"It was meant constructively in terms of their love and affection for a person who is who she is," Kerry said in an interview taped for broadcast Friday night on CNN's "Paula Zahn Now." "And it was entirely as an example of how people come together around these choices, entirely constructively and respectfully."

Are we talking attraction or behavior? The latter is by choice; the former is irrelevant to matters of public policy.
Sorry Woogit, I can't disagree with you more.
Elizabeth Edwards said,"I think that [Mrs. Cheney's complaint] indicates a certain degree of shame with respect to her daughter's sexual preferences."
To me the word preferences indicates a choice.
Would it matter?
Shalom.
It was an observant catch. Kerry doesn't know what he's lying about from day to day, sentence to sentence.
How come you didn't answer the question?
Very few things Kerry hasn't flip-flopped. So far he hasn't denied that he is a Viet Nam vet.
Another good catch!
She has admitted to me that her ex boyfriend for years told her that she was lucky to have him, because no one else would take her because of her weight. She believed him (she started dating him at 14 years old). We for years tried to get her out of this relationship (we didn't know he was telling her all of this), but because of her age she rebelled against anything her family would tell her. Amazingly although she dated him for 10 years, he was so cold towards her that they never were close physically. She just assumed that the problem was her, and she wouldn't open up to any of us because she was ashamed.
When she finally matured, and broke up with him, this "lady" was there and she convinced my relative that she was gay, and that's why she was never physically involved with her boyfriend. I, as someone who loved her deeply, sat her down one day, and told her that if she really "loved" this woman I would support her because all I wanted was for her to be happy. But if she was still confused, take some time by herself, and find herself. I truly think that she didn't think she could be alone. When she discovered it was ok to be alone, she was able to step back, look at the situation, and ended the relationship. After a while, she met a wonderful man, and she is truly happier than I have ever seen her.

P.S. It's not birth, since there are thousands of ex-homosexuals, and no ex-blacks or ex-Asians.
If there is no proof of homosexual genetics, why is it now thought of as a fact? It seems the argument is now turned so that you must disprove homosexual birth via PC.
On 2000 election night, when the press prematurely announced Gore as the winner, Paula Zahn - then working for Fox - was inadvertently caught on camera raising her arms in triumph and shouting, "Yes!!!" Does anyone else remember that?
Well said... I'll go along with that.
And let me add, the reason you "...have a problem with gay marriage," is that it is an OXY-MORON by definition.
Marriage is the legal union of a Man and Woman as husband and wife. It is just what the word means. Plain and simple.
Thanks for your post. Looks like you've done some homework on the subject. I didn't see any Title: Science though. I'll dig deeper and get better informed.
My guess is that some are born that way, others are sucked into it.
My guess on that question is that it is because the majority of self-identified gays claim to believe that they were born that way.
I guess Kerry was assuming this too when he spoke FOR Ms. Cheney.
