What does has a inherited creed have to do with a sexual preference? Or a religious upbringing, or an impairment? I don't like it when people compare the struggles of homosexuals, to the racial and religious struggles many have had to endure. It's far from the same IMHO.
Being beat because of a uncontrollable factor of race cannot be compared to a sexual preference. Nor can it be compared to a religious group who was slaughtered for their religious upbringing. Homosexuality doesn't come close to even a unforeseen impairment that one has no control over.
Sex can be controlled (having sex). If sexual relations with the same sex is bred, why then can people choose to practice celibacy? That's no sex at all, even if you may desire the same gender. There are no comparisons in my honest opinion.
It's an insult to compare a sexual preference to race, religion, or disability. Why? If homosexuality was bred, even then they could choose to be chaste. That way avoiding all scrutiny. Now someone born black, cannot just choose to take off his skin color and choose another -like a different coat. If, some group of people decided to hang them just because of their skin color.
If homosexuality was a religion, yes gays have been bashed before. But never has the gay community ever endured attempted utter annihilation at the hands of extremists practicing genocide.
And, some one who is a homosexual and is not impaired. They can walk, run, see, hear and play just like the rest of us. I see no comparison here -I'm sorry.
