[/quote] Except this is not a truth, it is not based on actual [b]fact[/b], it is not based on Nature (which actually does tell us what a body is made for, btw). Instead, it is based on a belief system that is designed to hold things in a certain way and anything contrary to it is viewed as wrong and is aggressively and actively resisted - not only for those that believe in it, but for all. And that is what is wrong in your stance, in all those stances that attempt to enforce a belief on those who do not hold that belief. Especially those that are based on "it is for their own good" - those are the most dangerous of all. Many pograms of terror, murder, and grief have been based on this principle and commited by humans on their fellow man with this justification. It is imperative that you, Jade, understand this. It is perfectly fine for you to hold to your beliefs, and to personally think what you like about Homosexuality. For you are entitled to your personal beliefs and that is something that the US was based on and something very precious that is worth fighting and protecting. What you cannot do, what you must not do, is step over the line - and force your personal beliefs on others. You do not have this right. There is no law that grants you such a right to do such to others. It puts you on the side of injustice. You put yourself on the side that brings harm, grief, misery, and yes, even murder, death, and persecution upon others. Even your own belief suggests what I am writing here - that only your god should be the judge. You yourself are supposed to follow and be true to the tenants of your belief, but you are not supposed to force others that do not believe in them to follow them! If you truly believed in the tenants of your belief and followed them, you would know this and not attempt to force others to do as you do, to be as you are, to think as you think,to believe as you believe. Allowing and supporting Homosexuals in getting equal rights and recognition [b]before the law[/b] is a worthy and just cause, and does not mean that you have abandoned your faith or belief. It also does not threaten your faith or belief, nor does it invalidate it, for it has absolutely nothing to do with you, personally. For it is not asking you to change your personal belief, opinion, or even how you view it. All that is being asked here is that you grant to others the same that has been granted to you - equal rights.
