Well, that's the crux: you think homosexuals are basically normal, and I (and I imagine these lawmakers) don't. I don't mean any offense by that to anyone; I just don't. I think ED people have serious deep-seated problems, too, even though there are plenty of Livejournal communities devoted to being a safe haven for thinking it is normal, and if diagnosed uncured anorexics were ever universally excluded from foster care or adoptions (as I think they should be), they'd be all up in arms.

Don't worry, I won't keep harassing you with my opinion. And I can't say for sure that those infamous Texas lawmakers thought as I do about this. But I imagine it's something very similar. People say that homosexuals can't make a family unit, and I agree-not because I believe that every child adopted by homosexuals will turn out awry, but because I think that homosexuality is not a healthy sexuality. And parental sexuality in a family is more important than most people think. This issue is constantly arranged to look like it's about rights, when I think it's really about basic bio/psychology. If you (not you personally, but the side of society represented by you) could illustrate why homosexuality is actually normal and in order, then the equality question is already taken care of.

And thanks for friending me. I too find it's good to be open.
