On Homossexualism

Until 1973, homosexuality was recognized as a disorder. After 1973 the matter became political and no longer scientific, so scientific argument was compromised entirely and I won't even go into that. Homossexuality was (and sometimes still is) regarded as a deviation of the natural norm. Frankly, it is isn't it? If we take away all the propaganda and all the moral onus that's associated with the issue, everyone KNOWS it is not the natural norm to be homossexual just as it isn't normal to be a paedophilic (distinctive clinical causes notwithstanding). That having been said, I personally feel that, unlike paedophelia, pursuing homossexuality is an issue of individual conscience insofar as it affects adult individuals who decide about their lives "conscientiously". No one has a right to PERSECUTE homossexuals socially just as no one has a right to IMPOSE homossexuality on Society or any subgroup thereof. This should NEVER have become a legal issue. I believe it did solely on account of interested parties. It is indeed hard to be a homossexual. I've homossexual friends who accept their inclinations and those who don't. Of those that accept them, some act upon them and others refrain. They all have a hard time dealing with the reprecursions of their choices. That I may have friends with different lifestyles, beliefs and divergeant sexual orientation does not mean that I agree with them on all their choices. I may like the person, respect their choices and still disagree. Likewise, disagreeing with any stranger about their choices does not immediately mean that I nurture any resentment toward them. Is that such a difficult concept to understand?
