5. Having grown up on a farm and being backed by many studies - she's just wrong

If homosexuality is "unnatural" and "wrong" why is it I saw it in the behavior of farm animals? Since they supposedly don't have the higher brain functioning and reasoning of humans then how could it have been a "choice" on their part as so many on the right claim it is a choice on my part.

And how exactly does she make the statement "These aren’t activities that are beneficial or healthy?" In what sense? Sure, you can point to AIDS as a health issue. But that would be a rather shallow argument considering all the STDs that have been around for thousands of years that heterosexuals have happily communicated to one another. There was a long time in history when having Gonorrhea was a death sentence likes AIDs was. You know, before antibiotics or retrovirus treatments.

Beneficial? It's not beneficial for two adults who love one another to partner? To do all the things heterosexuals do to benefit society? Like buy a house, raise children, pay taxes and thereby feed money into the economy?

People like Harvey are just warped by some religious or right wing dogma. I just wish they could stop channeling their efforts into hate and start channeling them into helping "the least of these (Matthew 25:45)" instead. How much more wonderful would the world be if they did?
