My question is how is it not a choice? Since when is anyone forced to do something they dont choose to do? That would be like saying smoking, drinking and drugs arent a choice either. Yeah someone might be addicted to them but you can choose to stop too.
No one forces these people to engage in sexual activities with the same sex. they choose to. To argue that sexual preference is something you are born with is illogical. (especially considering the word preference connotates choice). If homosexuality was genetic, it would be eliminated from the human gene pool within a generation or two because the genes that survive are the ones that get passed to the next generation. Kinda hard to do that with two men or two women.
Besides, Id still like to be told why if we to concede it was natural, that it somehow makes it good. Hatred, Intolerance, and violence are all natural too. That doesnt mean they are good.
Being natural also doesnt explain why you no longer have a choice. Its natural to be attracted to the opposite gender. That doesnt mean we have no choice and that we have to engage in relations with them. We choose to (and it is a very good choice in certain circumstances).
This is an important political issue. Not only because marriage is vital for the survival of civilization but becausethe way these activists are trying to force society to legitimize their actions is by circumventing the Constitutional and Legislative system of government. Here we are, a majority who oppose this, who are being force my a very small minority of judges and civil servants who have sworn to uphold our constitution and political system but do the exact opposite. It should be the activists who are trying to change society through the legislative bodies and the Constitutional process and not the people trying to preserve our way of life to stop people from circumventing the law! People should be outraged at this.
