Religion, IMO, controls people's sexuality too much. Religious people are scared to admit to themselves they are not straight. I think gay and lesbian marriages should be legal. It's the way people are, they can't help it. So many people think gay/lesbian/bi people choose to be gay. People are born this way, they can't help it. Others can't understand that people don't have to be gay or lesbian or straight, they can also be bi. I normally get agitated on this subject, but I just want to say that I do not think it's a sin to not be straight.
Also, can anyone quote for me where it says, in the bible, that being gay/lesbian/bisexual is wrong?

Paul supposedly says it multiple times. You can ask Fece for his rebuttal against that.
Leviticus 18:22 + 20:13
Most people would also toss in Genesis 19
Hebrews 13:4, Romans 1:26-27, Corinthians 6:9
However, very few of them actually refer to homosexuality in any specifics. They usually refer to adulterers and fornicators. Since the biblically inclined consider homosexuality a sexually perverse activity, they lump that in to suit their needs.
