No they are not, they become homosexual when they become sexual.
A Surrogate Court is a specialized court which deals with matters of probate and the administration of estates. Sometimes referred to as Probate Court, such courts consider only those cases that deal with the distribution of deceased persons' estate. The Surrogate Court issues the Grant of Probate or, if a person dies intestate, a Grant of Administration, thereby giving court approval to the personal representative to deal will all matters of the estate. In contested matters, it will be this court which will examine the authenticity of a will, and will decide who is to receive the deceased person's property. In the case of an intestacy, this court determines who receives the deceased’s property under the law of its jurisdiction. The Surrogate Court will then watch over the procedure to distribute the deceased’s assets to the proper beneficiaries.
Surrogate courts are commonly referred to as Probate Courts, however depending on the jurisdiction, courts that deal with such matters are sometimes also referred to as orphans court, or court of ordinary.
Probate Court is a court found in some jurisdictions which is primarily concerned with the proper distribution of the assets of a deceased. Probate Court exists to determine the validity of wills, enforce the provisions of valid will, prevent malfeasance by executors and administrators of estates, and provide for the equitable distribution of the assets of persons who die intestate (without a valid will). In other jurisdictions these functions are performed by Chancery Court or another Court of Equity. Probate Courts may also deal with conservatorships, guardianships, name changes, marriages, and adoptions.
The surrogate court can be petitioned by interested parties in an estate, such as when a beneficiary feels that an estate is being mishandled. The court has the authority to compel the executor to give an account of his actions.
The judge of a probate court is sometimes known by another name, in accordance with the jurisdiction's historical tradition. In New York, the court with jurisdiction over probate matters is the Surrogate's Court and the judge is the Surrogate. In Georgia, the Probate Court was formerly known as the court of ordinary and the judge was the ordinary.
Where? I showed you something that explains how managing family medical issues and insurance can be difficult for gays and you post me a bunch of links that do not mention civil unions or domestic partnerships. Let us not forget even those are not legal in some states.
These benefits range from federal benefits, such as survivor benefits through Social Security, sick leave to care for ailing partner, tax breaks, veterans benefits and insurance breaks.
Not the same, in your example a judge is taking away a right protected by the constitution. How was this the case with the judge you refer to? It was not. They were giving rights and overruling a discriminatory ban.
You brought up the slippery slope argument with no evidence. Produce evidence and I will have no trouble countering it, so far you have none.
I didn’t say that, I said they have not been accepted by society. Pedophiles are in no way accepted in our current society, gays being increasingly accepted has not changed this.
i guess you have never had a relative die and never had to go through the process.
They are the same in the context that a judge went against the majority and legislated from the bench taking the people and the elected officials out of the loop.
i see you don't understand the difference between the possibility and stating something as fact.
See when you state something as fact the burden of proof is on you to produce the proof.
so i ask again where is your proof those things haven't happened in other states and countries that allow same sex marriages.
1b.) Profanity: You will not use profanity in our forums, and will neither post with language or content that is obscene, sexually oriented, or sexually suggestive nor link to sites that contain such content.

Jesus says in his own words that a man should leave his parents and become one with his WIFE. He also says that sex is for a man and his WIFE to explore. Paul says in the New Testament that homosexuality is wrong . The books of the New Testament were inspired by God. There is nothing that anyone can ever say or do to make homosexuality natural or right.

I have a feeling if I were to verbally attack your family or a close comrade of yours, you would get angry. So why would you expect me to act any differently when you attack my God?
You think Jehovah is the all loving god. I know him for what he really is . A down at heal dethroned warmongering ET from a place very far from here .
