They aren't, and I'm gonna lay a little knowledge on ya, but first I'd remind you that most people here have already made their position on that clear. Having them say it again wouldn't weaken their position.Okay, first off I never said, ever, that being homosexual is a choice. If I said that, where did I say it?
But here's the crazy thing: Even if we all said no, we don't support incestuous marriages, that wouldn't make us hypocrites. Because, and this is really important so pay attention, one of these things is a choice, and one of them isn't. I'm not going to get into a debate about this: being gay is not a choice, just as being straight is not a choice. Take it from a bisexual, this ain't something that can just be turned off.
Second, let me see if I have your argument clear:
A man wants to marry his sister, this is a choice, so we can disagree with their choice.
A man wants to marry another man, this isn't a choice, so we can't disagree with their marriage.
Is this what you just said?

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
