Everything can be flip flopped though.
When the law was passed saying YES you can discriminate in the job based on sexual orination then yes my old boss a christian fired a bi sexual man who worked with us.
Course then a whole rush of hetrosexuals got laid off from a job there in town owned by a homosexual women who promply hired our old co worker.
So the law more or sell backfired far more hetrosexuals got fired overall than did homosexuals.
I think its wonderfull you all dont want to compramize your belifes just to accomidate that 3 % of the population.
But as you can see they dont want to compramise thier either and just because its a smaller number of people dosnt make them less important.
We cant really point out one or two biggoted people and say they are the face of that religian or group of people.
We dont know what may have turned them so bitter in the first place but i'm sure they wernt born that way.
After all I didnt start out in life with a near raveing hatred of anyone.
But hey you know after getting knocked around one to many times it developed.
BTW tradition sometimes is very very bad.
Take the cleaners in africa for instance in some parts the population is at 1 in 4 people have HIV or AIDs there and most of it is due to this tradition or custom.
Marriage is as much a custom or tradition as other things.
Back when the idea of marriage for life was thought up it was a great idea.
Course the average life span for a human was also about 30 years.
Now a days its differant instyead of haveing those few short years of marriage and then dieing.
We now have a few short years of marriage , divorce, and remarriage.
I still perfer my religians customs on marriage.
It has to be renewed every year if not then the partners part ways peacefully...and yes peacefully is quite written in.
I dont know that acceptance of homosexuality caused the downfale of any culture.
Arrogence sure has though for some reason the big dogs always seem to think that theres not another big stronger dog out there waiting to take his place.
its a mistake that as proven itself to be the downfall of civilizations time and time again.
