Sacred Jellybean is absolutely correct. "Choice" has nothing to do with it... people don't just choose to be gay. If they did, I imagine a lot less people would be gay than are... but its not a choice. It just is that some people (the vast majority) are heterosexual, and a few are homosexual... its true with any species. Even ones that really aren't smart enough to make that kind of "choice". Your environment and upbringing aren't related in any way to why people are gay or not... its genentic. Does it go from parent to child? Obviously not... but it IS genetic. There is no other sane explanation. Bisexuality, of course, works the same way...

Why do people like you call it "Special" rights? The term makes no sense... all that is wanted is to add sexual orientation to the anti-discrimination laws that already protect people from being discriminated against because of age, gender, religion, and other reasons. It isn't fair that you can fire someone because of their sexual orientation... you can't for age, gender, or religion, so why for that? Its just wrong...
