Let us go the next logical step with your assessment.
Let's ban inter-racial marriages. Blacks have the same right as whites: To marry in their own race.
Let's ban disproportionate wealth marriages. Poor people have the same right to marry as the rich, as long as they marry another poor person.
Let's ban inter-religious marriages. Muslims have the same right to marry as everyone else, as long as they marry in their own religion.
You see how this silly argument from folks against gay marriage is?
"They have the same rights as everyone else. They can marry anyone they want, just not of the same sex."

Never mind that numerous studies find that children raised in Homosexual households are just as well adjusted as children raised in Heterosexual households.
Never mind that Homosexuality is found in many different species and thus Homosexuality is for all intensive purposes older than modern humans and therefore just as natural as Heterosexuality and, oh say, breathing.
Never mind that Homosexuals can not marry(in all places) because if they were to marry under your example they would not be Homosexuals, they would be Heterosexuals.
If you disregard all of that your argument makes perfect sense.

And please spare me the 'compassionate soul saver' diatribe of trying to "save" people. That's not going to fly with me.
I am not attacking gays. I don't agree with their lifestyle.
It isn't natural, and I am spiritual, so I believe that it is wrong. It isn't my idea of the norm.
unlike mental issues, I think people have a little more control over being gay. Just about every so-called gay or bisexual I know has NEVER dated someone of the same sex. They use the "gay" label to make themselves interesting.

Also, many people preform gay sex simply because it's a sin, not because they particularly care for it. Same reason some people get the impulse to hurt others or steal things. It's a trill.
There's a million reasons people choose to be gay. I just don't care for the lifestyle, and that's all.
