In contrast, I do think you're that dense. You're running into the same issue as your ideological compatriots ITT. You start from the presupposition that homosexuality is "from birth" (which shifts and changes based upon the ability to debate of the person with whom you are arguing) and all evidence, no matter how contradictory, is simply fit into that bias.

Have your other prejudices been taken away because of biological evidence? There should be at least one group you can legally discriminate against. Right?

Your powers of reasoning are constipated but that doesn't mean you're dense. Just scary.

I don't legitimately dislike them. That's another ship mired in the Sargasso Sea of your logically-impaired arguments. My good friend who has now decided he is gay is still my good friend. He knows I don't agree with him and I still love him and his wife and kids. We text and talk regularly. He's no less a person than I am. He is just struggling with different things than I am. There's theological underpinnings to that whole discussion which I suspect are beyond both your ken and your care.
