I have a very open mind. I think you (assuming you are gay) are very brave. I have purposefully chosen to avoid the homosexual medium. I don't hate you or anyone else. I just don't think it's something worth cheering over. It's a condition limiting in the same vein as a physical handicap for example. Your quality of life is greatly reduced. Referring to science and caring: Yes it does, science is a paradigm which yields knowledge. It is however just a method for discovery and not an absolute authority over existential matters. What it hasn't discovered yet is not proof of nonexistence and should not be used as a basis for refutation. It's lazy and narrow-minded.

Nope, I'm not gay, I'm straight as an arrow, but I'd fight to the death for their right to live as equals. To the death. Take that however you want to. Science has never claimed to be an authority on anything, that's what the religious do. Science is our 'best' explanation for the observable Universe, far, far better than any meta-physical mumbo jumbo, otherwise we'd probably still be tossing infants into post holes for housing supports, as a means to ensure the house would never collapse, or sacrificing children for a good harvest.
No, lazy and narrow-minded is assuming you know the answer, without anything to suggest that's the case, other than the words of people who had no concept of quantum mechanics, or that the Earth is but a microscopic dot in a much larger Universe. Again, science assumes nothing, but it also presumes nothing either (which is what you're doing here). Science works with the repeatable and the predictable. You can lay claim to no such thing.
