Feminine men? I know straight people who let their wives slap and abuse them and does that extend to them even if they are not gay?

I don't understand what you're all riled up about. I never said that homosexuals should lose any of their rights. Isn't that what you wanted? your rights? But, if you want society to believe that it is regular and 'natural', then you would need to provide proof. Because, I could more easily prove that it isn't natural and is the cause of a particular conditioning of the mind.

Gay marriage? it doesn't work, perhaps a 'gay union', which gives homosexual people every other right as a man and women, except that particular title. But, still you would be unhappy, you want society to alter its already established title and replace it with a new one which suits you?

Gay Marriage, perhaps should hold that title. "Gay Marriage". Like, here is a scenario lol.

Woman 1: Hey I need to tell you something..
Woman 2: Uhuh? :p
Woman 1: *Goes on knee*
Woman 1: Will you gay marry me?
Woman 2: yes, yes I will!
Woman 1 & 2: Share a kiss.

Lol...
-End.

or marriage could be scrapped all together and it could just be a 'civil union' for everyone.

OR maybe homo's could create their own religion and develop their own concept of marriage then infiltrate the government through the masses and have their marriage recognised legally because their God (whoever she may be) says so. < or something as equally ridiculous.

All sexual impulses are directed by socialisation, so both homo and heterosexuality are 'the cause of a particular conditioning of the mind'. It just so happens that _most_ societies are heterosexual because that is what works for survival. But this does not make heterosexual 'natural' - it is learned.

how does a heterosexual orientated house raise ONE gay child, when the other...3 or 4 are straight
Well without going into the 'nature' side of the argument, there is the nurture argument that the child that turned gay was exposed to different situations/ideas than the others.

But what if they weren't, what if they were raised in the same environemnt, had the same friends and watched the same TV shows. I know its not really likely and they're all going to get exposed to different stimuli but what do we mean exactly when we say 'exposed to different situations/ideas", someone doesn't turn gay from seeing 2 women or men kiss once or twice in their childhood, similarily they don't become heterosexual if they see two people of the opposite sex getting it on.

Also...some people take a long time to realise whether they are gay or straight. You always hear of those stories when people say they knew they were gay from the time they were 5 years old..and others come out when they are 20! I've never really understood that...but anyway.
Some people realise it much later than 20.

i have nothing against gays, but i have something against religious people ie Christians and muslims, who hate them for the sole reason that their holly book sais so.
what?
christians do NOT hate anyone and if they do, they should honestly question their faith.
look had jesus, he loved everyone, and its up to christians to do the same
even though homosexuality is wrong by the Bible/Gods standards, that doesnt mean we hate those who practice it, that is a very jumped to conclusion remark to make.

Of course, and i know a lot of christians who dont have anything 'against" gay people, but thats not the point. Theres a difference between not having a problem with something and somewhat turning a blind eye to it and thinking that equality exists to eveyone no matter what their sexual preference is and actually proclaiming that, by that i dont mean heading to a rally with a GAY SEX NOT WAR banner but if you recognise it as a right yourself.

Some say homosexuality contradicts christianity, some say that "god loves them no matter what". If you beleive in God and chrisitanity but at the same time beleive that homosexuals are entitled to EVERY right that heterosexuals are entitled to, then thats awesome.

I'm offering an overly simplistic and fallacious argument in the same manner as you are.

P1 The first couple God created were heterosexual.
P2 God's judgement is perfect
C All couples should be heterosexual, otherwise they are immoral.

P1 The first man God created was named Adam.
P2 As above.
C All men should be named Adam, otherwise they are immoral.

Comprende?

Everywhere I post, you are there almost straight away. Some sort of obsession you have with me?

Anyway, there is no need to respond to your post. My perception of you as being somewhat of an intelligent person just evaporated.
