I\'ll just say that it is my impression that everyone is born with a random amount of homosexuality, just like with everything else. The difference is that ppl. fear that they could try to \"get close\" to them, but OTOH, what about women? They have a really good reason to have these fears all the time... just because it\'s the other gender doesn\'t mean it\'s any better (in fact, it\'s even worse because they might be forced to have a baby, in addition to everything else).
Also, the polygamy issue is an important thing, because technically you\'d try to reproduce with as many partners as you can in order to spread your genes. However, monogamy is being practised, for various reasons that are not given through birth (but not necessarily invalid), so where is the difference anyway?
The way I see it is that ppl. just need to use common sense, respect and fairness in what they do, no matter what preferences they have, which really is the same as with music and religion.
So yes, I think that homosexual marriages should be treated the same as heterosexual ones, because along with the benefits there also come the duties. I\'m not forcing you to listen to my preferred music...
Edit: AFAICS, the idea behind marriage is not reproduction, since this would work perfectly well without marriage, but it is forming a stable bond, caring for your partner, and all these things that get promised upon marriage. Does the priest ask you \"Will you reproduce?\"? No, he doesn\'t, but he asks the \"good and bad times\" question. Therefore, marriage isn\'t for reproduction, but for social behaviour, which can be there regardless of what gender both partners are. In fact, if you\'d force homosexuals to marry straight, these relations will probably be less social because they don\'t actually like the partner, so this would in fact be unethical.
