(BTW, I should go back and read my posts before I decide that I didn't post things right. I should stop being so trusting to things people say that I posted.)I think you should leave the definition and use of words up to other people who have a better handle on the English language.

Yes, it is in fact a direct quote (of yours). If it's that easy to understand, then you should have no trouble explaining/justifying your claim, right?
Funny, I used the definition found in Websters, I even quoted (see below) from the dictionary in one of my above post/responses to you. Besides, I'm not the one who says things like "my definition of the word..." as a debating tactic.

That doesn't explain the "essential" aspect of it, now does it. You're just saying "it's good to have diversity", that has nothing to do with it being essential, i.e. 'of the utmost importance.' If homosexuality didn't exist, would we be worse off or even doomed somehow, the answer to that may explain your "essential" claim.
