I do not know anywhere in scripture that says some people are or are not born with an attraction to the same gender, as far as I know the scriptures are neutral on this. It however is not neutral on the act of homosexuality in any form. Scriptures do not speak against the gays not having rights, it speaks against gays having the right to marry and act physically upon their feelings. So I would believe that gays having rights as married couples is scripturally wrong. Thus the reason most Christians are opposed to those rights and it is our right to choose to oppose those rights according to our Constitution. To deny a gay person the rights as an individual is wrong as long as the community says it's okay, and scripture does not speak against it, this should be a Christians stance. This subject is a hot bed of disagreement and until both sides sit down and peacefully try and draw sensible conclusions to this it will remain so, hate and anger have never solved a problem, only increased the misunderstandings of both sides.
Sensible conclusions? There can be none as long as your side continues to with this irrational position. Regardless the immorality of telling someone that it is wrong to act according to one's nature, there is no justification for denying them their individual rights. A person's individual rights and their limitations are determined by the nature of his being, not by community's say so. And therefore, it is not acceptable to deny them those rights even if the community says it's okay.

This subject should not be open to vote, constitutionally speaking. Certain fundamental aspects of the constitution are not open to change via popular vote - which is why the courts have the right to strike down certain changes as unconstitutional - and this subject should be considered as one of them.
