Just becuase Someone says they were born that way and they are attracted to the same sex doesn't make it right in fact that is like saying because a pedofile is attracted to young boys or young girls under the age of 10 that because they were born that way and they have known it all that time that it makes it ok.

One thing people like this don't seem to grasp is that pedophiles and child molestors don't have to be overlapping categories. There are plenty of people out there who are attracted to children, but restrain themselves because they have morals rather than being the wild, insta-raping sorts people tend to make them out to be.
Really, while I can certainly get the why of suppressing it and they certainly shouldn't act on it - with the exception of their imaginations within their own homes, anyway - in its own it's just as natural as being gay or straight or the ever-so-forgotten ephebophiles.
Consent. Look it up in the dictionary, under C. That's between B and D, you illiterate moron.
After you've done that, look up Punctuation, and start using some.
Q - Why is it that every time the subject of gay marriage comes up, one of your lot immediately tries to link it to pedophilia or bestiality?
A - Because you know that you don't have a valid reason to oppose same-sex marriage. In desperation, you try and change the subject to something that you are reasonably sure will provoke disgust in the listener. Then, you make a feeble attempt to link gay marriage to the unrelated subject you have pulled out of nowhere and say, "It's the same thing!"
We're on to you. Its not working. Find a real reason to back up your position or STFU!
Consenting adults, once again. Two adults of the same gender being in love harms no-one. One pedophile not acting on his/her attractions doesn't harm anyone either. Children can't give informed consent, as they are minors. In Sweden, the age of consent is 15. If an adult has sex with anyone younger than that, it's rape, pure and simple.
Someone saying they're born that way (i.e. homosexual) is more like someone saying s/he's born with the preference of using his/her left hand, rather than his/her right hand, and s/he's know it all his/her life, and that makes it OK to use the left hand.
“Just becuase Someone says they were born that way”
Well, why in the name of fuck would a straight person choose to be gay?
Seems much more likely to be innate than a choice.
I mean, I made a BUNCH of patrols on all-male submarines. I LIKE the guys I served with, I depended on them, I did my best to support all of them, but never, ever, did i want to fuck any of them.
“and they are attracted to the same sex doesn't make it right”
Right is a moral choice that’s independent of whether they were born that way.
And whether or not it’s right for you, you don’t get to make that choice for anyone else.
“in fact that is like saying because a pedofile is attracted to young boys or young girls under the age of 10 that because they were born that way and they have known it all that time that it makes it ok.”
No, that’s a bad analogy. My son is gay, as long as the partners he chooses are consenting adults, no one is harmed.
Thing is, a pedophile cannot sleep with a child without it being statutory rape. Not comparable.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
