I am at the traditional side. I think homosexuality is a mental disorder. While some homosexual people may have this disorder and there is medical evidence (I really feel sorry for them and think they should get help), that does not mean it should be considered 'normal' and legalized in the form of the 'marriage'. No, of course not. There is no marriage. It's a big delusion. This behaviour is unnatural, immoral and wrong. However, there are people, who deliberately advertise homosexuality and speak about 'human rights'. My opinion is that these people (e.g. gay/lesbian parades) should be banned because what they do is more harmful than abusing their 'rights'. After all, normal people also have rights to protect themselves and their children.

Medical evidence of homosexuality being a mental disorder? Citation needed. But by your standards, since I have a mental disorder (Asperger's syndrome), that would disqualify me from marrying someone else with Asperger's. Now, my wife doesn't have it, although it runs in her family. But should that mean I shouldn't have the right to marry another Aspie? No, it doesn't. Psychology fail.
"I think homosexuality is a mental disorder."
For a definition of "mental disorder" that encompasses aspects of ourselves that can neither be changed and do not hinder us from living life normally and happily, then yes. I can only begin to imagine how many "mental disorders" I possess by that definition, however.
"I really feel sorry for them and think they should get help"
I feel the same way about those afflicted with the unfortunate mental disorder known as "religiosity".
" This behaviour is unnatural, immoral and wrong."
It occurs in nature, it hurts no one, and you're the one whose wrong.
And, you guys just have no respect for the first amendment at all unless you can usurp it as an excuse to Bible-thump. Pathetic.
"I am at the traditional side. I think homosexuality is a mental disorder."
Except that in most traditional societies -- with the obvious exclusion of certain middle-eastern ass-backward tribes -- homosexuality was indeed accepted and even celebrated.

After reading your post, that saying about glass houses comes to mind.

Argumentum ad Hysteria?
"There is no marriage."
IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY!
Oh, fuck off. You don't even have to watch a pride parade if you don't want to; nobody is forcing anything onto you. But you have no problem forcing your beliefs onto us.
Gentoo penguins are beautiful, noble creatures who like to surf. Some are even gay or bi. Quit insulting them by using that name!

I don't like gay pride parades, so I don't go. There, I'm protected from gay pride parades. I don't want to marry a gay person, so I won't. There, I'm protected from gay marriage.
Unless someone is coming into your house, dragging you to a pride parade, then hauling you off to city hall to force you into a gay marriage, how are you not protected?
"I think homosexuality is a mental disorder"
The DSM IV-TR says otherwise.
Who is more likely to be correct...a half-wit fundie, or a manual published by the American Psychiatric Association..hmmm
What you think has no impact on the rules of society, numbskull. Homosexuality is considered normal, and it is legalized in the form of marriage in many countries.
Not only "gay/lesbian parades" speak about human rights for homosexuals. Many heterosexuals support this as well.
It's called empathy, compassion, respect. You should try it, it's rather fun and rewarding.
In what way is homosexuality harmful? Who is harmed, and how?
You can't protect your children from reality. Speeding cars can actually be harmful, should we ban all cars?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
