Dry, homosexuality is a bad thing or perceived as such?For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

You know the answer to that better than any of us.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

And why would that be?
It isn't bad. Love is not wrong. Just as simple as that.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Weren't you the one who perceived homosexuality as bad, and then realized it was not?“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

Except there was not anything wrong with being gay in the first place.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

It reminds me of a George Carlin quote... Paraphrased a bit...
"They ask what would Jesus do? They don't tell you that so they would do it, but rather tell others to do it".
Kinda describes a certain food stamp buying admitted criminal on this site. I am sure Jesus would have really approved of taking away food from the poor.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Religion is quite good at making people believing weird things. Monotheistic religions present homosexuality as criminal (sin) and harmfull to people. If their followers don't step back and ask themselves "Wait a minute, how is it harmfull?", they end up believing what they were told.The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame.
