Cruel Joke or Medical Anomaly? Proponents of same-sex "marriage" owe us an answer

The Physiology of Mankind
"Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage. This I tell ya, brother, you can't have one without the other." Neither can you have a marrriage without a man and a woman, unless youre the Massacheutts Supreme Courtto whom I ask the following question.
Why is one hundred percent of the homosexual population physiologically heterosexual?
When I asked that question before a group of university students, one said the question contained a presumptionthat homosexuals were physiologically heterosexual. I am always open to differing views, yet he offered no explanation. In postmodernism one need not waste syllables buttressing ones viewsverbalizing a belief automatically makes it factual. Hubert Humphrey said, "The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously." The student reminded me of a man who, on another occasion, steadfastly disagreed when I said that at conception the man determines the sex of the child. "Every man has a right to his own opinion, but he does not have a right to his own set of facts."
My statement regarding human physiology is neither sexist nor politically motivated. It is a fact.
Look at this statement from two perspectivesfirst, a theological perspective and second, a medical perspective.
If in fact God creates some people as homosexuals, we must conclude that God has played a cruel joke on them. He has engineered their minds and emotions for attraction to the same-sex and yet created their physiology to be in direct opposition to that attraction. Such an act would be malicious. Only a sadistic god would conceive and conduct such a horrific deed.
Look at the statement from a medical perspective! If homosexuality is a naturally occurring phenomenona legitimate alternative to Mankinds expression of sexuality, we would have to conclude that homosexuals bear severe physiological anomalies.
I am aware the previous conclusion may infuriate some; few things anger people more than uttering a logical thought. Truth has always angered peoplewhich is why some wise sage cautioned, "Tell the truth and run!"
But alas I do not believe the conclusion because I do not believe homosexuality to be moral.
If for no other reason, homosexuality is illegitimate in that it is anatomically unsuitable.
The Ingenuity of the Physical Body
Regardless from where you believe Mankind originated, we must agree that the human body is the work of a genius. How do we account for tear ducts that automatically flush the eye when a microscopic grain of sand invades them? Who can fathom how an arm or leg produces chill bumps, which in turn raises the hairs on those limbs in order to reduce the amount of body heat being expended by a cold wind?
These mysteries of the human body include libido. When sexually aroused, the womans body changes through a series of preparations. Her vagina lengthens for a distinct reason. Her body, equipped with Bartholins gland, produces lubrication for a distinct reason. More intricate than any scientific invention ever conceived or constructed, the outer third of her vagina swells with blood for a distinct reason. The Psalmist was correct--we are "fearfully and wonderfully made." (Psalm 139:14)
But these incredible workings lead us to another question which refuses to be ignored--why would such physiological changes occur in homosexual women when the changes do nothing to assist sexual interaction?
One cannot simply dismiss the question as irrelevant. If God makes no mistakes, and He does not, what accounts for this dichotomy among homosexuals? If homosexuality is "natural" why the inappropriate and unnecessary body changes?
No legitimate answer exists. God desires each of us to become personally what He has created us to be physiologically, biologically and anatomically.
The Universality of Sin
The answer to why homosexuality exists is sina universal condition unconfined to homosexuals; one hundred percent of the worlds population are sinners. " for all have sinned and come short of Gods glory." (Romans 3:23)
And the answer to sin is Jesus Christ who, by the way, performed His first miracle during the marriage of a man and a woman.
The proponents of homosexual "marriage" appear to have all the answers. What say ye? Is this phenomenon a cruel joke or a medical anomaly?
Not true. Bhagavad Gita states that the only sex which is holy is that which is not against religious principles - marriage. The teachings in the other parts of the Mahabharat are clear on that, as is the Manu Samhita. The only semi-Vedic source for your assertion (as far as I can tell) is the left-handed Tantrists, who are considered apostates and deviants by strict Vedic followers. In fact, classic Tantric teachers such as David Frawley (who has written more on that branch of Vedic practice without misinterpretation than anyone else in the west that I know of), as well as the entire Ayurvedic body of knowledge, condemn masturbation, oral and anal sex as well as same sex acts as extremely unhealthy and immoral. The Puranas place a great emphasis on not "spilling seed" except in one's legitimate wedded wife. In fact, legitimate sex with one's wedded wife is considered as good as strict celibacy, which is the only alternate for pious Vedic followers.
Christianity and Judiasm see sex as for procreation, while the Vedas take quite a different tact.
Obviously you are not a scholar of the Vedas. In fact, I doubt if you have read any of the Vedic texts.
Tibetian buddhism is but one form of buddhism, which is derivative from vedic culture but quite different in this area.
Buddhist texts are pretty clear in their condemnation of illicit sexual acts. And as far as modern Buddhists, a person I know went to Taiwan to speak to Buddhist leaders there about the dangers of promoting homosexuality. When he showed them books such as "Heather has Two Mommies" they were shocked beyond belief.
In the Koran, it is allowed to have sex slaves/concubines...
Details. The Koran forbids same sex acts as well as all kinds of bestiality. In fact, it goes into lists of all the different kinds of animals and relatives one should not have sex with. Slavery was common all over the world at that time.
My point is that every monotheist religion has more or less the same standards of morality - in the realm of sex as well as in other dealings such as theft, murder, lying and so on. What point are you trying to prove there?
According to the Dalai Lama, there is a deity. Nothingness is a way to represent the ineffable.
I think Dr. Laura had it right when she described homosexualtiy as something having gone biologically awry. I mean after all, cancer, heart disease, etc can all be traced to one's genetic makeup, doesn't make any of them a good thing.
As we try to undo those genetic mistakes we should also try to undo the genetic mishap of homosexuality for any of the tormented souls who don't wish to be attracted to their own kind.
When I rented my first apartment it was right smack in the middle of the Gay section of Buffalo, NY. Gay? What a misnomer; what I observed was a bunch of frantic souls following a lead they simultaneously loved and despised. Very shallow and depressing existence.
How does one prove that? Have they been subjected to some sort of system of measure where it can be proven physiologically that they did indeed have an orgasm? Or do they just say they have had an orgasm and leave it at that?
Oh, don’t worry about the homosexuals. Evolution will sort them out of the gene pool soon enough.
