Strike "homosexuals" and insert "child molesters" or "arab terrorists" or even "burglars" in your comment "...I do not care about their way of living as long as they do not affect my own sphere."
Here's the deal: you either make moral choices and judgments in your own life, or you don't.
Europeans have long demonstrated that they don't:
I don't think the unimpeded rise of Nazism and the accompanying anti-Semitism was just some anomalous case.
Oh we do make our moral choices. I simply see no sense to force my kids into a public soul striptease for the emotional auto erotic of some "concerned" groups. That is a issue the family and not the church, society or whatever.
Anti-Semitism thrived in Europe long before the NAZIs came to power. And it remains.
Today it is a popular passtime among the left.

America had slavery, genocide against the Indians, lynch mobs against blacks, and legally-enforced racial segregation until the 1960s. When one lives in a glass house, it is best to not throw stones. There is not a noticeably more moral history on either side of the Atlantic.
Redbob,
Not trying to incite your ire here, but there are severe differences between what a homosexual does and what an "Arab terrorist," "child molester," and a "burglar" do.
Generally, unless the homosexual is a rapist, what he does is with a consenting adult, a child does not consent to being molested, a homeowner does not consent to being robbed and the victims of a terrorist do not consent to be being, well, terrorized. While I am largely indifferent to what homosexuals do in the privacy of their own homes with other consenting adults, I am not oblivious to what burglars, terrorists or child molesters do because their actions involve a nonconsensual victim.
Best regards,
P.M.
