Homosexuality in itself does not benefit the continuation of the race anymore than a child without a brain...

I do understand how words like mistake and error can be used in a derogatory manner... but that is the fault of the person using those words in that manner. But everyone using those words are not bigots.

beargonewild...Homosexuality is a mistake of nature in the same way as a child born without arms and legs...or retarded..or autistic. these things have nothing to do with the worth of a person. They are only mistakes as they deviate from the norm and only apply to creation.

There are  all manner of people with diseases or conditions caused by mistakes in their gene code...

Thus to take that point that homosexuality is a mistake in the genetic code. The next logical step is to state that people like myself are a mistake. If that's the case then you might as well put a gun to my head and pull the trigger since that is where that statement is leading to.

Here in Florida we have Proposition 2 on the ballot this election.  it is a constitutional amendment stating that marriage is between a man and a woman.  I just saw a commercial which claimed they were not taking rights away from anyone jsut defining what a marriage was.  There are many legal rights that come with being married.  Denying a group the rights to marriage is denying them those rights. 

Personally I will be voting no.  Currently it doesn't look like it is going to pass since Jeb Bush (at least one Bush did something right) helped push through a law making 60% of the vote neccesary for a constitutional amendment. 

My question is, How can so many people who want the government out of things decide it is ok for the government to legislate something so personal as marriage?

You think your state has problems?  In South Carolina, Amendment One on the ballott wants it to be legal for a 14 year old girl to have sex if it is her consent.  Now frankly a 14 year old girl does not know her body well enough to know when to have sex.  Then they don't want to use condoms.  Etc. Etc.Yes I will vote straight democrat and no on all the amendments.

I've know a good handful of gay people that have told me they feel like they were born into the wrong body. I think thats what he was trying to say, that it was being born into the wrong gender.

Its very possible I'm wrong but I didn't see him as being derogatory, just perhaps using poor word choices in a thread that has some pretty awful things being said.
