We might have to agree to disagree on this on.

Using the notion that marriage or civil unions is a rights issue, homosexual activists are promoting their sexual preferences. Your comparison between vegetables and meat is actually quite apt. Should government be in the business of telling us to eat vegetables instead of meat? Well, different factions do try to use government to advocate their favorite foods. Our government even wastes huge sums paying farmers to grow this and not to grow that, certifying that (USDA Beef), and sanctifying that (Vegetables are good for you.).

Frankly, I don’t know to what extent homosexual behavior is learned, but I do know that much of our behavior is learned. Since I trust politicians about as far as I can throw a loaded dump truck, I do not trust politicians to teach us anything about morality. Since such relationships are barren, I also see no reason whatsoever to license same-sex unions. All this license would accomplish is to provide the government’s endorsement.

Do you need a license just to eat vegetables or meat — or to have sex? Did your partner need to be USDA certified? Well, apparently, some homosexuals want theirs to be so certified.

Statistics from psychological studies? Are you sure that provides good evidence of a morally upright home?
