While I certainly agree, I'm not sure the point of outlawing homosexuality is to remove it entirely.
From my perspective, outlawing homosexuality conveys a clear message and that is that homosexuality is not acceptable in the public domain. Making it inhospitable for homosexuals ensures that their demented antics remain out of the public eye and, in my opinion, would do a great deal to diminish it as a public issue.
I am of the mind that even a position of indifference, when it comes to homosexuality, is a position of tolerance of homosexuality. I think if we take such an apathetic approach to homosexuals, then there will always be room for such things as 'gay pride' parades, homosexual communities, and things of that nature.
