If I accept the fact tat homosexuality is not a chosen path but one that the person has no choice but to follow, do I then have to condone homosexual marriages?

I can live with anyone next door to me and it doesn't bother me but I also have traditional values. Over the years I have come to accept many things I would have, at one time, thought not possible. I'll back the gays in anything but homosexual marriages. I don't think I'd ever be able to accept that.

I've disagreed with the Catholic church on issues before and in the matter of homosexuality, I believe they are very hypocritical but as you say, Alex, they have that right to say it. I have the right to disagree and if I were gay I'd be fighting just as hard as many are for all rights and privileges others enjoy including marriage. Just because I don't agree with it from this side of the fence doesn't make me right. I'll never be able to walk a mile in their shoes but I can sympathize with them.
