I think that everyone should enjoy the richness and fullness of marriage to someone of the opposite sex. 99.9% of the population feel that way. A lot of people are just tired of fighting with homosexuals and those who feel sorry for them.

The homosexual life is empty and shallow. Those who would wish that kind of life on someone are cruel and uncaring.

Here’s the author’s response to that (cut and paste from the article):

“I get frustrated with the veiled condescension of straight people who believe that queers “can’t help it,” and thus should be treated with tolerance and pity. To say “I was born this way” is to apologize for the person I am and for whom I love. It’s like saying I would be different if I could. I wouldn’t.”

[SNIP]

So why would I want to be any other way?

The answer, of course, is that I wouldn’t — and, more importantly, that it shouldn’t matter. The “born this way” argument is frequently used in defense of gay rights, but whether or not I deserve the same rights as straight people has nothing to do with whether I chose to be the way I am. I deserve equal rights because I’m an equal. I’m a human being sharing my life with the person I love. The life I have now is not something I ended up with because I had no other options. Make no mistake — it’s a life I chose.
