For one, it is controllable and fixable.
Second, it does affect me. One thing that has been constant in this country, throughout Slavery and the rest, is a social norm (i.e 'The American Family'), which all these anti-social movements (not just the gay marriage & pride movements) have been destroying. It's not just that all of a sudden any moral respect this country has had has literately disappeared. There are reasons and explanations to the 'changes' society goes through.
While changes are normal, change isn't always good, and it takes work to preserve what you love. Call it homophobia if you may.
I for real have no idea if you are being serious or not. Lol. Everyone has the right to their own opinions, even though you kind of have it backwards... as in being a homophobe is looked down upon in society now, whereas you think being gay is looked down upon.. I'm not really offended because I will never actually see you... I'm not one of those gays who's going to get super angry and start raging at you for your beliefs. I'm not all flamboyant and what not.
But, with all do respect, it does not affect you. You seem to be twisting society's rules here. And also, with all do respect once again, there is no way me being gay can be "fixed". I'm assuming you mean I can turn straight with some kind of treatment/therapy and whatever. It will not work. There's nothing we can do, man. Seriously, there isn't. If you're gay, then you're gay. Nothing can be done to turn you straight. And it doesn't really affect you. Just go on living your life.

It's able to be controlled and fixed? Really? Where does it say that? The last time I checked it had a correlation to abnormal hormone levels at birth, and it isn't able to be fixed. You think gays choose to live being prosecuted? Really? No. They do it because they don't have any other choice. They need to act on their desires, the same way men like us need to fuck women.
I still don't understand how it affects you. You have your traditional "American Family", why do you need to dictate what others do with their lives and families? And being morally responsible implies being able to do otherwise. If you can't, like gays can't, then I don't understand how what they're doing is morally wrong. Not everyone believes in your God, not everyone follows your bible, and not everyone should have to live their lives based on how YOU dictate they should, especially when they can't.
Pretty much what this guy said. Very good little speech. I liked it.
Sorry if I offended you, Zeus. It's always nice to have a little conversation/fun argument. I'm not meaning to offend anyone here at all, especially you, Zeus.
