I never understood why the religious are so certain of themselves that they have to force their ideals on everyone. Live your life and leave everyone else alone.

I think people are born to seek companionship. I think most people seek out the companionship that appeals to them. I liked large breasted women, was I born that way I got know fucking idea, but I ended up marrying a large breasted woman, actually I did it twice. I dated small breasted women but I ultimately I sought out the lager ones. I can't imagine someone telling me I should be with a small breasted and that I have a choice. Of course I have a choice and I choose large breasted women. Were I gay I suppose it would be a big dick. You like what you like. What does all of this mean to you? Nothing because it makes no difference in your life and you really should living your own life.

That's right. I'm asking why a topic about gay marriage is on the atheist forum.

I'm not taking sides here, but her sign doesn't make sense? Have you ever heard anyone say "Being gay is a choice, so we shouldn't allow gay marriage"? Usually they're opposed to gay marriage because "it's against their religion", "sanctity of marriage", "unnatural", etc.

Am I the only one to notice this issue with her sign?

Yes, I have. Many, many, many times, in fact.

I see. That's kind of a non-sequitur. "Dating blondes is a choice, therefore marrying blondes should be banned"

I look at Marcus Bachmann and I think people can actively choose to be in a homosexual relationship or not. The 'be gay' part, that is really what you want to define that as. Of course when that phrase it used, it too often presumes homosexually is a sin, and is said by some judgmental ass.

To clarify, I believe people will have pre-existing dispositions, genetic or learned. But they also have free will. And it isn't my business what they decide on these personal matters anyway.

I think people sometimes misunderstand the statement of choice. To some people, the choice means your personal attractions and romantic capacity. To other people it means your literal actions. People as a general rule cannot choose who they are attracted to (not in overt ways, typically, but they can open their mind to new experiences and find certain types of people attractive they might not have found attractive before), however they can choose to act in homosexual partnerships and have homosexual intercourse.

This has nothing to do with atheism.
