It is not a technical issue Nick. It is a moral issue. That's the same as the concept of decency which means that people don't walk around naked in the street... You could do it and you wouldn't technically harm anyone but it's deemed immoral.

I personally think that there is nothing wrong with being homosexual as this would be something out of a person's control. Having homosexual relations is another matter altogether.

The Westboro Baptist church is freaking intolerant. They need to chill out a little bit. Try and spread their message through ''nicer'' means rather than accusing everyone and making judgement calls.

Modern-day bigots like the Westboro Baptist Church advocate the persecution of gay people and blame them for the deaths of US soldiers. Christian homophobia seems to have ancient roots: the bible recommends punishing homosexuals with death, and Jesus (or St Paul) said gays couldn't enter heaven. Why were the ancient Jews and early Christians so hostile to gay people and fornicators? Was it out of desire to increase the population, or because premarital sex was thought to spread disease?
