Progressive Grievances with Gay Marriage Supporters
If gay rights activists believe homosexuality is ok, why do they derogatorily accuse any one person who disagrees as being gay themselves, or a closet case? Is not this "intolerance" and using "derogatory language?

•Preaching against homosexuality causes gay teenagers to commit suicide.
Peter LaBarbera. "The Gay Suicide Myth", The Journal of Human Sexuality, 1996 pp.6572 http://www.leaderu.com/...
•"Being Gay is a healthy & comfortable lifestyle".
Homosexuality is neither a healthy lifestyle for gays or children.
Gays have higher rates of liver & rectal cancer, HIV & higher rates of suicide. An Oxford University Study found men in their twenties who engaged in sodomy had about a 20% chance to live to age 65. The median age of homosexual males is 42 yrs old, homosexual women is 49. Research has found 43% of Caucasian homosexual males had sex w/500 or more men and 28% had 1,000 or more partners. The avg. number of sexual partners for gays is 106 per year, straight averaged 8 partners in a lifetime.
•"Homosexuals are born gay & there is nothing they can do about it."
Dr. Robert L. Spitzer-gay rights activist-published a study a gay person can be changed straight. In the Archives of Sexual Behavior, 200 gays changed their desires & lifestyles. In 2004, 850 former homosexuals wrote full page ads in the USA Today & New York Times saying they turned their backs on their former gay sexual lifestyles & are now straight.
•"50% of all straight marriages fail, marriage is not sacred"
Just because there is a high divorce rate does not mean we need to change the marriage standard. Just because a high percentage of participants fail at keeping their marriage together, does not mean marriage is flawed.
•"Gays don’t choose to be gay & deserve the same rights as straight people"
There is no credible evidence to conclude people are born gay. Inborn trait studies such as those of twins, prove otherwise. Half of identical twin studies didn’t have the same sexual preference. Therefore, something other than genetics must account for homosexuality. If homosexuality were inherited, then identical twins would either be both gay and both straight.
•"Children need loving parents no matter if they are gay or straight"
Family structure is the most important factor in a child’s development. The optimal environment for a child to grow up in is with their biological father & mother in a conflict free marriage. A major study in the Journal of Marriage & Family found children living with their biological parents had lower risks of become sexual active. Children raised by homosexuals are the most likely to develop homosexual tendencies themselves.
•"Banning gay marriage is discrimination"
All laws "discriminate" in one way or another. Laws reflect natural law & morality. Incest, bigamy, polygamy & pedophilia are all sexual relationships that society has deemed immoral without legal justification & protection. It is common sense.
•"How Does Gay Marriage hurt Natural Marriage?"
The recognition of Gay Marriage would contradict evidence & fact that shows children born into monogamous, heterosexual parents/biological parents is the best family setting for the raising of children.
