What they forget to mention is the health hazards of the homosexual lifestyle.
When you demonstrate to me that you have an equally all-consuming opposition to smoking and obesity, I'll believe your opposition to gays is rooted in your concern about their health rather than your irrational animus toward them.

you mean like the constant diet programs on tv. LOOSE WEIGHT NOW!!!! they scream. How about quit smoking? Use the patch change your behavior. YOU CAN RESIST TEMPTATION they scream.
Its a behavior, it can be modified. Of course there will be some fat people and smokers who refuse to end their destructive behavior, that does not mean they did not try and that others should not also try.

You've missed the entire point. But since you mentioned it, there are plenty of people who are fat and are not uncomfortable with it. There are plenty who smoke and see no need and have no intention to quit. And that is for them to decide, not you.
You choose to eat a healthy balanced diet, excercise, and not smoke. Good for you. No one is forcing you to eat greasy burgers or smoke cigarettes. I guess it's too much to hope that this analogy won't be lost on you.

The real point is we don't have smokers and obese folks talking to our school kids that smoking and being obese is okay and there are no health consequences. Where we do have GLSEN and others telling school kids it's okay to be gay and even discussing fisting.
