see BOSTONBASIN what you say leads you down a rabbit hole. You say a lifestyle that offers nothing to society but a sterile self indulgence. Which is code for you can't have children pass on your genes etc.
Then what about sterile men? people in the clergy with celibacy vows, a woman who lost her uterus to cancer? If the only thing we offered to society were our offspring there wouldn't be much of it would there?
I disagree on that statement, its pretty shallow and not well thought out, the most famous people are famous for deeds not chilrden. George Washington Carver for Peanut Butter, Armstrong for walking on the moon, Da Vinci for his works etc. to say that they can only be classified as great people because who they sleep with at night at the end of the day day is quite a strange viewpoint.
It seems fine to teach young children about homosexuality, just like we teach children about racial diversity. No homosexual is worried about confusing a child since first of all we are talking about something like 1 or 2 lessons a year vs a whole other multitude showing the normal male-female dynamic. Secondly and more importantly its not a choice, it is biological and thus telling a young straight child about it does no more than telling young white children about chinese boys and girls it wont make them chinese. In the same way it wont make them gay, just understanding and tolerant of gay people. Like we are of left handed people, or people with blue eyes.
Finally, a hint, when someone starts a sentence by saying "I pass no moral judgement..." it usually has it coming, especially when its the person who started the post basically passing pubic judgement. Then to have the line "A lifestyle that offers nothing to society but a sterile self indulgence..." Isn't that to some degree passing judgement? why don't you just man up and say you are passing judgement because you rhetoric is quite clear.
I pass judgement on you as a close minded african american who has never probably seen more than a handful of homosexuals and at the same time when you look down on us with denigration and righteousness you indignantly look up at the man and wonder why he looks down on you. And in that moment when the sun should reflect a beam of light on you and you should see the vicious circle of hate and ignorance you are in... You turn away daft to your eureka moment and continue to look down on your fellow man.
