<<For some people that personal belief is rooted in religion>>

So what does that prove? There have been people that have done unacceptable things in the name of religion. Do we ban religion? You don't ban religion because you perceive it to have done more good than bad.

In my opinion homosexuals have done more good than bad by being good citizens. Most work hard and contribute to society by working and paying taxes. What they do in their bedrooms is really none of your business. I do not see how they harm society.

<<One wonders what your views were before you had a son, or before your son revealed himself to you as having homosexual preferences>>

I was never a gay basher. I did not condemn or condone their lifestyle. If they approached me I simply said no and that was the end of it. In fact I used to hang out in a bar frequented by lesbians and it never bothered me.
