Its not that I am against gays, they just give me the shits and I don't approve of an un natural selection sexually within the human race, it is counter productive.

To each their own, as long as it does not harm the freedoms of others.

As far we know being gay is not in the realm of choice so can't be considered a moral issue.

I may find it disgusting but I have no right to stop gays by force.

There must be something seriously wrong when I agree with Confed and Praxus
(although "disgusting" may be a bit too strong - perhaps "not my cup of tea").

There are some folks who will have sex with anything that moves or does not move, including a hole in the wall.

So!

Personally, it doesn't matter what someone does in his own time.

Let everyone make the best of the time he/she has in this world. So long it doesn't affect society at large.

Many thoughts in most religions make out that sex as a sin. The way they project it is as if even wedded sex is not to be enjoyed. Wow. Do you think that is correct?

Let each person do exactly what he/or she wants. Don't bother about it unless you are a Peeping Tom.

Personally, I would say I am not gay, I am just Happy. I am not a ****** (in all meanings of the word), but I *** a lot (smoke cigarettes).

that's pretty much how I feel. Freedom to exercise choices, tendencies, etc., as long as no one else is hurt. I don't, however, agree with giving gays extra rights, above those given to anyone else. I read there is an attempt by gays to start an all gay school here, funded by tax dollars. Isn't that segregation?

Yes. I wouldn't have a problem with a private "all gay" school though.

I agree with Franco, Homosexuality is an abomination.

It is unnatural, and all the rest, but it is wrong because the bible says so.

Gambling, Drinking, Smoking, and pre-marital sex were once considered "morally depraved". It was once illegal for heterosexual couples to use sex toys or enjoy hetereo sodomy. The Consitution leaves it up to individuals to follow their own morality -- not state-defined morality.

As for the "Darwin" argument -- well, it's just silly. Priests and nuns are celibate, do they pose a threat to society? Many couples do not have children -- are they somehow threatening the human race?
