That completely nieve to think someone can just choose when they are and are not sexually attracted to men. Your comments seemed to me that your trying to convince yourself that gayness is a choice by responding to every view that is not associated with yours.

My point is this: I define "gayness" as the act of someone having sexual relations with someone of their own sex. Not being attracted to, or haing an inclination toward, but acting on it. That being the case, I personally feel it's irrelevant if this attraction is inborn or not. That being the case, it's a CHOICE whether you act on those actions or not. And I think it's a dangerous precedent to say that behavior and not inclinations can be set in genes. There's no scientific way to "not" prove something. If we accept that some poeple can't control their sexual urges because of genetics, what's not to say that others like pedophiles can control their urges either. And honestly the only real difference between gays and other people who practice abnormal sex is gays have better P.R. I'm sure given time NAMBLA could become just as accepted as GLAAD. I know a different poster said that this "healthy natural expression of human sexuality" can't be compared to "animal humpers" and pedophiles, but im sure those people think that they are also practicing a "healthy natural expression of human sexuality". Who are you to look down your nose at them. It's sad that people of your ilk currently can condemn such behaviors as not healthy. Why I remember the days that being gay was also thought of as unnatural
.
And as for why I care it's because they are taking something that belongs in the bedroom between 2 (or more) people and demanding special rights based solely on a behavioral choice. And I actually don't mind most instances (property transfer and hospital visitation I couldn't care less about), but when conpanies and the gov't would give benefits or tax breaks is where I disagree, and those do affect me. Also, I find it appaling that many people are being forcefed into accepting a behavior as proper when there is really no reason to. If my "ilk" choose to think that behaving in a certain way is immoral or disgusting that is our right, and it makes you or anyone else no better on any grounds for choosing to accept that behavior.
