becareful about distinguishing behavior from traits. Practicing religion is a behavior and not a trait.

This is true. So is homosexual behavior.

If you find a dead man, you will know immediately whether he was white or black. You will not know whether he was gay or straight, or whether he was Christian or atheist.

Based on this simple analysis, people do not gain civil rights based on their sexual preferences.

Shalom.

"So is homosexual behavior."

Is that so?

Tell me, do you remember the exact moment you chose to be a heterosexual?

If homosexuality of a "choice" and not a trait, then it stands to reason that all of us had to make that choice at one point or another in life, and decide whether we are attracted to persons of the same sex, or of the opposite sex.

At what age did you make that choice?

"Based on this simple analysis, people do not gain civil rights based on their sexual preferences."

Gays are not trying to "gain" civil rights, they are trying to stop others from violating them.

You on the other hand, are arguing in favor of limiting civil rights based on that very same sexual orientation that you claim not to believe in!
