In my opinion in the world of today (which includes the presence of nuclear weapons and a rather large environmental problem) we simply cannot afford anymore that kind of xenophobia. In a world where homosexuals are discriminated against, they surely are not the only minority that is being discriminated against. Therefore, advancing the acceptance of homosexuality is an important task that gay people have and it fits very well into the bigger scheme of saving the world. Nowadays we either live together in one world or we will have no world at all.. |
Chris, there are moral, religious, philisophical and spiritual arguments against homosexuality simply equating any sort of opposition to the practice as xenophobia is unfair. You may not agree with them, but they aren't just 'hate driven' ....in order to 'advance acceptance' some of groups have been resorting to some pretty intolerant tactics themselves ....and yes, so does the 'other side' .
