I completely agree with you. But how much have you been able to change the minds who don't agree with this?

Thanks for the video, I thought it clearly explained your position.

You didn't change my mind, however. I don't understand why homosexuals require the recognition of society in this form in order to be happy in their own lives. Some would say calling two people married only strengthens their relationship if they want it to be so.

I also have a hard time accepting that being homo- or heterosexual is the same as having blue or brown eyes. There is still room, in my mind, for the argument that being homosexual is a lifestyle and a reinterpretation of certain inclinations.

Beeyo:

1) You're right that the equal recognition of society only matters to people who want it. So, naturally, you wouldn't object if someone tried to take away *your* right to marry, right?

2) When exactly did you interpret your inclinations to settle on a straight lifestyle? If you felt like you genuinely had a choice in the matter (over which "interpretation" you would embrace), then you are probably bisexual. I can see how this might make it hard for you to understand our situation. Many of us who aren't bisexual (who are either straight or gay) never had a choice in the matter, unless you mean the choice between accepting who we are or being alone forever.

If it's an "interpretation of certain inclinations," then why is it that more identical twins share the same sexual orientation than fraternal twins or non-twin siblings? Why is it that a person is statistically more likely to be gay the more older brothers he or she has? There's already a lot of evidence that sexual orientation is a biologically caused trait, not a choice.

Regardless, you haven't explained why (even if my orientation were a choice) you should deny my equal freedom to marry the person of my choice.

By throwing in the bit about serial divorce, you're doubling down. A little reckless, don't you think?

Change yourself is very difficult, make a right change is more difficult, thanks for your video.
