A "Gay Gene" equals a genetic defect? [View All]

I came across this on a different board, and was wondering what you thought:



"Why should gay marriage be allowed? From a scientific point of view, they have genetical defects. Homosexuality is a mutation that disallows a person from making the choice to have normal sexual relations (aka being a heterosexual). Let's face it, if people aren't pulling their weight around in furthering the species, then why should they have the rights that have been traditionally granted to those who do further the species? What happened to natural selection? What's the worth of a life when it's the end of a line in history? Wouldn't a segment of a continued (blood)line be more important and, thus deserving of marital rights exclusively?"



It's definetly not something I agree with, and though I am not looking to argue with this person (I'm stressed out enough right now as is), as I said, I am interested in your perspectives.
