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?
i don't give a rats behind why someone wants to marry someone else. whether it be biological or not, it's their business. i certainly didn't have to explain to anyone why i chose to marry my husband.
it's unconstitutional to grant rights to some citizens and not others, which is what currently happens in most states. and i'm ashamed that some countries are ahead of us in this regard.
