Reply #12: Why Is It Creepy? [View All]

[iamjoy]

The way I see it, homosexuals are just like every one else. They have parents they love or hate or both in turn. They work hard, they pay taxes and maybe even grumble about it. Some support the war in Iraq, some oppose it. They worry about how to pay their rent/mortgage. They may have kids from the time they were trying to deny the truth about themselves. If so, they worry about raising good citizens and maybe paying for college. Many believe in God and try to live by the spirit of God's word - the love part.

They have hobbies and interests and things they dislike.

So, if they have a Gay Pride March in which they simulate sex acts, what are they showing? That homosexuals are just like everyone else? For some odd reason, Americans are strangely uncomfortable with sexuality, homophobia is only part of it. Why highlight the "differences" that make people uncomfortable rather than the ways we're all the same?
