So for now I will stay with the science.

Then you should investigate twinning and figure out why there is not a 100% correlation between fraternal twins in their "choice" of sexuality.

I will check out the links. It has always been my intent to deal with this issue based on science and equality. This is not an emotional issue for me, though I feel it is for many posting on this thread.

Did you mean to say identical twins? Such a study would be far more meaningful.

I do not place as high an emphasis on scientific findings as farmfriend seems to do. Believing science has the answer to social questions is part of the problem of the secular humanists.

People are people. Whether being gay were 100% genetics or 100% choice makes not a whit of difference to me over the two questions panther33 posed.

Does the U.S. government have a right to ban gay marriage?
Can America justify making homosexuality illegal?

Marriage is currently defined as one man, one woman. Mixed marriages were banned. That is correct terminology. But gay marriage is a new concept altogether.

Homosexuality, defined as a sexual preference or orientation, is not illegal anywhere in the fifty states, nor is anyone proposing that it be made illegal. So that is a weird question to pose. Sodomy laws criminalized a behavior. I am opposed to sodomy laws, because I value anyone's freedom to do that in private. I do think it is none of anyone else's business. Making such laws unconstitutional was a very bad SCOTUS decision, however, that will bring a lot of harm.
