Susie,
It is about destroying that which is not them. Religious peoples have generally been tolerant. There has never been rampant violent against homosexuals in this country. There is no evidence of rampant discrimination in employment either. It is all a trumped up game and the cost has been huge in the number of lives broken and thousands ended in disease. Young men especially suffer a huge cost when they come out at young ages which increases the chances they will contract AIDs and other horrible diseases like Syphilis and Hepatitis but it isn’t nice to talk about those things.
During the Roman and Greek times when homosexuality was rampant in the pagan societies, it was common for the elites to take young boys under their wing and use them in their little orgies. They trained them in the art of homosexuality. It is learned.
Homosexuality is about hedonistic pleasure....never love. All sorts of sexual perversions were practiced....even burning babies on altars. Women were also used in the orgies but were always second class citizens at most. Homosexuality is about self idolatry and always harms societies because it is never about self sacrifice....what raising healthy children and having lasting relationships demands.
