Regardless of what the Christians believe, being gay is against nature. I don't think I need to go further on that. If someone wants to be gay, SO BE IT. Personally I think gay marriage is unnecessary.
Is it? Homosexuality has been witnessed in many species of animals and has been around in our own species for millenia, dating back possibly even to before recorded history. I think it's just one more genetic variation, an example of the flexibility of DNA which leads to life's adaptability and thus success. A biological contingency plan. It would be interesting to see if it becomes more prominent as world population goes up as a sort of natural solution to overpopulation, but a study would take decades, maybe centuries, and be inherently flawed due to social norms masking true numbers.
Prove any of that.
There are plenty of studies out there, but I'm a little busy right now to go dig them out.
Some dolphins have been known to get gay with each other, apparently to attract hot female dolphins. Not quite sure how that works out, but it's the ultimate wingman.
Some apes (bonobos I believe) put our sex obsessed society to shame. Everything about these apes comes down to sex, they love to pleasure themselves, females get nasty rubbing their biznass up against each other's, and although I'm not sure that the male apes go down each other's dirt roads, I certainly wouldnt be surprised.
Not to mention the fact that homosexuality was an integral part of the greek and roman civilizations, to which we basically owe our entire history to.
I'm straight as an arrow, but if gays want to get married, I couldnt care less. Sure, I think two guys circle jerking is about as gross as anything can be - as long as I don't see it in public, more power to them. Besides, more women for the straight guys.
I find it somehow ironic that being that the "protection of the family" is the crux of the issue, the most support for the amendment comes from the states with the highest number of divorces and single parent households.
Even though in the end I know its just political bullsh*t meant to stimulate the ignorant, we really, really, really have much more important things to discuss in congress, let alone consider for a f*cking CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. At worst, just leave it up to the damn states.
