Interesting post. Off topic: Tell me, is there any difference in your faith between homosexuality and any other form of non-procreative sex? Do you believe that the government should be involved in prohibiting all non-procreative sex?

Tell me, is there any difference in your faith between homosexuality and any other form of non-procreative sex? Do you believe that the government should be involved in prohibiting all non-procreative sex?

In the Manu Samhita, the original law book of the Vedas, (the "Hindu" scriptures), homosexuality is severely condemned - I believe the traditional punishment was death. Adultery was also condemned but not as severely. I don't suspect that many traditional Hindus expect the Manu Samhita to be enacted as law at this point in time!

But my beliefs - as well as universal morality - convince me that homosexual behavior should be against the law - not that cops should knock down doors (not a reference to the recent decision, that was a setup), but it should not be tolerated in public, promoted, be taught in schools, or given special consideration. It should go back to the closet.
