re: Jon Huntsman: Gay marriage is inevitable.

Right. Certain people may be born with certain tendencies. For some it may be overwhelming. I'm not saying people shouldn't be gay. I'm not necessarily against gay marriage. A certain genetic predisposition is probably true, but it probably varies in degree and can be influenced, nurtured, neglected, ignored, etc. I'm not talking about a gay person going into self loathing denial. Really talking more about basic personality and the cultural effect. Ultimately, if you start a group and legitimize it, people will join that group. It seems absurd (no straight person would ever have gay sex just to fit in, or be different!), but all groupthink seems that way. Many cultural groups engage in certain behaviors that seem repugnant to outsiders, sex is no exception.

That's my feelings on the matter. They were a subculture that was ostracized. That was wrong. We should tolerate better. Theyre not hurting anyone so we shouldn't begrudge anyone for being gay, the same way we shouldn't begrudge basketball players (another behavior tied into a specific culture). But to grant full legitimacy is overstepping. There's no reason to think homosexuality is good for society, and some troubling reasons to think it's not.
