Murder and rape are also the norm in the animal kingdom. Are we going to start giving those a pass because we see animals do it? Stop trying to use animal life to excuse unnatural behavior. The purpose of evolution is to equip life with better ways of surviving in the world, helping a species to further propagate itself through its genes via reproduction. A gay couple cannot have children naturally, and therefore starve their species of vital genetic material needed for the propagation of the species. Therefore, homosexuality is an anamoly within the evolutionary process, and therefore unnatural.

And marriage isn't a right, it is a privilege. Using your own line of reasoning, heterosexual marriage has been the norm in almost every culture on the planet. The fact that the majority of humanity has historically been against gay marriage, even in some of the most liberal cultures, means that marriage isn't something that is a right. You aren't entitled to marriage. Countless cultures made it clear that you had to pass certain requirements before you were deemed fit for such an arrangement. So from a religious, cultural, and even evolutionary stance, homosexuality isn't natural, and trying to force everyone to accept such unions is the reason no one likes them.

I mean, look at the whole civil union debacle. Civil unions had almost all of the same perks marriages had, but gay couples didn't like the term "civil union" since it told people exactly what that union was. It didn't have the same ring or acceptance as "marriage" did. Then you had the whole "gay gene" debate. LGBT groups were trying to show the world that homosexuality was something you were born with, and claimed there was some mysterious gene that made you gay. But for the last thirty years, nothing has been found, and more and more evidence has been coming out that gay men just have a hormonal imbalance when conceived, and lesbians aren't really gay, but bluff it due to past psychological events linked to their childhood.

The more information that come out, the more reason I have not to support homosexuality. As a Christian I have to respect homosexuals, but I have no obligation to support them or promote their lifestyle.
