All arguments for normal rely on the fallacy ad populum, and irrelevant.

If any of these things were subject to discrimination, then yes, you would become defensive about it.
To a certain extent, liking computer games sometimes requires a defensive position, for instance, if you enjoy first person shooters, you may be defensive in company of those who think they are responsible for gun sprees. The history of promoting games as an artistic medium like television or movies has been defensive in nature.

Quick question, hypothetically clearly, if your country became gay by majority, would you start dating men instead of women?

You can get married with a woman, you can join the military, you can do this and that and everything that normal people are legally capable of.
So Anti-miscegenation laws conferred equal rights to inter-racial couples because they still had the right to marry someone of the same racial background.
I think you misunderstand equal rights sir.

Then stop pretending they do have equal rights. People treat themselves differently based on religion, race, gender, and sexuality.
Evidently you believe this is a case for discrimination, I do not.

I read that as I am a Jerk, whoops.
Equal rights don't matter because its not an issue that affects you personally. The critical test would be whether you would accept discrimination if you weren't.

As in the holding hands must be stopped.. because.. because.. um.. its not natural!.. damn, naturalistic fallacy,
Because its not NORMAL, damn damn, ad populum,
I've never been clear on what your basis is for your homophobia, other than it being exactly that, irrational fear.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
