A.  No one is choosing to become a sexual being - they just are, no matter 
what that entails.
B.  There is absolutely no gratification, instant or non, in being beaten, 
spat on, called names, not being allowed the same rights as other enjoy 
(such as adopting or even in some cases, buying of homes), insurance and 
medical coverage denials, etc. in the GAY community or life.  If you think 
that, you have another think coming.
C.  As I recall, the Roman society was a highly sexually oriented one...as 
have been the oriental, the Muslim, the Indian, the - well, you name it.  
Books and "manuals" have been written about the ways and means of sex from 
the beginning, INCLUDING the Bible.

Maybe if people would stop defining the world's problems by what is going on 
between their legs, we wouldn't have the denigration of society you fear so 
much as happening.  Sorry, but I don't believe that having GAY marriages 
happen is going to make the world stop spinning or let the the flood gatges 
of hell open up and swallow us whole.
