That'd be great, except that the demands are not that simple. I really wish
I new where to look for the lawsuits, I've heard about them on the news and
from Christians, but I've never been able to read about them.

It is no longer that simple. Merely stating within public earshot that you
don't like a minority group can illicit a lawsuit these days.

It wouldn't be bad at all if it were that simple. Unfortunately, when a
homosexual demands official membership into a Christian church, but does not
wish to follow thier instructions as dictated by the Holy Bible, I have to
wonder what exactly is the motivation. If I don't like the rules of a club,
I won't join.

The Christians vs. the government more likely, as the discovery of a gay
gene would certainly institute severe tolerance laws that would quickly
force Christian chruches to accept the minority group's demands, or be shut
down. However, the gene is still only a theory, yet society is being forced
to accept it as fact. Therefor, in my opinion, the "movement" reeks of
political motivation, rather than equality.
And so, my stance on gay-by-choice stands firm...until gay-by-birth can
actually be proven.
