Homosexuality is not about beliefs... it's about behavior. Behavior which is a manifestation of mental disorder.
No upside, not for the afflicted or those in anyway affiliated with such.
Dear Where_r_my_Keys and orogenicman
Again, I repeat, the reason I focus on BELIEFS and not on homosexuality itself,
is that nothing has been PROVEN about homosexuality,
NOR covers 100% of the cases to where ALL people AGREE.
In the meantime, UNTIL and UNLESS it is proven to be one way or another,
these beliefs and perceptions remains FAITH BASED. They are NOT PROVEN.
Thus, the fairest way I know to treat all people equally is to focus on
each person's BELIEFS about homosexuality and NOT judge.
If one person focuses on BEHAVIOR and CHOICE,
and another on orientation as part of a SPIRITUAL process,
then we can still be treated equally under law -- by weighing all these BELIEFS as equally FAITH BASED.
NONE of these approaches are proven to fully explain ALL cases or be the ONLY way for people.
The choice to believe or CHANGE beliefs must remain FREE CHOICE.
If we freely CHOOSE and reach agreement on either evidence of spiritual change or genetic causes
related to homosexuality, it will not be because of insulting or infighting, backstabbing or coercion by
political bullying but because of mutual respect we have for the truth, and what each of us has to contribute.
