I'd like to see the opinion of the philosophers in this forum, RJT and Lira.
I personally see the gay issue similar at what was happening in America 40 years or so with civil rights. Back in the 50's it was pretty much a standard thing in the south to hate or at least see blacks as inferiors. While this mentality may not have changed for the people that lived during that era, I believe the new generations have seen why racism was wrong. Will we be the old generation ? Will our grandchildren say "my grandpa was a homophobic; that is such an obsolete mentality?"
Weren't most Greek males gay? the same civilization that influenced the West so much. It has influenced rhetoric, philosophy, architecture, DEMOCRACY among others.
Although I do not have a dog, I've head there are gay dogs. So being homosexual is not particular of the human race, but also of other animals. While some may not accept we are animals, lets face it we are. Perhaps "intelligent animals", but animals nonetheless.
about the Internet Serious Business message:
While it may be appropriate when arguing silly things, I believe this is a serious intellectual and enriching thread, so long as the participants can handle it. Once the thread is full of personal flames, and not about intellectual discussion I can see the sign as being fitting
