My whole point is that our sexual orientation is mostly driven by our own perversions.Say I am a pedophile, am I no different than a homosexual or heterosexual? The correct answer is no, but my preference is not near as acceptable as the other two. If you accept homosexuality then explain to me why I can not have what I want.

I said that if you say homosexuality should be protected or given equal legal status to marriage based simply on the idea that it is natural it is the same as saying murder should be legal because it is also natural.

Being homosexual is a choice and nothing else.
For everyone that argues that there's a gay gene, then show some solid proof. As of today, there's no ACTUAL proof that says there's a gay gene.
Animals can do whatever they want because it's not important.
Humans being gay on the other hand is simply a choice, and it's their lifestyle, so it's NOT natural.

What does gay marriage really do detrimentally to society? Because you don't think these people deserve the same rights to life, liberty, and happiness that you get??

I believe that in a free nation citizens should be allowed to do whatever they want AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T HARM ANYONE ELSE.
Show me a child that hasn't been harmed by molestation and I'll change my opinion.
I could probably get a 12 year old to believe almost anything I want in a matter of hours, that does not constitute someone able to make independent and informed decisions about sex.
However, I see absolutely no reason to consider homosexual relations between two consenting adults as unnatural.
Homosexuality and pedophilia are VASTLY different topics and to associate the two is like linking smokers with Hitler.
