If you are against gay marriage, explain why without mentioning religion

However, why would anyone not look at homosexuality as a disorder similar to schizophrenea or autism? Just because the consequences aren't as extreme, doesnt mean that they are not disorders. They do affect an individuals normal life. Normal people have sex with the opposite gender because that's what were genetically programed to do. Evolution did not evolve homosexuality into our code, if you took any courses in bio, you would have learned that all evolutions only occur because of a corresponding increase in fitness. If there is a decrease in fitness, then those genes would have been weeded out long long ago.

If homosexuality were a gene, it would get weeded out because a higher % of homosexuals (or bisexuals) would not reproduce then a similar population of heterosexuals. This is the same logic as how pest resistance work (where eventually all pests become resistant because they are the only ones who have reproduced).

Homosexuality is a disorder, it might not be psychological because of political pressure, but that's just politics. Many scientists still think there are psychological reasons as to why people are homosexual. I prefer to beleive it's biological, but that's my opinion.

In the end, it's a random disorder, it affect random samples of the population just like schizophrenea, and there is no reason to see it diferently.

That said, the most important thing is that I don't hate homosexuals, or treat them any differently then heterosexuals. It' not their fault that they are gay, and I hope they do find a cure one day so that homosexuals who wish to be heterosexuals can cure themselves.

Simple as that, the matter might not be as pressing as finding a cure for autism or schizophrenea, but it's a valid disorder, which deserves a cure.
