Gays have the right to exist as persons without persecution. That's a given. Some people have stated homosexuality is either a lifestyle choice or a biological abnormality, and both may be dead on, or totally wrong. Its not the why that is important, but the person themselves. They have the right to be homosexual. Where the why matters is in how far we as society have to accomodate them.
However, people like T@T have the right to be opposed to homosexuality and deem it abnormal, so long as his rights do not interfere with the rights of homosexuals. People are quick to attack him, but he has never actually crossed the line from disapproval to hatemongering. He's simply saying he believes it to be abnormal. That's his right.
Tolerance and peacefulness are required, but people are not required to like it and accept that dogma as sancrosanct.

The snickers (at least mine) are about the whole "nature in general" gag and if anyone disagrees with him, we are abnormal too.
And the fact that his argument (and maybe rage) seems to come mainly from seeing of two guys necking on the dancefloor. I wouldn't like to see that either. I also wouldn't like to see a man and a woman making out on the dancefloor during a family wedding. I don't think any of us would condemn heterosexuality as a whole if cousin Gerry and his gal are pawing each other at the next wedding.
