Seriously???
It's a biological occurrence to be attracted to the same gender. It's not gross, weird, blaspheme, or whatever. Same sex marriage has been legal over here since April 2001, but I don't have to tell you that gay people over here have been 'out' for a long time already. No one cares, even the religious political parties have accepted it.
I'm getting really tired of people treating homosexuality as a disease, it's not, like I said, it's a natural occurrence. It's not contagious and it does NOT make people less than other people.
Same sex marriage and especially homosexuality should be legal everywhere. Nothing will change and it will not affect the lives of heterosexual people at all. And for people who bring up religious arguments: Again, it's almost 2013. Time to accept science into your heart and not the words of some bearded drifters from 3000 years ago.
Let's start looking at each-others similarities instead of differences. That's much more interesting and useful.

Ah, but cancer is also a natural occurence, but it is also a disease. 8)
My opinion is that it is a disease. The definition of disease is "A disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant", which, given that one of the functions of all life is to reproduce, definitely covers homosexuality. Hating on people on that basis is akin to hating on mothers who cannot bear children, which would be seen as obscene.
However, it is a disease that really shouldn't be the cause of all the hatred. It doesn't harm anyone, is 'uncurable' and should just be accepted for what it is: harmless. The world should let us get on with our lives. A homosexual bond can be just as strong as a hetero bond, and it should be recognised as such.
Of course homosexuality as a 'disease' can only be considered as such if you believe (as I do) that it is not a conscious decision. But a result of genetics and the environment in which you are brought up in. Circumstances out of your control.
