It does not harm you. it does not harm then. Why do you have the right to condemn them? Why do you have the right to judge them? Why do you have the right to limit their happiness? Why do you have the right that, if you are a true believer, only God has.
Believe in Jesus if you want to. I won't stop you. If you are right, you will go to Heaven. Good for you. What right do you have to limit my freedoms if I do not harm anyone?
Tell me, what made you above us others? What put you on the same level as God?
Why is it your decision who marries? What does it harm you if homosexual couples do so? Does God's will mean anything? He granted us free will. Some seem to want to pursue homosexual relationships.
Keep your religion to yourself. And I will keep mine to myself. And we can co-exist in peace.
Also, your view of genetics is limited. It could very well be a recessive trait and survive. It could also be a mutation. What does it matter?

Again, just for reminders sake: I've not mentioned religion once in this debate. Nor have I put down a gay person. I don't agree that the behavior is normal and natural, but I don't hate them. They are welcome to act in any way that they wish.
The issue at hand is: do we give validation to such actions and promote them in schools as normal and natural or is there an explanation for why the homosexuals of the world are what they are?
I'm attempting to answer that question with the one that I posed above.
Please give an answer:
Is it the consensus that homosexuality is a random genetic mutation that just "appears" in people and has nothing to do with family history?
