Fat people can't help being fat? That's not true.

Nope, it's impossible. Fat guys can't change :(
Anyway, the paralells are easy to draw. As the first image shows, I was once a big man, and I know genetics had a role in that, but even though genetics made me more likely to be fat, they didn't make me fat. Getting fat was my own choice, and while I didn't choose to get fat, I did choose to eat the extra pizza and supersize my value meals.
Ergo, even if homosexuality were genetic, it's not an end-all. Genetics can be defeated.
My point is that while I don't condone discrimination against fat people, But, even though obesity is a genetic defect, I do not think obese people should be awarded special rights. Obese people are obese by their own will (or more accurately, their own lack of will). Homosexuality is not genetic, but even if it were, it is an individual's own choice to give into that defect, therefore gays deserve no special rights or protections.
That homosexuality is NOT genetic only strengthens my stance on the matter: Gay men and women do not deserve special rights or priveleges because they chose the lifestyle they chose.
I've said all that needs to be said. Unless some mysterious, heretofore unheard-of proof surfaces via ABF or Nintendarse, there's nothing more to be done in this thread. You can call me arrogant for saying so, but it doesn't change the fact. I state that homosexuality is not a genetic trait and as the current studies show, science agrees with me. Therefore, the debate is effectively over unless a new study proves otherwise.
