Seriously, who cares about what people do in their bedrooms?

According to some estimations one in every ten people are homosexual. If that figure is true then there are probably some closet homosexuals on Stirpes too--just ask yourself who the insecure ones are. It's sad when people have to belittle and oppress people of different sexualities because they get some peverse sense of machoness from it. Reminds me of the jocks back in school who would call people 'fag' and 'queer' and then nakedly hug and do other close male bonding in the showers after rugby training. Pathetic.

The causes of homosexuality are obviously highly complex and not entirely understood. Some theories suggest it's a genetic condition, others that it's more a psychological one. Therefore, if we can't fully begin to comprehend the reason it happens why the Hell should it be made criminal? Certanly outlawing it in the past has had little effect. Even Islamic countries where strict Sharia law makes it an offense punishable by death there are incidences of homosexuality.

Homosexuals should have just as many liberities as heterosexual ones. If that means things like gay pride parades once every year then so be it, I won't be marching with them, but I have no problem with it. They aren't harming anyone, and more often than not have a higher IQ than straight people, especially homophobes.

Last time I checked we were living in the 21st century, not the middle ages. We no longer have to burn witches and homosexuals at the stake to feel better about ourselves.
