Good question. Ancient Greeks seemed to not have had a problem with homosexuality. It was a major part of their life (though "Bi-sexuality, or however you call or spell it, is better when in terms of the Greeks of olde)
Actually the Ancient Greeks were pederasts, for the most part, and the practice was not unique to them.
Wiki article on homosexuality
But modern times, most would probably see it as sickening, but many would not care if homosexuals married. Just as long as they dont have to see them kiss or have sex on our television.
So straight people get to have a monopoly over the TV airwaves? Personally, I find soap operas and shows like Blind Date and Survivor sickening, but you don't see me calling for the heads of all those who participate in such drivel. I just don't watch the damn shows!
Others (like mua) would see it as immoral, but as you said, based on religious grounds. But some might see natural grounds on it as well. After all, the only animals That (as far as I and many know) that do this kind of sex are Bonobos (or Pygmy Chimps).
Others have covered this, so I'll leave it alone, for now
Plus, unless someone provides evidence to the opposite, it can leads to the , um, dreaded "Gay Bowel Syndrome" (source will be posted shortly)So based on the potential for harm in this kind of sex, one shouldn't do it, let alone marry to make it "okay" and "legit".
So, the guys who want to get married and no longer take other partners should be denied the right to do so because the more promiscuous ones might get some bacterial infections (there are many included in the original definition of GBS). So, likewise, straight people who want to enter into a monogamous union should be barred from doing so because the more promiscuous ones might get an STD or cervical cancer (women only)? Hey, its your logic, not mine.
In that sense (unless someone disproves that Gay Bowel syndrome is the result of , um, anal sex.
So, Gay Bowel Syndrome isn't exclusively gay at all if it is caused by anal sex because I know a whole lot of straight people who enjoy (and some even prefer) anal sex including many teens who do it because they took some silly virginity pledge and think that anal sex isn't really sex.
Of course, there are certain heterosexual sex acts that can cause injury or sickness (I dont want to be explicit, but it involves a choking response...), but then again, like anal (and therefore gay) sex our bodies where not "evolved/designed" for sex LIKE that.
If our bodies were not designed for "sex like that" then why the hell is the "male G-spot" stuck way up in the rectum? Seems like a silly place to put a pleasure zone if an intelligent designer didn't want it to be utilized. I'm assuming you have never met a straight man who likes his wife/girlfriend/lover to titillate that area.
Fortunately, we have evolved creativity and a desire to have sex around the clock regardless of whether it will produce children. And in that sense having a pleasure zone in an unlikely spot makes perfect sense.
Now, if Lesbian "sex" (Which is not as sickening, But it is still wrong, in my beliefs and opinion)is considered, much of above also is presented against it, except for GBS. I've heared that syphilis is more common than normal with Lesbian than heterosexual acts, but I have to check a particular source to really present it.
Well, besides GBS, you didn't present anything else besides your own disgust which doesn't amount to much especially when laws are being considered (or shouldn't, rather). As for the syphillis, hmmm...did you happen to "heared" that from a fundie website? I'm willing to bet that you cannot find a single medical or public health website that supports that claim.
According to every lesbian health website or pamphlet I have ever read, syphillis is
extremely rare in lesbians. The most common STD's are Herpes, HPV and bacterial vaginosis. All the rest (HIV, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, syphillis, etc) can be transmitted through lesbian sex, but it is much harder to do so and, thus, is not very common.

The source on "GBS" will be here shortly. Gotta go
Was that link really all you could find? It didn't say anything. Apparently you couldn't use any of the others that are listed above that one on google which actually state that GBS is an outdated term and is not exclusive to gays. Just like GRID is now called AIDS and has been for the past 20 years. Better luck next time.
