This is why gay people want to be married. It isn't a need.



Procreation is the reason the institution exists. And I thought marriage was just a contract between 2 people?



It is not a fact



Unless they love their sibling or goat.

Government also has no business treating a class of people with a certain status preferentially. I believe you would agree with this because of your views on women, yet you are steadfast in your defense of marriage. This is hypocrisy at its finest.


Procreation WAS the reason it existed. Get your misogynistic homo-phobic head around this fact.

I hear ya, but how much of that bad image is brought on by the lies and deception of the main stream media, politicians and commentators?

Don't go shoving the blame on MSM or all that non-sense. Stupid ass republican politicians, leaders, and reps made their stupid ass perception through the deeds they have done over the last few decades. They are the ones that gave rise to that perception. Do you think it was complete fabrication seeing some of the most retarded writings on signs at tea party rallies that were shown in the news? I don't think so.

The only people republican's have to blame for their image is themselves. Using idiots like Glenn Beck, Hannity, O'Riely, Rush and other idiot pundants has undermined their image to the masses. That had NOTHING TO DO with the MSM as those guys are all direct vocal front men for the republican party and have been for years.

Mitt Romney for example was not the best man for the job and we all know why. His speeches/debates were impassioned talking points, not logical facts. He was a hypocrite that opposed UHC, despite implementing the same thing on his own for his own state which was used as the basis for the federal version, without giving good logical reasons as to why he was opposed to it. Ever. He was hard nosed on the wrong social issues, which are issues that I brought up in the OP. His actions, speeches, and how he carried himself in the public eye is what set him for losing the campaign and nothing else. Despite whatever blubbering Karl Rove tries to put out.

Republican politicians seriously need to reconsider their stances on many subjects, and the perceptions they directly give others with their actions and speeches. Until they do and man up as to why they are losing out big time, they are no going to set foot in the white house again.

you would probably say evolution is not a fact. gravity is not a fact. I wouldn't trust you with any data set, tbfh.

If it is simply a "need" that gay people have to be included in the sme civil liberties afforded by everyone else, then it is simply a "need" for every one else.

Why are straight couples "needs" more deserving of homosexual couple's "needs" in the government's eyes? Is it due to your homophobic misogyny that you refuse to approach these distinctions with a clear head? I suspect so.

Marriage is a government institution. Our government, such as it exists, can not deny equal rights to people who were born who they were.

You believe their lifestyle is a choice, and this probably colors your entire stance on this issue.

This is one of the reasons you are an idiot.

Gravity is one of the few laws that we obey regardless of our support for it specifically or larger-scale political preferences.

Should the main steam media not report the fact that the GOP votes in the rape-friendly anti-abortion policies supported by Akin and Murdoch into their official party platform?

Did the MSM force the GOP to have these views? Would you prefer they chose not to tell us what both parties are up to?

Are you letting facts get in the way of what you want to be "bias"?

We obey evolution in the exact same way--we have no choice in the matter, we are because--but you see this being politicized all the time, when it has no relevance in politics.

It is reality, it is fact. Simply put.

We know these things due to the same manner of decades of peer-reviewed research. We know very well that there is a significant genetic component to homosexuality. And as with everything we know about genetics, there are significant environmental components as well. It all plays a part. And none of this turns out, in the end, as someone "choosing" to be a member of one of the most disenfranchised classes of humans. They simply are.

Everyone has the same right to marry a person of the opposite gender.

I did not say that. I said there is no scientific evidence that people are born gay. Feel free to provide it if you believe I am wrong.

Marrying someone of the opposite sex should not confer a benefit though. Marriage does not need to be subsidized (neither do women). If you are going to continue subsidizing hetero marriage, also subsidize homo marriage, and single taxpayers while you are at it.

MSM seems to be blind to the extreme left.

Not reporting the news is as bad, if not worse then reporting it.

so, so, much evidence, so little time.

Care to do your own work for once, or need we keep spoon-feeding to you what your echo chamber parrots at the National Review, et al. choose to keep you ill-informed of?

There is more to be found on Pub Med, of course.

Dear HumblePie,
You sound like a rational citizen who is not rich. As such, we will never care what you think or pander to you.

Please contact us again when you are either a) fanatical on some issue or b) rich.

Signed,
Politicians

Do you even read your evidence before you post:

Homosexuality and transsexuality are conditions without a well defined etiology. Although the influence of educational and environmental factors in humans is undeniable, it seems that organic neurohormonal prenatal and postnatal factors might contribute in a determinant way in the development of these two conditions
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22322655

So put simply according to your own source. They don't know the cause.

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology_and_sexual_orientation
Biology and sexual orientation is the subject of research into the role of biology in the development of human sexual orientation. No simple, single cause for sexual orientation has been conclusively demonstrated. Various studies point to different, even conflicting positions, such as a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences,[1] with biological factors involving a complex interplay of genetic factors and the early uterine environment,[2] or no genetic influence

you claimed there is no scientific evidence. I posted many rigorous molecular studies that show these links (you conveniently ignored those) and those which you posted, do provide evidence of such factors.

There is plenty of evidence, as I showed, so you are very much wrong. You should feel bad for how wrong you are.

Point is, you have no fucking clue how to even approach this information.

All that you display is that you haven't the faintest grasp of how to understand these articles.

Extreme left? The left doesn't even like the extreme left! Show me some examples of extreme left politicians saying something crazy or stupid.
