The main rhetorical trick the anti-gay side seems to have in this thread is to shift the sand. You can't reply to one statement without them saying, "That proves this other statement! Ha ha! I win! I always win!"
It's now officially pointless to discuss this any further, so here's the bottom line, for me. Homosexuals are human beings. To whatever degree they differ from the norm, it's not because of any choice they made; it's because of something entirely outside their control. The least a caring society should do is to allow homosexuals the same rights and benefits as everyone else. Anyone in the world is free to disagree with me. If you do, I assert that you're lacking in compassion.
The same anti-gay argument could be made for not making public buildings handicapped-accessible. Being in a wheelchair is abnormal, after all. Why should those people have special ramps and stuff? It's a valid position, I guess, but it's pretty heartless.
