Hopefully in my lifetime, equality in marriage for gays and lesbians will not even be a debatable issue. There is no correlation between homosexuality and pedophilia; the latter is a serious mental disorder and the former is as inherent as heterosexualness.
It is time for even the religious right to understand one is born with his/her sexual orientation; it has nothing to do with “lifestyle.” Lifestyle implies choices, such as living in a tent or a mansion; being a meat eater or vegetarian; biking to work instead of walking. One’s sexual orientation is no more a choice than one’s skin color.
Embrace the fact that we all get to share this fragile planet and worry about things that matter like air and water pollution.
