Not sure anyone is feeling the 'shame' and 'guilt' either before marriage or 
after.
 
 Is one of the reasons they want gay marriage to assuage their guilt over 
 their 'unusual' sexual behavior? thinking that by society condoning it they 
 would feel relieved?

I seriously doubt it.
 
 Or, do any of them actually have any guilt at all, and if so, is it for real 
 (i.e. from their God given conscience) or just social/religious programing?

I love how you keep using the word they and them like homosexuals are some 
sort of specimen in a petri dish.
 
 And if it's from their conscience could that mean that actually homosexuality 
 is indeed wrong? At least for them? and maybe a clarion call for the rest of 
 us? Could homosexuality actually be wrong and immoral?
 
 Enquiring minds want to know. :-)

It would be nice to think you actually are inquiring and didn't already have 
your mind made up on all of this. However, I get the distinct impression you 
won't be taking that walk down the aisle with your same-sex partner anytime 
soon.

Why do you suppose young homosexuals commit suicide? Hasn't the Gay lobby 
suggested it's because of social programming and society needs to be 
re-educated, starting in the schools? I know in some cases it is explained 
because of bullying, but not all. And not all gays want to be married anyway.

 Why do you suppose young homosexuals commit suicide?

Well, I am neither young or homosexual nor have I been close to committing 
suicide so it would be very difficult for me to answer this question. However, 
since people in all age groups, ethnicities and sexual orientations do 
occasionally commit suicide the question of why some young gay people end their 
lives is probably a good one just as is asking why young aboriginals, young 
affluent white people or even dentists commit suicide. But your question here 
sort of implies that it more rampant among young gay people to kill themselves 
than other groups and I am not sure that is the case. 

 Hasn't the Gay lobby suggested it's because of social programming and society 
 needs to be re-educated, starting in the schools? I know in some cases it is 
 explained because of bullying, but not all.

What do you think?

 And not all gays want to be married anyway.

That is true enough. So where are we going with this?

Nothing important really, I just have a theory that since LGBT's think they 
can't(or won't) change themselves to conform to society they want to change 
society to conform to them...that's all.

I think they've pretty much thrown scripture out the window, though one's 
conscience is another matter, that's a real sticky wicket, we all know we get 
pestered by our conscience now and then, best to do it's bidding I suppose.

I think what gays are actually battling is their own consciences, FWIW. They 
don't have *gay scripture* now do they. What they need is a GAY Prophet, or a 
Gay Jesus if you will. :-)

Researchers have found that suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender 
(LGBT) youth is comparatively higher than among the general population. LGBT 
teens and young adults have one of the highest rates of suicide attempts.[1] 
According to some groups, this is linked to heterocentric cultures and 
institutionalised homophobia in some cases, including the use of LGBT people as 
a political wedge issue like in the contemporary efforts to halt legalising 
same-sex marriages.[2] Depression and drug use among LGBT people have both been 
shown to increase significantly after new laws that discriminate against gay 
people are passed.[3] Bullying of LGBT youth has been shown to be a 
contributing factor in many suicides, even if not all of the attacks have been 
specifically addressing sexuality or gender.

My older sister is a so-called lesbian and she ask me what I thought about it. 
I told her it didn't matter, but she kept on pestering me about it (I think she 
inwardly knew how I felt) so after at least 3 attempts I responded thinking she 
really just wanted to know my feelings or beliefs about it and I said, I think 
anyone who engages in it is morally bankrupt, I haven't heard from her in over 
30 years, oh well! :-)

Certainly gays and lesbians don't have a corner on lust, for it says in Romans, 
all have sinned and fallen short of the high calling of God. Straights are as 
big as sinners, there's plenty to go around, isn't that what Christmas is all 
about, saving us all from satan's power, as it says in the Xmas carol?
