I think the issue of marriage ought to be left to the place where the people marry: if Church X is against homosexuality, they may well refuse to allow marriage of gay people in their facilities... but at the very least, the state should provide a way to make it so homosexuals can be legally united.
And Weltall, what the hell is this talk of your mom pretending she'll raise your children in a Catholic way just to be allowed to marry? If you're not gonna raise your children in a Catholic manner, don't get married in a friggin' Catholic church, end of story! *excommunicates you*
As for the whole genetics-or-not hocus pocus, I really don't think we know enough about the whole deal to make any conclusions out of it. Until we can unravel the mystery about sexual attraction, we probably ought to simply leave it at this: gay people exist, do not cause harm to anyone in a significant way, and deserve the same rights as their heterosexual brethren.
