I think pursuit of more encouraging more moral people would be treating the disease and not just the symptoms. Well said...

Thanks for the discussion from my side too. Another point I find offensive (and I would think you would too!) is how the "gay rights" activists are trying to get credit on the coat tails of the legitimate civil rights issue of black people. I noticed on your info page that you are black. Being born black, or Asian or any race or ethnicity is a neutral, unchangeable reality. No one has ever changed their race or their ethnicity. But there are thousands of ex-homosexuals, and also people who decided to become or act "gay". So homosexuality is a certain type of activity, it is not in any way similar to a racial identity. It is a group identity only in that it involves certain actions, which are notoriously unhealthy, conisdered immoral since time immemorial, destructive to young people, etc. How can this compare to being born black, which is not a choice, and is completely benign or neutral?
To me, this is really trying to take advantage of the legitimate struggle and pain that black people have undergone and suffered throughout the years.
