The Morality of Same-Sex Love
This is Wayne State University philosophy professor John Corvino, who fequently debates representatives of the religious right before student audiences. Here is an 8-minute excerpt from his renowned lecture on the morality of same-sex love. His style is informative and entertaining, and when responding to homophobes, a preferable alternative to screaming.

Excellent. And I went to Wayne State for a few years.
And the lifestyle comment was something I've said. My mother said, we don't want that lifestyle in our home. I replied, "I don't have a lifestyle, I have a life, just like you do."
Lifestyle. LOL! what kind of lifestyle does a 21 college drop out have?
Wow, thats great. I wish I could bust that guy out at certain social situations to refute some of the idiots I meet in day to day life.
Also, I just almost typed "gay to gay" life. Make of that what you will.
This is why the world needs philosophers. However, what he points out is pretty obvious logically and should be what every gay person has thought about. Most arguments against homosexuality are specious when carefully examined.
I could probably do an entire post easily refuting the typical arguments, but that's for another day...
