Thread Name: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
In reality I am sure there are many homosexuals who are deeply unhappy with their sexuality, male and female. I know I have met quite a few. But I never actually heard one deny being gay. What they hate about their sexuality is all the hate and upset that they suffer struggling with being gay because of what is dished out to them or what they fear if they 'come out'. The discrimination, the rejection, the shear hate, the loss of family and friends in some instances, etc tec.

Yes, of course some try to live a 'straight life'. Some actually make a success of it. Some live terrible lies in marraiges and their partners too as a consequence. Some commit suicide. Some will never know happiness. And most of this agony is inflicted by a few people in society who would not give them breath if they could help it. A great many of those dissenters are actually gay themselves, sadly, and try to turn on their own in denial and hate. Why?

Because being gay, while easier in some countries than it used to be, is still not easy generally. There is always someone with a pointed look or glance, a comment, a thump or worse... just because you happen to be gay.

The question still outstanding on this thread by those who see homosexuality as a choice is this. If being gay is such an easy choice, why do so many men and women choose to be in such tremendous pressure ovens when all they need to do is love the opposite gender?

I suspect the mass on this thread know the answer, and in society generally nowadays, which can only be a great step forward
