I see Syriusly has spammed some important points off the page again, so , I'll pick up where I left off..
Anne Heche tells us that sexual orientation is not an immutable trait. The fact that lesbians have children naturally means that sexual orientation is not an immutable trait. The fact that most gay men have been molested as boys means that homosexuality most certainly is not an innate trait.
Now if you want to discuss how homosexuality is a stubborn mental habituation, then yeah, we can go there. Look at the data (and the sources, Clinical Psychiatrists, the CDC and the Mayo Clinic...you cannot hit any harder than that) and not your lavendar talking-points..
"ATLANTA [2005 Clinical Psychiatry News] -- Substance abuse is pervasive among gay men and is so intricately intertwined with epidemics of depression, partner abuse, and childhood sexual abuse that adequately addressing one issue requires attention to the others as well, said Ronald Stall, Ph.D., chief of prevention research for the division of HIV/AIDS prevention at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta..."
"Mayo Clinic 2007
One of the most obvious examples of an environmental factor that increases the chances of an individual becoming an offender is if he or she were sexually abused as a child. This relationship is known as the “victim-to-abuser cycle”or “abused-abusers phenomena.”5,23,24,46....why the “abused abusers phenomena” occurs: identification with the aggressor, in which the abused child is trying to gain a new identity by becoming the abuser; an imprinted sexual arousal pattern established by early abuse; early abuse leading to hypersexual behavior; or a form of social learning took place http://www.drrichardhall.com/Articles/pedophiles.pdf "

2. Read the source. It is from a 2005 publication of "Clinical Psychiatry News". It's an article quoting the CDC (you know, one of our government bodies charged with getting to the bottom of the causes, physical and behavioral, of the escalating HIV/AIDS epidemic) study of 3,000 gay men.
The Christians follow the New Testament, not the Old Testament. The Old Testament is a historical reference of what Jesus came to set straight. Jude 1 is in the New Testament. It forbids the promotion of any homosexual culture. Marriage is the core of any culture. Ergo, gay marriage will get you eternity in the slammer. Not just 10 Hail Marys or counting your rosary beads after confession on Saturday. It's one of the major sins a Christian can commit.Sure they would. You advertise you make wedding cakes, you're going to get all faiths, races, creeds, etc. You can't refuse service to any of those and there IS biblical justification for all of it if you look.
Race and sexual orientation are both immutable traits...but it's the bigots and the discrimination that are actually being compared.

1. I'm claiming they were cracked. There will be a threshold the Court will have to find. And it isn't a life-threatening situation to refuse to participate in "gay marriage". So, good luck.1. Then why did the Puritans execute for both sodomy and adultry, as the Old Testament commands? And why did the Founders execute for sodomy, with Pennsylvania citing Leviticus word for word as its law? Are you claiming the Founders weren't Christians?
2. Who says that most gay men have been molested as boys? Can you cite your source? Your 2007 Mayo clinic article doesn't say that.
