Well,
I agree about comparing it with the civil rights movement. That's ridiculous.
As far as the environmental vs genetic - I don't know, but I don't think its genetic. And DD, I don't think I agree with you about it being biological but not genetic. The way I see it, if its biological its either genetic or you catch it like a disease.
If its biological, why are there more gays and bis in Brazil than anywhere else in LATAM? And no, they don't move there, they are Brazilian.
I don't know for sure, but I think it is more choice than anything else, but that doesn't explain the urge that some apparently have.
If it is genetic, I think that changes a lot, at least for me as far as their "rights" go. I also don't like them shoving their lifestyle in everybody's faces nor the attempt to make it "normal". Its not normal. It my not be an aberation of nature, but its definitely not the standard.
I also don't care what they do, but the public sillyness needs to stop. They have chosen to define themselves by that, not me. And if that's the way they're going to define themselves, by sexuality, I don't want them around my kids or in my Army. When I went in the Army and they ask me who I am, I didn't define myself by saying "I am heterosexual." Its stupid to define yourself by an activity that you do four hours a day 5 times a week. Or in sacamuela's case, once a year on his birthday. Whether its hetero or homo sexual.
I am also not a phobe. And I couldn't care less what they do in the privacy of their own homes. But they can't leave it at that and it will cause problems. I think this marriage thing could be a bigger deal than a lot of people think.
Look at what happened when we let women have the vote.
LOL
