"BS! If homosexuality was equivalent to heterosexuality it would be self-validating. It would not require the blessings of church and/or state to make them feel better."
As Rush pointed out yesterday, male behavior is very simple, they want approval and affirmation from their mates. This is biologically built into us, since the girls are the ones who choose who they mate with as we males compete for their attention. The queers on the other hand (pun intended!), are 2 boys looking for female approval and affirmation from each other and not getting it, and now think that state and church approval will be an acceptable substitute. They are wrong, as it still won't be an acceptable substitute to deep seated biological drives, but they are desperate.
Actually for men it comes down to selecting which female will be asked "will you marry me". They have multiple choice.
For women the question is simply "yes, i will marry you" or "no, i will not marry you." A yes or no question.
For homosexuals, its a multiple choice question of who to have sex with and their answer is all of the above regardless of the consequences.
