[. . . they don’t keep it private and that is the problem.]
Personal anecdote: I know a lot of people and am fortunate to have made many friends over the years. A significant number of them are gays and lesbians. My personal experience tells me that “deviants” are no more or less moral than straight people.
I’m truly sorry that your 2000 year old book of wisdom has mislead you into believing they are depraved and evil. And they are certainly not demanding attention other than where necessary to achieve equality under the law. Two of my lesbians friends waited patiently for 6 years until the state of Illinois began issuing same sex marriage licenses last year. They were the first ever same sex couple to be married in Kane County, yet they made no big deal of that fact and sought no publicity. They were just happy they could be legally married. By the way, I took the pictures at their private ceremony. Both brides were radiant.
Now why can’t those who personally believe they should act according to words written in their Bible keep their practices “private”?
A great number of people, myself included, don’t want our government basing its laws on a primitive book of fairy tales that dubiously claims to be the word of God and the source of all that is moral, but condones tribal warfare, slavery, the subjugation of women and the murder of those who think the wrong way.
There. I trust that makes clear the position of tens of millions of decent American citizens who are fed up with religious zealots trying to control everyone’s private lives all the time. Mind your own business.
FR is not for godless homosexual pushers. Bye.
So you don't want the government governing based on "Keeping up with the Kardashians." What's that have to do with the Bible?
In after midnight zot
You can keep saying mind your own business,and I will keep telling you it IS my business-and the business of every decent institution,private or governmental.
Go back in your closet and STFU.

“Health Risks of the Homosexual Lifestyle”
The current media portrayal of gay and lesbian relationships is that they are as healthy, stable and loving as heterosexual marriages — or even more so.1 Medical associations are promoting somewhat similar messages.2 Sexual relationships between members of the same sex, however, expose gays, lesbians and bisexuals to extreme risks of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), physical injuries, mental disorders and even a shortened life span. There are five major distinctions between gay and heterosexual relationships, with specific medical consequences. They are:

so everyone is to support homosexual marriage. Really look at the rules of nature sometimes people call it natural law. Marriage is between a Man and A Woman that is how God intended it. Excuse me but but what has happened in America is that political correctness has run amok.
I am a pastor in a conservative church and guess what i will not marry a man and a man and a woman and a woman. I do not care what the court tells me or the State of Michigan states that it recognizes gay marriage. So the tradition of marriage is over because the Supreme Court states that it recognizes gay marriage as law. Really the Supreme Court writes legislation. gee then there is no need for elected representatives anymore as the courts now determine by their opinion what is and what is not law. I hope he FR Administrator will remove you from FR as you are mindless liberal whom desires to shove perverts and malcontents down the faces of those whom believe homosexuality is a sin and is not natural So basically spinestein Go to Hades!
