Re: Gay marriages... dictated by religious authorities

Phil, do you know what normal means? If all species do it, it IS normal. It may or may not be beneficial, but it is certainly normal.

I don't want to get bogged down in semantics. Certain things that exist across all species are neither normal nor functional. An example is schizophrenia. Other mammals get it and it exists in every culture. Yet, most people would like to see a cure for this affliction even though it's "normal" by your definition.
Regarding my arguments - it's often stated by gays that "some members of all species exhibit homosexual behavior, therefore it must be normal and natural, and should be accepted as such". I'm simply saying that this idea is bankrupt, and the examples I gave show why.
