[ Certainly, i have no right to say that another person can't think that homosexuality is wrong, any more than I can enjoin someone from disliking blacks or asians. What I feel I can do is hold people to having a rational explanation for their opinions. And "It's immoral." isn't an explanation, it's an evasion... one that lots of people happily spout off. I haven't yet heard a convincing argument against homosexuality that doesn't amount, essentially, to "Ewwwww!" and I don't really expect to. Maybe it'll happen. Until then, it's just hate, bred of ignorance and intellectual rigidity, and that's something I have no compunction opposing. -k]
