This is sooo gay

The fact that your idea of "private" is "keeping who (or in this case which gender) you like hidden from everyone", maybe?

And that you think that if it does "slip out", "they get what they deserve"?

My idea of private is that EVERYONE'S sex lives are unknown to me, unless they are friends, family or confidantes. And if they do make their sex live known, regardless of their sexual orientation, then yes, they deserve whatever happens to them. Making your sex life public is a choice too, and all choices have consequences.

There's nothing wrong with that. But there's a difference between being approached by two gay guys and given a 5 minute lecture on the male 69 and simply seeing a homosexual couple on a date, or kiss, both of which you seem to be against. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Homosexuals should be allowed marriage, as well. Now, I personally see marriage as a silly reason to abstain from sex and use to justify love, monogamy, and devotion. There are, however, legal benefits to marriage, such as tax cuts, the right to visit the other if s/he is in the hospital, etc, that homosexuals should not be left out on. This, in actuality, is a form of repression of gays, which you say you're against.

I'm against homosexual acts, yes, but even merely seeing gays kissing in public doesn't bother me a whole lot, unless they're making it a public act, ie they're doing it to draw attention to themselves. But I don't believe homosexuals deserve the right to marriage, and maybe it is a form of discrimination, but you know what? Life's not fair sometimes. Marriage, to those who actually value social customs, is an important part of the fabric of society, and family health in many ways, because it involves members of both sexes, and gay families will produce gay children, because any child who grows up with two daddies or two mommies is going to think it's acceptable to emulate them. And then we can say bye-bye to any hope of a moral society and to a social system that has perservered nicely for six thousand years and hello to even more widespread disease.

Why should gays get marriage benefits? Not everyone automatically benefits from anyone else's benefits anyway. Men don't get paternity leave to help raise children, isn't that inherently unfair too?

By the way, I'm still waiting on that scientific proof. Something really mind-bending can change my opinions. I saw an article on alternatives to the death penalty that changed my opinion on it and set me in opposition to it.
