I find it asthetically unpleasing, heterosexual or homosexual, at this point
in my life. But, I prefer not to be examined to death because of my opinion
in this forum.
To quench the apparent curiosity, there has been no experience of mine,
firsthand or secondhand, which has led to my conclusions.

Understood.

While that can be considered morally a gray area (by pretty much all), I
haven't examined it and don't necessarily want to further discuss this
subject in that graphic detail. Yes, my religion dictates against
homosexuality, and I subscribe to that particular belief. My religion also
sees that as a moral issue, and I subscribe to that belief as well.
Note that my religion (for the curious, Evangelical Christianity) does not
dictate against the homosexual *person* but the act of homosexuality.
Therefore, I have friendships with homosexuals, despite my disagreement and
disgust towards what they practice.

Hehe :-) Understood again.
