I think the debates about "scientifically" proving things is equally as silly as basing all your beliefs on religion.
It sounds the same
God says homosexuality is a choice and bad * Yay God
Science says it's natural and ppl are born this way * Yay science
* denotes that so far these statements are not "verified"
The argument that a person was not around during the creation of Adam and Eve is silly. Instead of worshiping an invisible super entity people are more than happy to believe ALL science as fact. Science will control knowledge like religion once did.
Basically, don't just follow blindly what science says. Not just on this, but on a lot of things.
How do I feel towards gays getting married? I don't really mind too much. I've thought about saying I was gay just so I can use it to go further at my job due to minority benefits XD
"Why are you telling me to do x? Cause I'm gay?"
I've known 2 people that grew up to be gay. I am almost 100% certain that one of them did it BECAUSE they talked themselves into it. You can convince yourself to fall for any fetish over time. This guy always stayed with the girls. Trying to sleep with them. As time progressed he started crying more and acting all emotional and such. Always to get attention. And around women.
He tried to sleep with quite a fw of them. Announced later he was GAY and had more women! But kept on and kept on sleeping around that he finally did branch into men too.
Now the other guy may have been born like this.

Somewhat funny experience I had once:
Really old guy at work. Like over 60 years old. He's married, has grand kids. We worked in the same area for years. We hung out away from work at times.
He asked if I wanted to eat at a chinese restaurant and hang out a bit one day. He also said "And maybe I can mess with your wangle a bit"
I said "Hell yeah" thinking he was joking. I joke around a lot like that. I thought he was kidding around and being random or something.
So after eating he drives to this hotel room. (note: on a previous day a few months back he had did the same because he had to reserve a room for a family member so I didn't think anything about this)
Anyway, he asked if I was getting out, I was like... sure I guess...
So at this point I'm slightly suspicious here... so he gets to the room and lays down. I keep waiting for the joke, or whatever prank he was pulling on me. But also looked for anything to defend myself with in case he tried to attack me or something. And I stayed close to the door.
He laid there a minute and said "Well, do you want me to play with your wangle?" I still kept thinking it was a joke, and tried to awkwardly be funny. Finally I was like "Are you serious?" After awkward dialogue about what he thought we might do and he had never done this either and wanted to experiment we finally left. I kept the cell phone on speed dial as I got back into his truck. This was in town and just a bit away from my car. I didn't want to insult him... but it was so strange, I was afraid he may run off with me. In the truck I asked him if I had did anything to make him think I would want to "do something like that" or if I led him on unintentionally somehow.
He said I didn't and dropped me back at my car. He said he wished he'd known that earlier to save him some cash on the room.
That's the STRANGE day of my life. I'm sure I'm a tad prejudice against homosexuality since I was raised with christian beliefs and in Arkansas. But we still talk and have hung out a bit. We didn't talk for a few months. We've never mentioned it again. Not sure if that counts as gay really. Still, it really confused the heck out of me.
So, since I live in Arkansas and am Christian and don't mind gay marriage, you guys have to support me when I marry my sister (or brother)! =p
