“You prove my point exactly. Many supporters of gay marriage are not even willing to consider someone else’s view. In contrast, homosexuality is a life style choice and should not be given special rights. While homosexuals may be born with homosexual tendencies, they still make an active decision to be gay. There are many other tendencies that people are born with such as alcoholism, drug addiction, etc., that people control and have choice over. These people don’t get special treatment or rights. This is just another tendency that people can embrace or ignore. All people are born with certain tendencies. We can’t begin giving rights to lifestyle choices or the list will never end.”

My only question to you, Brian. Notwithstanding the fact that we are all human and subject to lustful desires. Both Gay AND Straight.
But, let me ask. Is love truly a lifestyle choice, or a tendency?
If you fell in love with a girl, the kind of love thats super-human, super-natural, whos origin could only be found in the heavens above, the kind of love that you would die for someone. Would you call this a lifestyle choice, or an aberrant “tendency,” akin to alcoholism or drug abuse?
What gay people are looking for is acceptance and validity. That the love between two human souls, regardless of gender, is just as deep and just as valid as any love which ever existed between the proverbial “man and woman.”
