Thank you for your kind response. Last time I tried to ask questions here I was punished by many lol.... I know I am too curious for my own good.

It's happened to me too. There are those here who believe that merely asking a question is equivalent to taking one side or the other. And that sucks - nobody should be given a hard time for asking an honest question, regardless of who believes what. Incidentally, the question you asked earlier has occured to me too - my theory is that it would probably would make little difference in people's attitudes - this is one subject that people have a difficult time changing their personal defaults about - in either direction.

Yours is a very good question because it goes to the heart of whether society is better served by accomodation or by modification and the behaviorial sciences is far from consensus on that point about things which are already under society's control; even the ways in which drug addicts and alcoholics are treated or avoided, medicated or incarcerated, the blind or the deaf refusing restorative therapy versus the allowance of them continuing their version of normal has even brought debate at high levels.

Those at the forefront of the gay movement want acceptance, accomodation and validation all and can't afford to go back for fear of alienation by the members of their "support" groups.
