Im a programmer by trade, its what i do, but its not what i AM. I think the difference comes in when you make a choice. I had no choice to be a male, its what i am. I had a choice to be a programmer, so its what i DO.
If you believe that a homosexual is born, not made.....then i think that would be considered who they are. Most people who oppose gay marriage and homosexuals in general, believe that it is a choice, and therefore what they DO. They use this to justify their bias.
I have no idea whether homosexuality is a choice, but i'm just pointing out the difference, and how its used by both sides in this argument.

Brian,
Let's take a gay man.
Why can't he marry? Isn't it for what he is? Not for what he does?
What if he promises never, ever ever to have sex. Can he then marry? If not, then it is for who he is (and who his partner is), not what he does, isn't it?
What exactly do you mean by "what they DO?"

WRONG
Whether you believe homosexuality is genetic, learned, voluntary,
whatever.....african americans were discriminated against for who they are,
homosexuals would be discriminated against for what they DO.
A distinct difference, whether it matters or not......*shrug*

That really, really baffles me. They are just the same in my mind. In
both cases, you have people that are being discriminated against
because of who they are.
