Homosexuality and Same-Sex Marriage
Turtlekid1:
I will say this only once (unless I'm inclined to say it again): Homosexuality is perversion.

No, just on the morality of the already morally-drained country we live in.

As for how I think this mingles with religion... I was Catholic. 2. Now I'm just plain ol' Christian with my own moral codes and my own ideas of what God is like. I don't think He'd want me to follow other people's hearts anyway. I don't think God would create gay people if they truly were to be condemned. 3. And that's right, I believe that sexual orientation is not something your environment affects, but an instinct you're born with. Like taste. Vidgmchtr likes Burger King. I hate Burger King, but I don't care if he eats there. Vid could force himself to not eat at Burger King to comply with the paranoid people who don't tolerate eating there, but he won't actually stop liking it.

1. Being born black or a woman isn't something you can change (or shouldn't be, but there's just another example of how perverted our society is).
2. You have your own moral code and idea of what God is like? Define "Christian."
3. So is being an alcoholic, and yet there are AA meetings across the country because alcoholism is something that can be overcome. People can make a choice to overcome their inclinations, not because they're "complying with the paranoid people," but because it's the right thing to do.

Comparing video game fans and lame subcultures to broad groups of people who suffer discrimination and hate crimes on a daily basis doesn't work. Neither does the insanely tired argument of "omh if gays marry than donkeys and robots will mary 2!!!".

Is it really so insane and illogical to believe that perversion will lead to more perversion?
...well, I don't think I made too many new friends with this post. But that's what I think, presented as civilly as possible.
ShadowBrain:
I accept them. It's not their fault, after all. Yeah, I don't want to see gay guys making out, but neither do I really want to see heterosexuals couples do the same.

That's like saying that tolerance to homosexuality will somehow make straight people automatically gay or breed new gay people.
Boo Dudley:

Ah, redundancy. It's as much a choice as any other negative addiction/problem.
