The issues of opposition to same-sex marriage and interracial marriage have obvious correlations.

Religion And Giving: More Religious States Give More To Charity


Who said it was an either/or proposition?
Giving to a "church" is giving to a political organization, not a real charity in the true sense of the word.

I'm for a federal solution that allows for gay marriage in every state.

Besides, it's sexual orientation, not 'preference'.

Scientists have enough evidence now to show that sexual orientation has a biological basis and is immutable.

explain sexual orientation

Two separate and completely different unrelated issues. Race and sexual issues are not the same thing. The homosexual was never bought and sold as property or considered 3/5ths of a person. There were never “homosexual only” water fountains, having to ride in the back of the bus, inability to eat at lunch counters, etc.

Nope. Interracial marriage was and still is between a man and a woman. The unification of the sexes. Bride and groom. Husband and wife.

Why are you even posting in 'gay' related threads if you don't even understand what sexual orientation is?

Here: Sexual Orientation

and here:

Sexual hormones and the brain: an essential alliance for sexual identity and sexual orientation (2010)
Endocr Dev. 2010;17:22-35. Epub 2009 Nov 24. Garcia-Falgueras A, Swaab DF.

The fetal brain develops during the intrauterine period in the male direction through a direct action of testosterone on the developing nerve cells, or in the female direction through the absence of this hormone surge. In this way, our gender identity (the conviction of belonging to the male or female gender) and sexual orientation are programmed or organized into our brain structures when we are still in the womb.

There is no indication that social environment after birth has an effect on gender identity or sexual orientation.
