Yo! I am new here

Actually we are now in general accepting it again when you look at society and laws ect. Not everyone does but the general view is that is accepted. It's alot better in the UK than the USA at the moment but laws are changing.

How I wish you were right! It's true that in the the more industrialized countries homosexuality is accepted in a general way. However, only 25% of the world's countries are industrialized. The other 75% are poor countries in which religion and tradition are still very important and homosexuality is seen as a bad thing. Even in many areas of the USA homosexuality is still perceived as a terrible sin, and people hate gays. You live in the UK and things are certainly much better there, they're also much better here in Portugal than they were some years ago but unfortunately that's not the reality in most of the world.

Exactly I have a problem with the whole 'God wants us to have kids' kind of statements... What about people born infertile? Are they no longer a valid part of society? Humans have more use than to recreate. That totally ignores all the other skills we have that make us stand out compared to other animals... Damn this IS getting stimulating isnt it lol!

Well, actually, we do have in us a biological instinct to procreate, as have all animals. However, even animals who live basically to eat, sleep and procriate display homosexual behaviour. Ultimately they'll mate with an animal of the opposite sex in order to perpetuate their gene pool but they also try mating with animals of the same sex. It's the same thing with us humans, the only difference being that we can choose not to have children, we can overcome our instinct. So yeah, saying that "God wants us to have children" is absurd because then why would we have the ability to choose not to have them?
