I greatly enjoyed Aaron's lecture and I was glad that he took the stance that he did. I wasn't expecting that at all. As someone whose best friend is bisexual it was a unique and somewhat weightless experience to be in a room where homosexual marriage was being discussed not as a matter of immorality or sin but from a court rooms standpoint. People weren't screaming and yelling at each other and making immature, uneducated comments or arguments. It was a well rounded discussion, with a strong yet carefully unbiased position.
The only problem I had with his argument was when he claimed that homosexuals needed proof that their nature is "immutable". Do we need proof that we are heterosexual? How do we know that we are heterosexual? We were born that way. How do we know we were born that way and we weren't just conditioned that way? These are just a few of the ridiculous questions that we place upon homosexuals and the LGBT community that we would never impose upon ourselves because it's simply ludicrous.
I commented on Caleb's.
I totally agree with you! I think the LGBT community is held to an unfair higher standard.
