We don't attack others for THEIR moral code simply because it offends ours.
I find it rather amusing too. Christians do that all the time. Just watch the TV once in a while.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.

I am curious to see how a self-proclaimed atheist justifies their classification of non-heterosexuality as immoral.

We are dead if someone with a penis wants to use the woman's restroom. HOW CAN WE DEAL WITH THIS!?

No, they don't, he just said he wants to know how they justify it. I want to know that too. There's no legitimate secular reason for why the LGBT community should be oppressed, soo... we want to know what the reason is here.

Never thought this would happen, but I have to agree...Six years old is just too young for a child to try to figure out what they are at this age...

I agree. This may be the first time I have ever agreed with you. I mean, seriously, even if he really does feel like he should have been a different gender at that age, I can't really believe that a kid should be that utterly sure of his own sexual identity when he's freaking six. He should at least wait until puberty. He may have grown out of it by that time.

I think I gotta side with the OP on this one.
I'm curious about how a 6 year old came to question their own sexuality at such a young age. I mean, I might be talking out my ass here, but at 6 I wasn't wondering about my sexuality or gender. I was wondering how to stop the excessive bleeding from my Stretch Armstrong. It just seems a little...off...for someone that young to be considering topics of gender without outside influence (i.e. the parents).

Bubba, I'm aware.
See, I understand why you hate gay people. But, an atheist has no recourse to base that hatred on the Bible, as you do. I'm curious to see what makes an atheist justify arbitrary discrimination against gay people.
