It's not a strawman argument - the person who wrote the bill openly admitted that he thinks gayness is a spreadable condition and that's the reason he wrote it...because he's afraid it's spreading.Again, strawman arguments don't work with me or any others that don't agree with you. I'm certainly not afraid of gay people. In fact, all people are God's creation and we should treat them with dignity and respect. Where I draw the line is where I'm supposed to celebrate Gay-ness (sorry if that's not the correct word). You may believe there is a genetic cause to same-sex attraction. I don't and neither do other scientists.
On a perfect board, no one would state, "hey, I'm gay" or "hey, I'm straight". I just don't care what your orientation is. If I can't treat you like a lady or gentleman, I shouldn't be on here.
Also, please don't misrepresent science. The article itself states that there is no SINGLE genetic cause of a person being gay...that's completely different from saying that genes aren't the cause. It could be a particular combination of genes.
If you are averse to celebrating gay people...are you averse to celebrating Irish people? Or people of color? Or women?
