Using your logic: men who are attracted to young girls are born that way and should not be condemned for chasing after them and molesting them.

A paraphilia is a deviant sexual behavior. "Deviant" means "not the normal accepted behavior". So, homosexuality is a paraphilia whether you like it or not.

Er... Based on what statement? From what I can gather, all I said was that most homosexuals, like most heterosexuals, prefer to keep sexual intimacy behind closed doors, that being attracted to men doesn't mean you're attracted to boys, and that I'd kick anyone out of my store for displaying obnoxious public displays of affection. How does that translate into saying pedophiles are just fine?

The restaurant owner has rights -- one is the rights (should be) to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Private business, private property, not the governments business.

When you talk of homosexuality or Lesbianism or Transgendered individuals who are adults and want to couple with other adults you have no say in the matter. Both parties are agreeing to the deal. You do not get to intervene.
And I agree that being gay is not normal or accepted. That is what this whole post is about. Two people of the same sex being removed from a taco restaurant for kissing.
The gay community WANTS it to be considered normal. That is what their fight is about.

Well, then why don't you go ahead and try to open a 'whites only' restaurant and see how far you get! If you open up a business to the public, then you have to be prepared to have all of the public show up at your door, not just the ones you like.

They won't be accepted as normal until half the population are Gay and with women being as attractive as they are, I don't see that ever happening.

They can all show up, but they have to obey the rules. My rule is no smooching at the table because it makes me and others puke up our meals.

about time someone stood up for public decency in our day and age.
be as gay as you want, but not in front of mine or anyone else's kids!
to be honest, i'm sure if there were some straight people making out in a family restaurant they would have put a stop to it as well, we just wouldn't have heard about the horrifying hate crime.
i think we should all have the same rights, but it seems more and more that minorities get MORE rights than anyone else...gay people aren't even technically a minority...they are just REGULAR PEOPLE...that now have a subculture that gets them special privileges.
i'm going to make a new straight-stay at home mom-no vax-homeschool club and anytime someone even LOOKS at me wrong, i'm going to call the ACLU and cry about the awful mistreatment just because i CHOOSE* to do things a little different than other people.

As long as that rule applies to everyone, not a problem! That's the point here, the double standard. It's OK for one, but not another. That, my friend, is utter crap and not what this country was founded on.
