So /v/atheism is a default here?

It's just as shitty here as it was on Reddit. Fucking online atheists are the worst, and I say that as an atheist.

The worst kind of atheists are the ones who think they're so superior to other atheists.

Even if being gay was a choice...so what? What does that have to with the government regulating any relationships? Get the government out of the marriage business.
(Like most things it's probably a combination of genetics, environment and choice. The ratios can be debated but in the end it doesn't matter what they are.)

When a conservative says "Being gay is a choice" it seems like everyone just gets caught up in all the great counterarguments they have for that claim. No one stops to think more fundamentally, "Okay, so even if that was true...so what, it wouldn't make it wrong to be gay."

It isn't a choice but nor is it healthy. It is a misdirection of the breeding impulse. That's a sort of birth defect which, if widespread enough, would cause serious problems for any species. I feel like denying this only hurts the credibility of people pushing for gay rights.

I very much believe that people are born sexually agnostic (more or less) and that they eventually fall into specific sexual roles. Being gay is OK with me, not that any gay person needed my validation.
With that said, I also believe that "born gay" is just cover-fire / rationalizing a persons sexual orientation and that there is only a preoccupation with such a notion because, in the society that exist today, there is a stigma.
These are my musings based on what I believe what level of behavior DNA is capable of pre-programming. I very well could be wrong.
