Do they? Yes.
Am I proud to be friends with some of them? Yes.
Will I defend their rights to the death and fight tooth and nail for their equality in both public and legal views? Yes.
Is it unnatural, or a choice? No.

Although I do not agree with homosexuality
Ive seen this a lot in this thread.
Hoimosexuality is not something you agree or disagree with, any more than being of a different race is something you agree with.

I respect your opinion , but it is a choice they have made. You are not born that way . That is the biggest misconception with gay people.
Anyways , I am getting back to game topics. I just wanted to apologize for the comments i made late last week.
It really, really isnt a choice.
The "born that way/choice" dichotomy is the most common misconception held by badly educated homophobes who are afraid of their own feelings towards other men.
At no point did I ever "choose" to be attracted to both men and women, just as a number of my friends never chose to not be attracted to women in the slightest.
The only choices made are whether or not to act upon those feelings, but it is the feeling that defines the sexuality, not the act.

lols. Anyways, I agree with you, but if you believed that homosexuality was a matter of making a conscious moral choice, and morality was somehow aligned with some conservative cosmic alignment with the will of a pro-hetero super-being that was severely offended by the attraction between two men.
Who knows, maybe their agenda is ACTUALLY to kill men after they help a woman conceive so there can be no man on man lovin' between father and son.
On the other hand, if you were to merely think about homosexuality having nothing to do with morality then it just wouldn't really have much of effect on anything. It is merely a part of one's identity, and therefore can not be helped, and is a part of the natural order, or it is part of a conscious or unconscious choice that is just really not that big of a deal (and I see no reason that it should be outside of the above "super-being" theory) and should be approached as such (but many times isn't).
ERGO the point is that those who are offended or "don't agree" with homosexuality are behaving in a defensive manner. Their view of the world depends on homogeneity and propriety in alignment with it. The moment it breaks, the scramble begins. There are, in my experience, an extensive list of behaviors that manifest in "the scramble." One is violent attack (verbal, physical, or otherwise); another, ignorance : to pretend that it does not exist, or that by this it can be magically wished away and marginalized in to nothingness.
These strategies, by evidence of this thread, and by the history of civil rights for the past 70 years have not worked.
edit* I apologize for the above stated dichotomy of "am naturally that way" vs. "it was a choice" it is merely to exemplify two very extreme ends of a very broad spectrum of existence. It is true that just because one is attracted to a person of the same sex, they may choose to stay closeted (whether consciously or not). That is just ONE example of how the dichotomy is actually much more complicated and textured than just the idea that "all gay people share the same experience."
