everybody knows that homosexualism is a deviation so why should we tolerate homosexual marriages? If we accept it than other deviant people will start claiming their rights - including pedophils etc

I doubt it, Anon. Marriage requires:
1. That both parties consent;
2. That both parties be above a certain age.
If marriage is possible, it's no longer paedophilia.

You
seem to have no understanding of logic. You also are surely aware that
you have little understanding of what everybody knows.

This sounds like pure
rubbish to me. I can't believe that you would believe such a poorly
thought out argument, or that you would expect anyone else to.

If one accepts, which I do not, that homosexuality is unnatural, why does it follow that it should be disapproved of? Humans do lots of unnatural things like dyeing their hair, shaving and cooking their food. Why single out homosexuality?

The notion that homosexuality is unnatural is ridiculous.
Everything that occurs in nature is natural, by definition. This is
just an excuse. As to why it "should" be disapproved of, it is natural
for members of our species to show fear and disapproval of different
religions, skin colors, etc.

I disagree that it is natural to show fear and disapproval of different religions and skin colours. When you have young children playing together they don't even notice these differences. Such prejudices have to be learnt from the adults around them. They are learnt behaviour, not 'natural' at all.

I personnally agree with the homosexual marriage. As someone already said here, it is a choice- if u prefer being with a person of the same sex it's a personnal choice and u have the right to do it. To say that it is bad or against the nature, or... it is narrowminded. We should respect the way of living of other people, if two persons of the same sex decide tomarry- they do what they want! the real importance for me is to be happy. I think people should be tolerant towards them, to overcome their prejudices, not to classify persons by gving them labels, even if it is often easier than trying to understand the difference!

If they
are not natural, if they are not part of nature, then how could they be
learned? Furthermore, does not the fact that such learning has been in
the majority throughout the history of our species cause you to think
that such learning might be natural. This does not make it ideal, but
the fact that it has occurred naturally to the majority of our species
should be an indicator that it is natural. By natural, you seem to
think that I mean that it is unavoidable. Homosexuality is natural, but
it is not the only natural expression of sexuality.
