I have stayed out of this debate until now, but this needs a response. First
off, have you been living in a cave?? I am serious, didn't you ever study
history?
Homosexuality has been around since the beginning of man. If it wasn't, why
was there a need to mention it in the bible (not that I belive in the it)?
The Greeks were certainly knowledgable of it, in fact embraced it.
Alexander the Great's army consisted exclusively of pairs of homosexual lovers
(including Alexander's lover Hadrian).
I could cite other examples, but these should get the point across.
Homosexuality has always been with us. In fact, it is only in this century
that it has been shunned by the so-called "christians".

They use god as a crutch to base their fears and ignorance.

Because they don't have a choice. Living a so-called "normal" life for a
homosexual is totally abnormal. It is a falsehood to the homosexual and to
everyone that homosexual knows, meets, marries, etc. Do you realize that the
highest rate of teenage suicide is teenage homosexuals trying to adopt a
"normal" life and not fitting in? Not knowing what to do? Fear of being
disowned by their parents, friends and everyone they love. Fearing for their
own uncertain future as a homosexual because of the rampant discrimination they
see from their familys and others around them towards homosexuals.
