People love who they love.
Heteros get to enter into a formal relationship with legally binding rights and responsibilities.
Certain religious people try to deny gays this right, citing portions of the Bible that say its a sin.
Note, however, that those who profess to know the mind of the Almighty don't attempt to have other parts of Leviticus and Deuteronomy made part of the civil law.
Whether its a sin or not (something I can't see since sexual preference hardly seems to the product of voluntary choice) God will judge.
(S)he gets a vote. The rest of us only have opinions.
Anybody else notice that when others (especially in the Middle East [especially if they have oil]) try to codify their religious beliefs into their civil law, we call them religious fanatics?
