"They just have to marry a person of the opposite sex, just as everyone else does when they marry"

That sure is a bury-your-head-in-the-sand argument. LOL!
That's like saying if there was a law outlawing white people to marry eachother and you saying "it's ok. You can marry just like anyone else. Just marry someone who's black, asian.. anyone other than another white person." How funny! :)

Strawman arguments are not allowed here.

The argument that people of the same sex who have "sex" with each other are somehow similar to people of the same race is not on rediculous, it is offenses to minority races (minority in this country, that is). Behavior can and often does change. Some behavior is pernicious, some is benign, and some is beneficial. Being born black, or Asian, or white, is completely neutral and no one should be discriminated against solely for belonging to a particular race.

On the other hand, one has to discriminate between different kinds of behaviors, otherwise one is acting on the level of a mental deficient. No one can claim that all behaviors are equal, in any sphere of life. And in the sphere of sexual behavior, that is glaringly true.

Since when did homosexuality have anything to do with race?

A better comparison is people who feel inclined to have sex with animals, or children, or close relatives such as would constitute incest. Homosexuality is no different and deserves no protections, particularly as it pertains to government mandates, as it will lead to attempts by all these other interested groups to normalize their perversions through similar contorted applications of civil rights laws.

All are perversions of the natural order of human behavior and should be legislated against. If people who practice homosexuality want to feel like second class citizens, that is entirely up to them. They have as many human rights as the next American does...however, they, like pedophiles, beastialists, and those practicing incest should be granted no license to just do anything they want to do, just because they want to do it.
