If you were hated so much, wouldn’t that generally inspire you to have fewer intimate partners and whatnot? Because you don’t know who to trust all that much?
Excellent point. As society has become exponentially more accepting, the behavior and its consequences have become worse.
If we would but examine the timeline of events and consequences, we'd see the positive relationship of acceptance of homosexual behavior and the explosion of the maladies related to it. in the late 60's, homosexuality was universally condemned, by science, religion and law. After "science" caved purely by years of political pressure in 1973, it was only a few short years before AIDS made its appearance as one of the worst epidemics in the country, almost exclusively in the newly emboldened homosexual population, as well as the collateral damage caused through blood transfusions.
When homosexual sodomy was universally "decriminalized" by an error-ridden supreme court in 2003, it didn't "get better," but worse. Now, the youngest age brackets (as young as 15!) were increasingly contracting HIV/AIDS at a rate surpassing other groups. Yes, "gay rights" has attacked our children in the most vicious manner in this regard.
Before "gay rights" became such a politically front-and-center issue, homosexuals lived much healthier, longer lives. We were doing something right back then, as the South is still somewhat doing.
