Politicians have a mental disorder in order to become politicians in the first place.

And obvious troll is obvious.

This is an absurd debate. I have nothing more to say on the topic.

So just because you have the 'misfortune' to develop intimate relationships with people of the same gender, you automatically can't get into politics?

What is wrong with homosexuals? I actually don't even like distinguishing between heterosexuals or homosexuals. We are all people. Just because somebody doesn't want to 'get with' someone of the opposite gender doesn't mean they have a mental illness. They are perfectly healthy. It's close minded homophobes who shouldn't get anywhere in life.

No one has the right to deny anyone of their rights here in America! So why do the republicans keep using their faith and beliefs of what they think is right on others? Doesn't the Word of God say in (Acts 15) "It is through grace of our LORD Jesus Christ that we are saved, just as they are." Republicans open your eyes and your hearts and stop being so high and mighty, and love God's people He created. We have to love you guys don't we?

I don't see sexual orientation being an issue in holding an office.

It's natural to be afraid of what you don't understand. However, we are at a point in our humanity that we can look past our ignorance and come to terms with what's real. Homosexuals aren't tiny little devils that want nothing more than to torment you, no, they are human beings. I sure hope that were all trying to promote general humanity still, because things like this debate really make me believe that all people are inherently selfish. Someone please tell me otherwise!

I'm not saying that homosexuals shouldn't have rights and it's not a matter of ignorance. Statisticly, gays are much more likely to develope mental illness. This is not based an faith or religious creed of any kind, it is FACT.

In my experiences, I have found that there is no such thing as right and wrong. Instead, there is only ones perception of the world.

In a world as filtered and proccesed as the one we live in, you can't speak of facts without speaking out of an opinion. It is folly to assume any singular incident as truth. That is contradictory to the nature of science. I am sorry, but self-inherited validation won't sway me.

That is not an argument. Don't post if you aren't going to give a valid argument.
