The following is just one person's silly opinion. No rea
~Plus I was none to happy with there homophbic attitude.
This is arguably a LEARNED response. Time and place of birth/residency are factors.
Pre Judeo-Christian "morality" the boundaries and pigeon-hole categories were not as distinct, if they existed at all.
In ancient Greece a true man was EXPECTED to have a wife AND a young man lover. It was believed that same-gender love was more intense and more intuitive. One really KNEW what the other wanted and needed. M-F was considered necessary but not all that intense. Anyhoo in exchange for the young man's affection and love you were expected to be his mentor/guide/tutor. They say this is how the culture became grand--so much was passed on the next generation. Not a lot was left...er-- uh--sweat-- behind.
Please don't shoot the messenger, I understand this will rock your world. Open your mind. See past your training. I don't make this stuff up.
Bottom line is gays will probably always be a minorty and always disrepected to some degree. I never understood my mother's fierce dislike of the whole situation. Think about this. In an all-male hermetically-sealed female-free "world" a woman is "robbed" of her being and purposes. EUREKA! Once again she, like perhaps so many others, resents my freedom from convention and my self-sufficiency. I dont' need the other gender through which to attmept to be "whole". It is all already within.
Astrologically speakng, Virgo is female, Scorpio is male and Libra is marriage (right betweet them) attempting to make whole beings our of halves. [It ain't working so well anymore.]
And I'll say this: if you beleive procreative physical activities are the only valid ones, there is a whole realm of things you (yes you, right now STOP THAT!) should not be doing *WINK*
What do cemedians say? No man is 100% straight. When you watch porn you see another man's winky. Gay men, however, don't ever have to look at the Fertile Crescent between the Euphrates and the Nile.
