____Friendships are among the top priorities for people these days, and some of those people hide their deepest darkest secrets from their 'best-friends' because they're afraid of persecution and loss of those friends. One's enviroment determines, for the most part, how that person thinks of a subject, how they believe things should be done and how people should be; everyone is different in the mind. Everyone thinks differently due to their uniqueness and individuality, however, physically those people are the same - flesh and blood. Sexuality plays a very large role in today's society and many people don't understand the true concept of a different sexuality.
____Can you tell someone who and who not to like? You can, however, the chances of them listening and obeying are low. It is a mental concept in one's head: sexuality. You can train yourself not to like someone or something, it does not mean you are not attracted to them. If homosexuality was the 'right' thing and the heterosexuals are in the tight spot homosexuals are in today, the heterosexuals would be persecuted just the same; would be fighting the system just the same, it is the same concept. No matter what they masses say these indifferent people will still remain and still be the same people. It is time we accept these people for who they are, they're human and equal to us no matter what they believe or who they are attracted to.
____ We've come far in our social evolution, but we are creating a legal morass by not dealing justly and humanely with the issue of marriage. Are we going to do the same thing on homosexual rights that we are doing on the death penalty? Nearly every decent democracy in the world has abolished capitol punishment, and those that haven't won't consider it for the insane, the developmentally disabled, the children; we, on the other hand, stand with some pretty nasty company in our cavalier approach to life and death. Is this going to be the same thing?
