you call being gay...negative and deviantA culture of anti gay bigotry, thats whatWhat is it with these peoples. Is being honest about what you believe really so difficult?
We live in a culture that praises homosexuality
That’s not true either. Honesty is praised. Being open and true to who you really are is praised. Homosexuality isn’t being praised, it’s being accepted.
Those who remain closeted and hide their true selves are unhappy, frightened and hard on everyone around them. I think of what my brother-in-law went through when his wife revealed her affair with another woman after 17 years of marriage. He moved out and his wife’s girlfriend moved in. Their two teenage sons’ lives were completely up-ended.
Sexual orientation issues are the single biggest reason for teen suicides. If society in general was more accepting of gays, that rate would go down.
It's not the dishonesty about it that is driving the suicide rate. The rare is just as hide in societies that are fine with homosexuality. And its just as high with open and honest homosexuals.
The issue is the mental illness along with it. You cant do wrong and feel good about it. And if you engage is negative and deviant behavior long enough it effects your mental health
thats your problem, not society's and it answers your original question succinctly
Homosexual behavior is negative and deviant.
Healthy behavior doesn't lead to suicide.
