Gay rights?

At first it was a discussion about the reason why Microsoft abandons the gay rights bill. More or less. Some people will just want to flame Microsoft just because its Microsoft. However, the comments turn quite interesting when some religious person started to spout their bigotry statements. The rest of the sane people started to pick apart the myths and whatever things were spouted against the gay rights bill or the gays in general. Turns out that homosexuality is a norm in nature. There are gay communities among the penguins. Turns out that gays can love each other like the rest of the couple in this world. Turns out that marriage gives fundamental rights to couples that most of us takes for granted. Rights like tax break and stuff. Turns out that child rearing have nothing to do with sexuality thus there isn't a valid argument against gays adopting children. Turns out that gay isn't a disease that infect others. Turns out that homosexuality isn't a psychological problem. Turns out that the only reason why people are intolerent of gays is because it was based by a book which they claim are from God. Does this sound absurd to you? My former church All Saints Cathedral, being Anglican, a sect in Christianity, officially do not support gays. They are against homosexuality. I find it very ironic though. A place which preaches the love and mercy of God turns out to be intolerent of a sexual orientation which we have yet to understand.
