Close, it was meant to be an analogy to show the foolishness of the arguments that people use to support homosexuality.
The "I was born this way" argument:
I hate to break it to those who justify their actions with this arguement, but people are born everyday with various addictions, mental disorders, or even just plain old hormone imbalances. This makes them much more likely to do certain things, such as get angry, do drugs, and any number of different things, but this in no way justifies their actions.
The "Animals do it, so it's natural" arguement:
Animals steal, kill, scheme, throw feces at each other, and many other things that would never be accept in society, yet someone see this arguement as valid?
Both of these are logical counters to the "God doesn't like gay people; it says so in this book" argument, which is the only one with any sort of foundation I've ever seen from any anti-gay group.
The "It's love, so it can't be wrong" arguement:
Anyone who says this obviously doesn't know what love is. Of course the media displays love as nothing more than sexual attraction, but true love is caring about the well being of someone else above your own. How can you say you love someone if you're taking 40 years off their life just to fulfill your lustful desires? There is no love involved in a homosexual relationship, only lust.
Actually, I think this argument boils down to, "it's love and therefore Holy and therefore necessarily from God; therefore it is not evil."

And yes, gay relationships do harm other people. For one, they cause health costs to rise. If gay marriages are legalized by the government, then insurance companies cannot set a higher premium for gays, so everyone's premium has to go up.
Quantify this impact, please. I think you're completely wrong on this: I don't think same-sex marriages would affect your insurance premium one iota, but please, do the math for us and demonstrate that you're actually advocating second-class status for an entire group of people for what you think will be pennies.
You think its healthy sticking your penis in someone's butt or to sticking your tongue in someone's ***? Sorry, it's one of the most unhealthy things a human being can do. Feces comes out of there, why would a person ever think of doing such a thing? Its disgusting.
If you think that, then stop doing it.
If you think it's too risky and want to ban it, great. In return, we can prohibit you from smoking, motorcycling, riding horses, playing sports or whatever other activities you do that people might dislike.
We should probably ban puppies as well: they eat feces and then lick childrens' faces. I'm sure
you'd find that disgusting, and that's all we need to ban something, right?
Also, I find bananas disgusting. I can't understand how anyone would actually eat something that smells like that. Can I ban bananas, or are you the only one who gets to choose what to prohibit?
And it's not only for selfish reason that homosexuality is wrong, but for the benefit of the potential homosexuals out there. The average lifespan of a heterosexual never-divorced male is 75. Can you guess what the average lifespan of a practicing homosexual is? Roughly 40! Yes, that's right, the average male practicing homosexual lives just a little bit more than half as long as a married heterosexual male. The main reason for this is because gays have a much higher risk for diseases, any where from 200% - 10000% more likely depending on the disease, so many insurance company refuse insure them. As a result they die much much earlier from various diseases, mostly sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS, because they just can't pay for treatment. And we aren't talking a few dollars here, if homosexuals was no longer a legal reason to turn down insuring someone then insuring costs for everyone would go up hundreds of dollars a year. Treating all those life threating STDs isn't cheap.
This is flat-out fiction.
Just for a moment, though, do some more math for me: find out the rate of AIDS in the gay population and the average cost of treating one case over the course of that person's life. Then, find out the rate of age-related dementia in the overall population, and the average cost of treating one case over that person's life. Now... divide the cost of treatment for each by the number of cases per 100,000 (100,000 gay people for AIDS, and 100,000 people overall for dementia) - this will give you the average financial cost per person of each condition.
If gay people die at age 40 like you claim, they will not suffer from age-related dementia, and their deaths will save society (including you) the cost of their costly treatment for this common condition. If you're talking out of your butt (which I strongly suspect) and there's no appreciable difference in life expectancy, then the horrible costs of gay STDs that you're worried about won't actually happen.
Given all this, now please demonstrate that the average health-related cost of a gay person is higher than that of the population at large.
Why don't I let homosexuality be? Because I want people to know the truth before they throw away half their life. Research has proven this time and time again, homosexuals significantly decrease their lifespan and once-married heterosexuals significantly increase their lifespan. Go do a search on the terms "Homosexual Lifespan", "Insured Homosexuals", and "Disease Risk Homosexual" if you don't believe me. If your goal in life is to die at 40 and make your parents bury you, then a homosexual lifestyle is a good way to get there. Homosexuality destroys both your physical life and spiritual life, is it really worth it?
I
have done some research on these topics. Either you haven't and you're just going by what you've been told (or perhaps you consider just swallowing whatever your church gives you as "research"), or you have and you're being dishonest.
