the obvious reason.)

No soap radio.

"Interracially" married? Is that when the bride and the groom are both white and the preacher is black? No wonder they feel insulted.

Special rights for gays.

That's right! In later years, Moses had a black wife.
Aaron & his sister, Miriam, criticized Moses for this.
God struck Aaron and Miriam with the inability to speak.
What could be clearer than that example? (Moses had to pray
for them for it to be lifted!)

Bigots try to give the example of the "mark" on Cain. No one
knows what the mark on Cain was. - Those who claim to
believe scripture; in the time of the flood, EVERYONE in the
world was on the ark. EVERYONE (eight people) started over
populating the earth. We are all kin to each other.
Proximity to the Equator as these people spread out over
the earth dictated skin color. I am medium toned because
most of my ancestors were in Europe. Someone else may be
black because most of their ancestors had to genetically
cope with living nearer the Equator. Someone else is fair
& blonde because their ancestors were Vikings from the
northern climates. (Ann Coulter, for instance, who is
also tall, slim, fair, blonde and beautiful, blast her!)

I disagree

One's sexual conduct is the product of free will and not an immutable, morally neutral characteristic like one's ethnicity or gender. Even if you could somehow prove that one's sexual orientation is genetically predetermined the capacity for free choice in terms of behavior still remains.
