Oh lol. That is hilarious. Imagine a grown adult man saying "But mommy told me to believe." Believe it or not. Grown adult men are that socially retarded these days.

clutching at straws?

If you don't marry the person you love, the state is not stopping you now is it?

Life might get in the way. But not the state.

What an absurd argument.

In a free society, there needs to be a good reason to ban people from doing what they want to do. The best reasoning that the opponents of same-sex marriage can come up with is, "Well, it's the way we've always done it." Sorry, but that's not good enough. If it were, then blacks would still be slaves, and women wouldn't have a right to vote.

Besides that, your comment is mean-spirited. Unfortunately, I think mean-spiritedness is essentially what drives the opponents of same-sex marriage.

True...however, you as a heterosexual have that choice...you have the ability should the opportunity present itself to marry the love of your life.

Well I don't think they discovered any physical proof i've seen it all before, it's just an opinion and anyone can have an opinion, you might want to show some real physical proof but there isn't any and we have all heard it all before.
You might want to try animal theory next, yeah I've heard that one too.
Sorry but all the evidence you want to provide is in the end just opinion.

Yes, it's opinion, but it's opinion from professionals in psychology and medicine. I think I'll give more credence to their opinions than what I hear from the anti-gay crowd - most of whom aren't very well-educated.

Here are two definitions of evil.

"# morally bad or wrong; "evil purposes"; "an evil influence"; "evil deeds"

"# Evil is defined as something that is immoral, causes pain or harm, is offensive, or threatening. In many cultures evil is a broad term used to describe what are seen as subjectively harmful deeds that are labeled as such to steer moral support. Evil is usually contrasted with good."

define: evil - Google Search
while i believe that homosexuality is morally wrong, i dont believe it is evil.
