Is there and Secular reason why being gay is bad. not religious reasons, any not religious arguments?

Yes, but it only qualifies if too many people are gay. If too large a portion of the population is gay (and I mean a HUGE percentage), then the human race would die out. However, since this is obviously not the case, gay marriage is in fact beneficial. Gay couples can adopt kids which is beneficial, and that means that fewer people are causing the world to overpopulate, and overpopulation is becoming a serious problem

Yeah, but they are all bigoted and self-serving. Even the answer above mine assumes that the human race dying out is inherently "bad," or at least worse than going against one's own sexuality.

This is true, it's just the best thing I could think of. And even assuming ones race dying out is inherently bad, it ignores the possibility of artificial insemination.

I was about to bring that artificial insemination up and also surrogate pregnancy, but yeah. You got it covered.

Being one, how really unfortunate it might be, isn't really their choice so being homosexual can't be helped. But it can adapt itself to the environment around them. That is what I expect from any person, homosexuals included. Be in harmony with society.

Being a homosexual is in no way "unfortunate". You are who you are, you love who you love. There are people in the world who don't share your heterosexual attractions. Deal with it.

On the same accord, being deaf or mute isn't unfortunate either, yes?
But enough is enough. I will not debate on this subject any further as it's getting a bit boring.
