I think you are cunfusing sex and gender; it's commonly done. Sex is the biological state of being male or female. Gender is the social expression of masculinity or feminity. While one could argue that sex is binary (dismissing anyone who deviates from this abberent), gender clearly isn't. Not only does no one behave purely and exclusively 'masculine' or 'feminine', you can't even get a clear agreement of what that would be.

Quote:
sexuality is either natural ( heterosexual ) or unnatural ( homosexual)

unnatural sexual orientation is a choice and a behavior it is not inborn
I have two points to make with this. FIrst, how do you determine what is natural? Second, does being natural make something right? (or conversely, is anything that is unnatural therefore wrong?)

Quote:
while I have no desire to persecute homosexuals for their choice of behavior , I do not want my tax money spent nor the government representing me condoning or offering legitimacy , or conferring the sanctity of marriage on unnatural and unacceptable behaviors as if it were normal and on a par with natural behavior.


if that isnt liberal PC on my part , I can only say ...good , as long as I am opposite to the liberal and PC ideal then I know I am correct
OK, fine. But again, you aren't being asked to pay for anyone's wedding.
