/Seems to me the better solution would be to make homosexuality socially unacceptable, and cause gay, cross dressing children to dress and act straight, at least until they are old enough to have a private life where they can share their perversions with friends who want to share the gay lifestyle with them./
"Mom, can I hold hands with my boyfriend in public?"
"Certainly not, young man! You'll have to wait until you're 21. Until then, I've found a perfect girl for you to date in the meantime: easy, breezy, beautiful Ashley Smith!"
"But I don't like Ashley that way. It won't be fair for me because I'll have to pretend to be something I'm not, and it won't be fair for her because she's with someone who doesn't love her and who's only doing it to be 'normal.' I'd feel like I was using her. That's not right."
"Oh, you silly boy, life isn't fair. It doesn't matter what the two of you want, all that matters is that you two look nice together! Afterwards, you can hang out with your friend, as long as you don't shove it in everyone's faces."
/All the politically correct attempts to convince straight people that homosexuality is normal won’t prevent the next young thug from killing or beating a gay kid./
Yes, just like all the "politically correct" attempts to convince white people that being black is okay won't prevent the next young thug from killing or beating a black kid. Just like all the "politically correct" attempts to convince boys that girls are equal to them won't prevent the next young thug from killing or raping a girl. It's not politically correct, it's common sense and moral decency. It may not convince everyone, but at least more people would see the light, far more than they would if no one tried or cared.
/Someday, we will read how some young thug shot the neighbor kid for lawfully practicing bestiality on the street. The PC police will admonish us about the need to teach our children bestiality awareness./
Yes, just trot out the tired, old "homosexuality will lead to bestiality" argument. Animals cannot consent. They cannot write, and I doubt that a paw print would suffice as a signature on a marriage certificate. However many different stages that the institution of marriage has gone through, there is one thing that has remained constant: it has been practiced between human beings. Nobody is saying that bestiality ought to be legalized or that people can marry their pets.
You wouldn't like being beaten up just because you had blue eyes or were white or for some other trait that you happened to have, would you? So shut the heck up.
