You implied straight marriage was guaranteed by COTUS, it's not. If the Feds are going to pass laws that confer benefits based on marriage, they have no basis to do so.

They also then have no basis then for overturning the will of the voting public based upon the 14th.

If the public have voted based on their religious beliefs, or because they think gay people are 'icky' then damn right the SCOTUS can overturn their votes.

They don't 'choose' any lifestyle. They just are.

IRRELEVANT.
The fact is in THIS country, we have a right to choose to do things that may not be "normal" as long as it harms no one else. When people like OCA start screaming "choice" they are only trying to deflect because they know they can't debate the central argument that the gov't has no right to deny marriage to people.

You would be correct. I have not heard one single argument against gay marriage that can't be shot down in flames. The anti gay rabble don't have any argument - and if they think their Bible can make the argument for them, they are kidding themselves.

OMG where to start...oh christ, you google the lifestyle and its detrimental effects.

That's because the argument doesn't suit what YOU believe. Quite frankly, I have heard great arguments from both sides. If I were to take 90% of the gay marriage debating reasons, I can then apply it to so many other sick things for society and the argument would remain the same. But I'm a betting man, and I'm betting that the "So long as it doesn't hurt anyone" argument will go down the drain awfully quickly.

Care to share with us and leading scientists and researchers the definitive genetic link you've discovered?
You could get a nobel for that!

Its logical. If someone is born straight, because heterosexuality is the 'default' gene, then why would someone choose to be attracted to someone they would never normally be attracted to?
If you think people choose to be gay, do this little experiment. Look up some gay porn, watch it, and try to will an erection. Or try to force yourself to become sexually attracted to one of the participants of the film. If you can, your argument that homosexuality is chosen would be partially correct. If you can't, I win the debate.

You're new here. Let me clue you in.
OCA does watch gay porn, it DOES turn him on, and that scares him. Thus his over the top outrage about the gay.
It's actually an accepted fact around here

Which is usually the case for some homosexual men. Their hatred of homosexuals is really self loathing.You're new here. Let me clue you in.
