Make no difference - science fiction fantasy is science fiction fantasy.

We don't know why a human would have the homosexual defect though.

Which has NOTHING to do with the issue.

Why allow the same gender marriage?

Because it's the right, fair and just thing.

People have wanted to exterminate other humans for a bunch of reasons. Gays aren't alone.
Didn't say any differently. So what was your statement trying to prove? I've already stated that many were put to death for reasons we now consider unenlightened and ignorant. So how are you correcting me?

If you don't know what the hell you're writing - how the hell are WE supposed to know.

If you don't mean precedence - don't use the word.

geesh

As I said - I have no idea what you want - but I'm sure if you're really interested in an answer and not just trolling, you can find google on your own computer.

I think she's trying to figure out why, since homosexuality has such a long human history, there are no modern cultures that have recognized until fairly recently. She is rightly concerned that the bullshit is spreading.

Like the fantasy of homosexuality being normal for a human?

You mean like the moon and cheese.

It's fair and right to legally recognize the union. But not to call that recognition a union. A wheelchair is not the same thing as legs.

I'm saying that those reasons were all geographically dependent. Homosexuality for the last period of history was considered deviant throughout the human species.

What cultures are you talking about?

The Greeks had an active gay community. To the best of knowledge, Greece is still around - at least it was when were there two years ago.

The French have always been very open-minded about gays - I think they're still around.

Now, I don't know if they accepted gays as early as 250 years after the founding of their countries, as the U.S. is coming to do.

Actually, gays were quite open in Germany until the Nazis took over. And, as far as I know, have again a very public visibility.

... as well as the Scandanavian nations

I have said over and over - I think that homosexuality - like many other humans that people have had a problem with - is only now being given more visibility world-wide and there is less and less mystery about it. As the unknown is scary, the best thing for gay people is to be visible.

The bullshit that homosexuality is somehow "normal" has infiltrated yet another government entity. That's what I mean.

It looks like they are about to ride into the city screaming "the gays are coming, the gays are coming". How ridiculous is it to argue that the gay population will be taking over the population of the states. a little skittish are we?

I've never been all that thrilled with being normal - being ordinary, mundane, average, run-of-the-mill and pedestrian holds no allure for me.

I'm perfectly happy being superior.
