Good comment... not that reality necessarily matters more than addictions and illusions to "blue state" types though.

The overwhelming majority of men who regularly engage in homosexual sex are bisexual. Even if you accept the highly questionable premise that we are born with a sexual orientation, for that overwhelming majority of the young men (especially ages 10 to 16) who have urges to engage in the impulses of their homosexual side it is perfectly reasonable to say it is not okay - stifle your gay impulses and engage your heterosexual side instead, or you could end up habituating yourself to homosexual pleasure and be unable to choose otherwise later on in life.
It works the same way as smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol and using other drugs when you are young. If you do it young, it will probably get a grip on you that you will never really be able to completely shake.  Link
 [And another:]
The French also recognize the conflict between being gay (which they view as okay) and the child's rights (where they recognize that the child has a right to his real parents, and that right is in conflict with what gay marriage entails). Whether it's okay to be gay or not is a value judgment - ultimately, it depends on your faith-based beliefs, which are the assumptions your moral code is based on. Humanists and universalists believe it's okay. The Dalai Llama says it's not, and so does the Bible. That is the correct answer - if your faith teaches X, then Y; if your faith teaches A, then B. The Christian should be referred to an appropriate Christian resource for dealing with the problem - lovingly, but without denial.
Denying a Christian's needs is no less hateful than denying a gay person's needs - unless you're a humanist and therefore have permission to reject "The Golden Rule".
