My answer is that I agree that there is some evidence that some people (1%-ish) are born with a predisposition towards homosexuality, just like
some people are born with a predisposition towards fucking little kids. That is no excuse for engaging in the behavior.
I think countries like Russia have the right idea, let the adults who want to engage in deviant behavior, do what they want behind closed doors, but
don't let the homosexual mafia/propaganda machine go after the children.
Shit, we've got complete fucking wackos in this country indoctrinating our youth bullshit like there is no such thing as male/female:

We've got maggots in Oregon who now have Medicaid approved $7500 shots to suppress puberty in kids so they can decide
if they want a sex change or not:

Who's paying for those shots? You and Me. It's complete bullshit.
I know our society now tries to paint the homosexual lifestyle as something wonderful, when the mental health and physical health issues
are off the charts.

As to the OP, this is of course wonderful news for the citizens of Ireland who wish to marry another consenting adult of their choice.
We are now at tens of thousands of legally married same-gender couples in North America and none of the anti-marriage crowd is yet to demonstrate any damage that has been done to them directly by such unions.

Taking an overt public stance against equal rights in marriage is so out of date in the year 2015.
One can cite any number of religious scriptures, any list of "expert" psychological opinions etc and in the time it takes to either verbalize or cyber post such information, another several dozen happy adult couples of same gender will legally marry somewhere in the world - with not a one of them paying any attention whatsoever to people who dissent with their freedom of choice.
It remains a regular point of fascination to observe those who earnestly attempt to roll back societal evolution. Not only is it fruitless in direct outcome, it defies both spiritual law and quantum physics to "go back".
The universe and everything (everyone) is in a constant state of expansion. Shifting into reverse is not an option for anyone

Once again you compare being gay to fucking little kids
Last time you compared it to beastiality
that is not a valid comparison zit and really undercuts your credibility.
Also, please stop posting online articles as your "proof". We could all find articles to support our position on any subject imaginable, so just stop.
So in the first post he celebrates the freedom of one group of people as a sign that the human race is evolving because people are now getting their just human rights. Then in the very next sentence goes on to throw half the world under the bus wanting to abolish religion like that is not a human right.
Then in post #2 he becomes the authority on forum credibility . This coming from the same guy who banned himself for a year and should not even be posting right now till October . But this guy somehow decides who's credible.
Justin,
Puhlease. My position is *the* position of Judeo-Christian society for thousands of years. You can't even spell bestiality and you're talking about my credibility?
I'll give you guys some homework. For many decades the American Psychiatric Association classified homosexuality as a mental disorder. In the 1970's
they changed that classification. Why? I'll give you a hint, it wasn't because of some scientific discovery, and it was very much related to gay mafia bullying and intimidation.
Allow me to "Bible-thump" for a moment, because this is the spot on truth of what is going on in our society:
Paul's brilliant book of Romans, chapter 1:
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[g] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but theybecame futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
