Why should a person have “rights” conferred upon them simply by the type of sex they wish to engage in?
Homosexuality is defined soley by the sexually perverse practices CHOSEN by the people.
You don’t confer rights on sexual choices.
Why would a person consciously CHOSE a lifestyle that will alienate his family, his friends, expose him to a life of derision and ridicule?
Some people are simply born this way, percentage-wise, it’s about the same percentage of people born with a cleft palete, a club foot or other birth defect. I think we can both agree that this is not a ‘normal’ situation, as it is not designed to aide the species and does not replicate.
I, and a great deal of others, do not believe that a truly gay person chooses to be this way. There is a segment of society that claim to be bi-sexual; and I would agree that this segment actively choses to be homosexual - anything that gets them their jollies is fair game. However, for a man to prefer a man (over a woman) is something I cannot comprehend - and I believe is a trait that is hard-wired. I believe this is a defect, not a choice.
