Dear Myles:

Notice how people’s judgments affect even you, being the rational, intelligent, insightful person that you are: you wrote in the last sentence, “these people… are doing things FAR worse than being gay”-

as if “being gay” is bad and there are things that are “worse”-

We can’t help, as humans, we can’t help being affected by what people think. We all want to be liked, we all don’t want to be disliked. It is something we are born with, I believe, as the social animals that we are.

A sexual orientation is neither good or bad, as I see it. There is no moral or ethical element to it. It just is. But we live in a world where a whole lot of people do see a moral element to it, with a whole lot of history to it, the bible is evidence to it.

There is no point in arguing with people’s likes and dislikes, but we can do  our best, as individuals, to insert rational thinking into our lives and express it to others best we can.
