    It begs the question. It's only logically sound if it presupposes its own validity.

    He asserts that heterosexuality is a default and homosexuality is a choice to deviate from the default. Your question implies that they are both choices and neither is the default.

    One of you is right and one of you is wrong, but you asking the question is just essentially you asserting your side. That doesn't automatically prove his side illogical.

    I don't see it that way, but okay. The point of the question is to turn their illogic around and use it on them.

    Their argument is not illogical. "Illogical" is not the same as "wrong." There is nothing logically invalid about the assertion that homosexuality is a choice. It's just been proven wrong empirically.

    Oh, I think there's a whole group of people who question which team you're on if you dress well, are interested in the arts--particularly ballet, opera and musical theatre---and have an eye for matching ties with jackets Oh, and if you like rummmaging around antique stores, apparently you can catch Teh Gay there as well. :)

    If you put him on the ballot for congress right now in North Florida, I'm guessing he'd win. (I think you have to be 25 to run for congress) but in that football crazed state, I wouldn't want to run against the guy.

    Here's my guess: Focus on the Family doesn't really expect the thing will air. It leaked word of the commercial and believes (hopes?) that public outrage will spike it. Then they get to play the martyr card.

  12. Won't that be kind of tough, considering the Super Bowl also refused ads from PETA and MoveOn.org in the past, not exactly conservative organizations?
