I have a question for you. It's not a trick question. There is no right or wrong answer. You say that if gay marriage is illegal, that is a civil rights issue and gay people are not being allowed the same rights as others.

I think that being gay is genetic in most cases. I don't know what percentage of the time. I'm sure there is a very small percent of the population that are gay simply by choice. But I would guess that in 95% of cases, it is genetic.

Here is my question for you. Let's just pretend that being gay was a choice and was not genetic. Then would you still have the same opinion? In other words, if there was no such thing as gay people, but some people simply had an attraction to both sexes, would it be unconstitutional (in your opinion) if marriage was only legal between a man and a woman?
