<I actually do feel sorry for gays, is that bad? After all I do think they have a problem that has ruined their lives and it's sad to see. > I think you just can't see something so obvious. The ruination of a gay life is your attitude, commonly shared. (Don't bother to say irresponsible, unhealthful practices ruin it, please, the reply to that is boringly obvious and has been discussed here.) Surely you comprehend that there is more than one way to have a happy and fulfilling life? Friends? Meaningful work? Joy? Sexual joy? Here's a paragraph from a novel that i remembered when I read your ironical expression of pity for the victims of your intolerance: He came out of his stasis saying something about what an abyss it must be to be homosexual in a society whose every gesture of law and culture makes you feel unclean. It was a form of crucifixion. He himself couldn't imagine anything more perverted than being forced to act against your sexual orientation. It's true. It's appropriate to feel sorry for people being crucified in this way. Why don't you stop? I don't understand what it is to you what other people do with their genitals.
