No I agree. But as it can't be proved it's a mute point. Therefore all this argument about gays being gay from birth or not is bullshit. Because heterosexuals maybe aren't hetrosexual from birth. And it has no affect on gay rights. So Casey and Edouble are arguing over nothing.
The argument should be over whether homosexuals deserve the same rights. Most here would agree that they do. Does Edouble?
If not... He is a facist. If Yes, argument ended.

I absolutely agree with SOFI and Pittsey that it doesn't matter either way. Rights are rights and everyone should have them until they commit a serious crime abusing those rights where taking them away is an effective punishment.
My point about being born with sexuality is more to do with the position that sexuality is no different to race (ie something you are born with).
And for the record, I read very convincing evidence on this in New Scientist magazine recently. It might not be 100% definitive proof at this point, so I retract my earlier statement on that. But it might as well be. It's like, I don't need definitive proof that there isn't a god in order to hold the view that there definitely is no god. Which is the view I hold, because all the available evidence supports that theory.
All available evidence suggests that sexuality is there from birth.

Why are you anti-gay marriage? Follow up question - are you religious?
I'm not delusional in the slightest, actually.
And my top issue is veganism, then atheism. Gay rights is pretty far down my agenda but don't expect me not call you out when you make bullshit posts like you have been doing.
Disrespectful to actual struggles? Such as what? So people being denied human rights isn't a struggle? People being treated as second class citizens over something they have no control over isn't worth being upset about? Did you know 6 teenagers killed themselves in the US in the last few weeks because of homophobic bullying?
I think YOU are the one who is delusional. Or perhaps just an ignorant bigot, which you've already proven yourself to be, repeatedly.

I truly hate to get into this, but EDouble, I just want to tell you that what you're saying is wild, ridiculous, hateful bullshit. It's also inconsistent with itself. If you support unions, then why don't you support marriage? "Because it's traditional" is not a reason. If you're going on historical precedent (as arbitrary as tradition), the ancient Greeks LOVED to fuck little boys. That's as old and staid a tradition as there is. Some traditions are baseless and dumb, and they usually end up falling by the wayside.
And, you believe in the whole Bible? How many slaves do you own? How many apostates have you killed this week?
You are full of shit. (But I like you anyway and I think you work as a good foil to Casey. I don't mean any of this personally.)

Okay then. Let's start at the beginning. I'm Ristol. You're EDouble. We both post on Streethop.com, which is a website. I take back what I said about liking you. If you can't believe why you're still signed up, do me a favor and go away. You really didn't understand what I said? I mentioned the Greeks as an example of a bad tradition. Is that too hard to get? I can't argue with half the shit you say because it's incomprehensible. English cannot possibly be your first language.
But I'll try: you made the blanket statement that you "believed in the Bible". I'm pointing out to you, EDouble (that's who you are, remember?), that in the Bible, the character of God (the big guy, the creator of the universe), expects people to own slaves and even says it's okay to beat the shit out of them. So that's what I was talking about.
I do hope I'm being clear (easy to understand).
