Doesn't matter whether or not this is a choice or you're born that way. People have the right to have sex with others of the same gender if they so choose and the government doesn't have the right to make it illegal. These human rights are spelled out in the declaration of independence. Furthermore, the government does not have this power. It may cease it, but it oversteps those powers given derived by the people.

Allow me to summarize what you're saying. Homosexuals and heterosexuals are only different as to the choice of their partner, one is same-sex, the other opposite sex, but that they are equal in that both engage in the same types of sexual conduct. You also believe that society has no right to regulate sexual conduct even if it threatens the public health, but you would make an exception for pedophiles. Is that about right?

Where was this right derived and where was it ever exercized. Under the laws of this country you statement is false.

These human rights are spelled out in the declaration of independence.
Please cite any reference to sexual activity in the Declaration.

Nobody is calling for taking away that right. What this article says is that (1) homosexuality is a learned behavior, (2) it is inappropriate to confer special rights to those who engage in behaviors by choice and are subsequently discriminated against, and (3) we should not be legitimizing the behavior because activists assert that their homosexuality is an innate trait.

Fine. They do not have the right to change the definition of marriage, nor should they have the right to promote their lifestyle to minor children!
