There may be no point in trying reason with someone like yourself
but you've got the problems all wrong.
The homosexual "issue" revolves around several problems. One
being the tendency of too many young people who find they are
homosexual or have trouble with their sexual identity to commit
suicide in their teen years. Acceptance of differences is essential
to prevent this tragedy. How much do you really know about
anyone else's sexuality. It's a complex issue. Many teens who
ultimately find they are heterosexual try to commit suicide during
the years of uncertainty because there is such a taboo and so
much harassment in the high school years of those who appear to
be in any way "different."
In later years the problems have to do with discrimination in jobs
and housing. I think that all most homosexuals want is the same
rights other people have but in today's political arena, these issues
must be presented as a "special interest" to have a voice and be
heard.
I have never heard anyone "promote" homosexuality as a lifestyle
better or superior to the mainstream. Yet it does require
acceptance in a democracy or in any pluralistic society. Do you
really want the government watching you in your bedroom? Who
knows what you do that the government might find unacceptable.
Homosexuals are a very small percentage of the total population, in
spite of the practices having been around since the beginning of
time. Do you really think everyone would be homosexual if it wasn't
forbidden?
The churches are so powerful both politically and financially,. that
they seem to be able to take care of themselves quite nicely, thank
you. If they are "dying" it is because what they are offering their
congregations and the public is not really helpful or consonant with
the times we live in and people are not finding them relevant to their
lives. Perhaps it is time for some new traditions and concepts that
really help people negotiate the times in which they find
themselves. Morality and ethics need not be irrevocably tied to
religious beliefs--unless you view humans as inherently savage and
in need of stern controls....in which case you do not believe in
democracy.
