"The homosexuals want their lifestyle accepted by Christianity or Islam, regardless of the firmly held beliefs of the followers of these religions."

Not so.

Most gays that I'm acquainted with (about 8% to 10% of the people I know, which, according to Alfred Kinsey, is the general demographic of the whole human race) don't give a billy hoot whether their lifestyle is accepted by certain Christian churches or not. I specify "certain Christian churches" because some Christian churches accept anyone who wishes to participate in the spiritual life of the church regardless of their sexual orientation--or practice. EXAMPLE, just nine blocks south of where I live. And HERE is where they spell it out specifically. And there are quite a number of other Christian churches all over the country that are signatories to that same "Affirmation of Welcome."

Was your post "irrational," Ake? Well, it was most certainly inaccurate.
