Heterosexuals are tone deaf and have a mental block when it comes to human rights issues. This is well documented and evident. Take torture and abuse issues currently in the news, here and around the world. The human race – mainly made up of heterosexuals, is a frighteningly scary place for all of us. I understand (as they seem not to) they are the source of many of man kinds problems. The heterosexual people are unable to work out the worlds problems, and the problems are getting worst with every new generation. The heterosexuals, are self righteous – prophesizing body of people. In their defense, some one has to be – they are that group. Self appointing jurisdiction reigning law and order. Law is meaningless without order.

I personally regard the heterosexual race is in dire straits. There seems to be a identity crisis here. Should any one here care to do some reading: you will find ‘Susan Faludi Stiffed – The Betrayal of the American Man’ © 1999, uncanny investigative reporting.

I like the heterosexuals. I deeply understand what they are going through – in this mad world: they are the losers. If the heterosexuals can’t get it together: there is little hope for the rest of us.

Yes, Kari…I suppose you have some dumbsh*t bumper-sticker on your car which reads: “America, Love or Leave It” next to another one which reads: “My Country, Right or Wrong!”

===========================

Kari Said:

“It’s quite obvious you just want to feel big and important by bashing the US, especially since the bashing isn’t even legit.”

=============================

Get over yourself, Kari. Sorry, I’m not a bootlicker like you. And I’m sure that it offends you when people call it like it is.

America is a fascist country. A morally backwards, socially diseased, bigoted, hatefilled, “ignorance worshipping”, violent, hypocritical, heartless, profiteering, poor excuse for a quasi-civilized country.

Did I miss anything?

…I stand by my statement.

That’s over a BILLION PEOPLE, 17% of the world’s population, on the road to a happier, less cruel and closeted life. This is the first step on a very rapid road to social acceptance.

Oh and regarding the religious leaders, perhaps they should address the mass infanticide and abortion of unwanted female babies and the murder by immolation of thousands of young wives by their in-laws every year, not to mention the abomination of the caste system.

Peter: Having laws against things makes those things attract social stigma.

Colonialist Western influence either imposed laws against homosexuality or spurred states to adopt them. Even now, states that have long histories of homosexuality being socially accepted now treat it as taboo. (Japan is an excellent example.)

It’s ironic that people would claim that the gay rights movement is an attempt by the West to dilute their culture… When gay acceptance was the norm before the West came in the first place.

Many other former British colonies still have criminal statutes against homosexual activity, imposed by the Colonial Office in Victorian times. Perhaps the Delhi High Court’s decision may eventually inspire places like Jamaica to recognize that their prosecution (i.e. legalized persecution) of gay people is a nasty remnant of 19th-century imperialism that should have no place in the 21st century.

Steve,

Fred wrote homophobiac rant about how gays “should be raped and then shot in the head.”
