I believe that more and more people are becoming homosexual, when you where a little kid most boys only hung out with boys and the same with girls, I think that since they grew up with these type of people that they are more likely to be attracted to them instead of someone that they've never talked to before.
Hm, it's hard to say whether more and more people are becoming homosexual (in terms of population trends...this is in fact quite a separate question from the rest of your paragraph!)
Though interestingly, a teacher at my high school was of the opinion that having same-sex schools made it more likely for certain individuals to temporarily believe that they were attracted to the same sex. I'm not sure how this could be reliably studied.
I don't think it could, each child has their own way of thinking, so it would be hard to come to a real conclusion.
And it might not be that more people are gay, but that they are being publicized more. I think that being homosexual is a natural thing, it happens in nature with lots of different animals.
Even I, a religious Republican, think that the government shouldn't have any say in gay marriage. If it doesn't affect your neighbors, then it's not the government's business, if it does, then it MAY be the government's business.

Well in the beginning of time I believe that everyone was straight since we had more people come, and they where taught the way to mate with the opposite sex, I doubt that anyone knew how to have sexual intercourse with anyone of the same sex, I believe that it came with time, just like a new religion, it starts small and more and more people join as more people are on earth and like the idea or disagree with the other.
The whole trend you are talking about is refered to as sodomy the practice of homosexuality is for those who don't have a concscience and/or block out those who disagree for they feel we are "supressing" their "rights" that all people deserve. But I find if homosexuality was right to people of the same gender should be able to reproduce and why doesn't everyone naturally having feelings for the same sex I mean I have never thought of a man as more then a friend.
But I find if homosexuality was right two people of the same gender should be able to reproduce
No, they shouldn't. Then genders would be useless, and homosexuality would have no meaning anymore.
This has been said before, but I suppose I'll have to say it again:
The only purpose of a marriage isn't to reproduce. I know plenty of married couples that are happy and don't want to have children. If you do, adopt or look into foster care.

I agree completly with this... even though some people are married and dont have kids that beside the point, i really dont care if your in love i wont try to stop it but a lot of "married" homosexuals adopt and i don think this is right for their child. As a 3rd grader in my town point god made adam and eve not adam and steve
but a lot of "married" homosexuals adopt and i don think this is right for their child.
Why? Because having influence from only one gender while growing up is a bad thing? I suppose the same could be applied for single mothers or fathers then, as well? So if we're going to deny homosexuals their rights, we can throw in that huge group as well. Sounds like a plan to me.
Do not blame every single Gay couple or person. Most of Homosexuals are born that way. It's not like they just turn that way, no, Some are just born gay, from their brain tells them to like the same sex, it's like how we like girls or boys, it's the opposite side for them.
First of all i know kids that get made fun of because of the fact that their parents are homosexual, there not but still they get treated ad if they were. When i say that im not trying to say homosexuality is something that people deserved to get made fun of fore but it's a fact,

The rationale is that children brought up in a homosexual household are more likely to become homosexual, because people out there still believe that it is a choice.
I completely disagree. But I think that was probably more of what he was referring to with homosexual couples raising children.
Well, I agree with you, Carlie. It isn't a choice at all. One can, of course, choose to act on these feelings of attraction or not. But, there is no choice in choosing what gender one is attracted towards.

And that is why my orientation is so very annoying. >.>
The only problem with homosexual couples raising kids would really be the possible mockery, and potential confusion. I'm not saying that is something that would generally happen, but I could easily imagine a (straight) kid wondering if he/she should be gay... However, I don't that's really a problem... And would think that it's what happens to some straight couples gay children...
The mockery is really no reason at all. Saying something should be avoided because it would be shunned for being the minority it is, is just... No. That's not how progress is achieved.
