There's no ZING! when one is just spouting fallacious opinion.

Typo: being called "ignorant" by people who

Bla, bla, bla. We've heard all this ad hominem nonsense before. Some of us know the stuff you don't want people to know & want to pretend doesn't exist. I'm tired of being called "ignorant" who have just settled for popular conventional wisdom and haven't put a 20th of the thought or learning into the issue that I have. PS: If you don't know that the Bible and (real) science are not opposed at all, you're the one showing ignorance.

"I'm definitely a homosexual... and I don't have 'psychological issues'" Yeah, I know how that goes. They all claim to be "happy" and "well-adjusted." One good inside look at their lives and any person not in denial can see otherwise. "Unrecovered gay... oh... you're one of those" One of those what? One of those people who's seen for himself things you wouldn't want anyone to know about, that what I am.

"You want your religion to be the law of the land?" -- Admit it or not, you want your personal beliefs to be.

"the overwhelming scientific proof that sexuality - including homosexuality - is very normal and very natural" All the "overwhelming scientic proof" has been that homosexuality is unnatural and mentally & physically healthy. What you're referring to is popular pseudoscience that's been inconclusive at best, rigged at worst. The popular media is selling you a false story. Real psychologists know how sexuality can be twisted.

"If I cannot visit my significant other in the hospital and be her advocate because we are not seen as a couple - then we do not have the same rights. (PS - that's just one of over a thousand rights)" People have equal rights. Relationships don't, when relationships are not equal. (PS - If those thousand rights really mattered to you, there are other, contractual ways to get them.) "it's not just humans that have same-sex attraction" - Animal "homosexuality" has nothing to do with what humans do. Animals don't have psychological issues messing with their sexuality, and the same animals that do "homosexuality" are also normal under normal circumstances. "as pure as untouched snow" - I don't claim to be, and I don't have to be. Unlike an unrecovered gay, though, I've called my sins for what they are.

"I'm guessing you're implying procreation." That's only part of it. But even a childless marriage has potential value that same-sex shacking up simply does not. Too few people understand or acknowledge that.

"heterosexuality is already considered a protected class, so why shouldn't homosexuality?" For the same reason pedophilia isn't: It's an unhealthy, but addressible, behavioral issue, not something to be treated equally with normal sexuality.

Homosexuality is not a "differing creed, belief, or opinion." Is it an unhealthy but addressible behavorial issue.
