We want to recast the debate shifting from arguments over origins (is homosexuality 'in born' or 'chosen'?)...In our view, it does not matter how one becomes homosexual, because there is nothing wrong with homosexuality... We believe that the freedom to be different and act differently should not depend on whether or not an individual is 'born that way.
We desire more public space for secularism, space that would recognize secularism as a legitimate moral stance. But we simultaneously desire more religious freedom (which is not the same as advocating more religion)... We want the freedom not to be religious and the freedom to be religious differently...

In short, for dissenting views to be heard currently, they have to speak the language of a consensus from which they are already excluded. The price of refusing to speak this common language is either not to be recognized at all or to be recognized only so as to be dismissed as an 'extremist.
