The Town Hall article was very frustrating and problematic from about the middle on. Do I believe that people are born gay? No, but I don't believe people are born straight either because infants and children do not have concrete sexual identities, nor should they be thought of in terms of sexuality. The part that really sent me into a tizzy was that same harping on how allowing for interracial marriage didn't "redefine" marriage but same-sex unions will. Black people were brought to this country under the legal definition of "property" and treated a livestock. It was a myth that you could redefine a person as an object, and it's a myth that me marrying my fiancee will somehow corrode the institution that finally, eventually allowed full participation by people who were once legally considered objects.

The whole thing went out the window when he went in for the "then we'll end up legalizing all those other kinds of unions too!" Just... Christ on a cracker...

On the plus side, that Trans article blog article was fantastic.
