Homosexuality is Natural and gay marriage should be legalized

To call Homosexuality unnatural is an understandable argument from ignorance but is it factual? *See movie: http://www.youtube.com... Biologically it is not a dead end as It helps with population control, a problem that we are facing today. If the human population outgrows the agricultural limitations there will be mass starvation, disease, war, etc) Animals with Homosexual tendencies are less likely to pass on their Genes thus having fewer or no offspring taking a total off the environment in the long run whilst they contribute to the species. Think of it, People could marry whom they loved without fear of a negative lash-back from society. Not only could they be in loving stable relationships but they will reduce the strain the growing population puts on the environment and think of all the orphan kids who could find homes with two loving parents. Not to mention that without the discrimination homosexuals can go out and peruse their career goals and perhaps create initiatives or find solution to the problems we face (mainly environmental in my eyes, but it can also be social or technological, etc.) I'd rather let a gay couple get married and live their lives to the fullest without discrimination then force believes that they do not hold nor should they have to on their lives. Socially, by not portraying Gay marriage as acceptable False feelings of guilt and regret are thrust upon teens that can not control their sexual preference. They either have to pretend to be strait to appease society and take a wife passing on the homosexual gene or commit suicide (There have been documented cases of teens committing suicide because of sexual preference and society being intolerant) I'd assume there is even more undocumented cases where the teens don't want to burden their families with the knowledge of their perceived "perverted" sexual preference. I'd like to pass the notion that portraying "same sex marriage as an ideal for " same sex couples would improve the quality of their lives. Lead to less suicides, and lessen the growth rate of the human population thus reducing the stress we put on the environment Via agriculture and transportation thus buying us some time to find better "green" alternatives to better the quality of life for all humans. As far as the traditional form of marriage always being a "Child-Focused institution" Obviously Sex lead to children. But Marriage was very different when it started than it is today. For one Woman didn't really get a say. Women were property to be owned. Family's would show off their daughters and marry them off to make ties to other families (Like a business contract) be it for wealth or status (This was very common in the Victorian Era) Sadly even in the bible Marriage was not restricted to one man and one woman.. King Solomon had (as indicated in 1st kings 11:1-3) around 700 wives and 300 concubines (A concubine is a fancy word for Sex slave) and incest was fine up until the times of Moses. (If God created Adam and Eve and they populated the world… think about it.. then to Noah's ark.. His family also had to re-populate the word post flood) Furthermore saying that marriage is Child based does this mean that Marries between couple who don't have kids (either by choice or accident, or infertility) Shouldn't be allowed to be married? Is it somehow less valuable? Marriage has evolved over the years at one point interracial marriage was illegal. Now days not only can women choose who they marry but they can do so without worries of the color of skin. Seriously though how does another persons Marriage de-value yours if they are gay? We have the age of consent for a reason. (So pedophiles don't get away with forcing kid into relationships) Incest often leads to perverse side effects in the offspring so that should just be common sense to have a law against it. And heck with divorce rates as they are in both religious and non-religious situations heterosexuals aren't doing a bang up job of keeping the union sacred. As long as we prevent Homosexuals from getting married (or as long as we discriminate against them for being married which is basically racism just focusing on sexuality rather than race) we are implying that they are lesser people and that there is something wrong with what they are doing (when all the evidence points to it being a natural phenomenon, one that could if accepted actually benefit society) Then Equality is not there. We are imposing a belief system which even Christian denominations cannot agree upon on the rest of society. If this is our logic then Atheistic marriages should hold no value because Marriage should be a religious thing. In reality religion does not own marriage society does. And Society has come a long way since it began, hopefully we can get over this homophobic attitude soon and see our children look back in the history books in shock that people could be so narrow minded and discriminate against their fellow man and woman simply because of sexual preference. To stop two mature consenting adults who love each other from getting married because you deem it to be immoral in your belief system and thus deny the right to equality as has been done in the past to people of different race and gender is in my eyes a horrific act of fear and selfishness that can be accredited to nearly any discrimination in the dark pages of human history. I do however recognize that this is not the intent that people who oppose gay-marriage hope to put forward, this is not your intent. I want you to know that I think Highly of you and recognize that the reason why you are opposed is simply because of your religious (and quite possibly political) convictions and upbringing, or at least this is what I perceive. This I can understand and even relate to in a very large degree but it does not make your stance right or moral for that matter (although, and parts of modern morality is subjective I can understand why you perceive it to be). Since the leading evidence point to genes being a key factor in sexual preference we can assume that the Gay bashing in the bible was not the will of an all loving just God, at least not until you can think of an adequate reason why such a God would purposefully create homosexuality with full knowledge that man would pick up homosexual tendencies via genes, and then make it a crime punishable by death. Would loving God commit such a malicious act?
