I agree with this sentiment, yet I also believe that love is of paramount importance in this world; in whatever form it takes. I also believe that being gay is not a 'choice' - it's how you're born. Denying someone's humanity and the subsequent shelters and benefits that het married people get based on who someone sleeps with is also immoral to me.
The immorality that I see on a daily basis has more to do with greed, intolerance and judging others than love, and more love & understanding needs to be cultivated in this world. Inclusion and tolerance are great things. Throw a bunch of love in the mix and there's some real power.
Personally I think the stuff written in holy texts condemning homosexuality has more to do with gays not producing children who then grow up to become more church members than anything else. Kinda like religious texts prohibiting eating pork - back then pork was very dirty and many people who ate it got sick - so they outlawed it. America was founded by religious zealots who left England so they could be *more* religious after all, and the legacy that has left us with is a severe problem. Janet Jackson pops a nip during the superbowl and the entire nation freaks out, yet no one mentions the big tittie models in the beer commercials or the constant ads for viagra. Hypocrites we...
