How come most people you know are to the contrary? Do you interact with a diverse group of humans? I'm interested in seeing why my observations are different to yours.
Just to clear up my position on the issue of homosexuality in general. What ever floats your boat. I am not particularly fond of 'queen' type gays, flambouyant and gesticular, because I find them annoying. I will discriminate against people I find annoying. This shouldn't be a problem for most people I hope. Please realize that this lifestyle is not widely acceptable, and understand that it will present obstacles. Create unions, celebrate commitments, but marriage is a hetrosexual thing...founded in religion, and recently sanctioned and regulated by governments. Get your own method for governments to regulate your lives, create liabilities, and tax you additionally  . Governments should be completely out of most aspects of our personal lives...especially sexuality. IN EVERY RESPECT. Additionally, inheritance and hospital visitations are upto the dead or dying to have determined. Adoptions should be at the discretion of the biological parents, with the option to refuse adoption to a gay couple of their child. Other wise no sexual orientation restriction. AND please don't presume that your behaviour is normal....It isn't. It is deviant, a deviation from the norm. Doesn't mean it's wrong...OR right for that matter. Time will tell as the 'people' speak, learn, speak, learn, and speak again. To me it's benign. Without consequence for anyone but yourself. I do care...I just don't see all that much that needs fixing, ~specific~ to this issue.

Let's clear a few things up, here. First off, I'm not gay (Not that there's anything wrong with that. -- Seinfeld). I'm not doing this for me, or for anyone I know, really. I gain nothing from this stance. Second, I think we might have to agree to disagreee on the natural existence of homosexuality, since you appear to have your head in the sand in regards to that. However, I really do ask that you back off the "This behavior is deviant" stance. It makes it hard for me to tolerate your existence.
Now. It is crucial for heterosexual unions and homosexual unions to have the same name, rights, and restrictions, lest we return to "Segregation Now, Segregation Forever." On that note, and your stance of "Biological parents should get to refuse the adopting parents" (and you presume they will, should the new parents be a gay couple), should biological parents be allowed to refuse mixed-race parents? What about Jews, should biological parents be allowed to refuse them?
