Born this way, baby

I have noticed a particular lack of anti-homosexual debate in this forum. Therefore, I figured I would start a thread to see if anyone was interested in making their opinions known or if perhaps there is an anomaly on this forum where such a subject is considered unworthy to the bigger God does or does not exist debate.
I am gay. I mentioned it already in one thread somewhere, I think it was the "Former theists" thread in regards to why one became an atheist.
One video I have found quite informative in regards to scripture regarding homosexuality is what I will share at the end of my thread. I hope you watch it, because it truly does give a very informative stance on the biblical perspective of the subject.
I would love to have a great debate with theists on this subject, because it is one of my strongest.
Here is the video:

Theist will ignore you out of fear to reveil their craving for man love.

Wow, I was really surprised when that kid "came out" around 7 min in.
But I digress, start your debate.

And to get a standard of your position, are you a top or bottom? (or both?)

I think the most anti gay people are the ones who are concerned about their own sexuality.

There a quite a number of LGBTQ people on this forum and for the most part we see no difference, they are people and have a voice and so post on this forum as valued members.
Your debate topic is nothing new here but DO start a thread Infidel to take this topic further.

My two cents, Mr. Infidel:
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

You noticed a lack because most homophobes don't last long here.
Part of the reason this is a good forum is that the core group of visitors here are pretty accepting of other people's sexuality, choices, kinks, or eccentricities.

I've had a few people here try to belittle me for being trans, but they're easy enough to shrug off. I mean, haters gonna hate.
Besides, they're so much fun to make fun of.

If you want a debate, perhaps you should state a position, rather than posting an hour-long video.
Is the title - Born this way, baby - your argument?
If so:
1. Define gay.
2. Support that you were born gay.
3. Explain what being born that way has to do with anything.

This could het interesting. As far as I was aware, nobody here doubted that sexuality is a natural trait, and any who did doubt it don't think it matters.
I agree that it's only people who are insecure about their own sexuality who have a problem with the sexuality of others. Nobody else gives a shit.
