NRO: ok, being gay is natural, but you can't have any rights.

...at least, not according to John Derbyshire of the National Review.  

He dances an interesting dance:

...My own inclination, therefore, is to believe that most homosexuality is inborn, or acquired early in life, possibly by infection, or by biochemical imbalances in the womb, perhaps helped along by some genetic predisposition...Most homosexuality is, I believe, inborn, or acquired very early in life.

<<snip>>

...Further, homosexuality is offensive to many believers in all three of the major Western religions, who form a large majority of the American population. I think that while minority rights ought to be respected, civic majorities ought not be asked to endure offense for the sake of abstract metaphysical or juridical theories, unless dire and dramatic injustices like slavery are in play.

Right, we don't want to offend anybody's precious sensibilities, do we?
