Obama's church buddies on his new gay marriage stance

It's cool that we agree, I just feel the need to point out that this particular argument in not a logically sound one at all. People are not known for making optimal or even safe choices. You can look at pedophiles for a rather extreme example of people choosing to do something that has extreme negative ramifications and is almost universally reviled.

Pedophilia is a preference, just like heterosexuality. The difference there is lack of consent and the victimization of children. Pedophiles can go their whole lives without touching a child. I think "child rapists" would be a more appropriate term. A lot of times, these urges manifest into compulsion or there is an apathy to the recourse of their actions. These child rapists should not be compared to homosexuals so much as other rapists.

Although I'll admit that wasn't the most solid point.
