I understand, but consider: if the sexual orientation were pedophilia, would it be just to penalize it? Of course it would, due to palpable harm. Now, even granting the comparative harmless of homosexuality, there is a social- impact issue, or rather several issues. For one thing, at a time when the origins of homosexuality are still in dispute, it jumps the gun in saying that it is a fixed condition, and therefore lowers the standards according to which claims that one couldn't help oneself may be forwarded. Thus, it weakens sexual mores that are already pretty weak. For another, the declaration of war on the religious would make todays politics look like a picnic........
