Don't see how that matters. You can't control your attractions, just as I can't control the fact I'm attracted to tall brunettes.

I guess. Not sure what modern Islam has to do with this discussion though.

this is why I say why not just call them something else and give them all the rights due to a couple in the eyes of the law. a very simple solution.

People were also frightened to have their kids share a classroom with a black student. People were frightened when women were able to step into polling place and vote. Ignorance and the ability to scare easy are not good arguments for discrimination.
So your solution is separate but equal? Didn't we go down that path before?
