Fixed.

We have satellites now we know it's round.

See above. This is the now.

The whole world? You sure? Some people didn't have brooms.

But something that is obviously broken, and has very similar sister defects will have to be proven not broken. There's nothing about homosexuality that suggests it's not broken. Especially when we have an example of what does work happening in 99% of nature. And nothing has anything that is purely "homosexual by nature".
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

Okay, we could debate whether homosexuality is natural until we are all blue in the face. Does it really matter? It exists, and that is a fact. This board is for discussion on whether or not gays should be able to marry. You bigots use the "natural" issue as a red herring to derail the conversation, because you KNOW that there is no good logical reason to keep gays from marrying each other.

No, I use natural as a reason it shouldn't. It's a disability. And while we do allow disabilities and assist people with them, nothing is based on a disabled condition. Such as homosexuality. It's a reality people are born without limbs, so we have ramps and elevators to help them. Some people are born attracted to their own gender, they should be given a suitable replacement for marriage to signify their union. But it ain't a marriage.

I agree. But just because a society legalizes something doesn't make a legitimate or right. Just legal. Like zoophilia is now and pedo used to be.

In some countries gay people are still executed. That's the funny thing about how "legal" can differ across societal borders.
