Discrimination Against Gays

Stephen Fry says that what one does with one's own bottom is entirely one's own business.

I don't completely agree with him. For sure I don't want the morality police busting into people's homes in the middle of the night to try and catch two homosexual males engaged in anal sex or oral sex, or any other kind of consentual sex for that matter.

But on a societal basis we need to recognize that assholes are made for defecation. When you insert a hard penis into a rectum it is many times stretched sufficiently that blood vessels break
, making the transmission of diseases like HIV-AIDS far easier. Rectums were designed for waste elimination, not for sexual pleasure.
-
Pussies are what the Good Lord made for inserting a stiff penis into. The male-female sex act generally is pleasurable to both parties. At times it can result in the later birth of a child, and thus in the perpetuation of the species. Which is rather important from a societal point of view.
-
Now lets be honest. Most men who have ever been married realize just how difficult is to stay married to a woman (read bitch) and thus stick around to help raise the kids (read perpetuate the species). And most women will certainly attest to what assholes (read bastards) men generally are, and how difficult it is to live with them over the long term.

This is why society has evolved various incentives to help encourage male-female marriage, having kids, and then raising the kids well. The high rate of divorce is proof of just how hard male-female marriage is.

On a societal basis there is no justification for providing incentives to gay marriage. It really is OK if two women want to be together and have sex with each other. If two men do so in a "safe" way which does not help sexually transmit diseases that should be entirely their own business. I have no problem with two people of the same sex being very close friends, even loving each other, and if they so choose even to provide each other with sexual pleasure.
-
But there is no reason why society would want to give them tax break for doing so. Or to allow the "spouse" to receive the social security pension of his partner after death.
-
Children generally are most likely to thrive mentally and physically when both the father and the mother are around as role models during the child rearing process. In my view it generally is not in society's best interests or the kid's best interests for two people of the same sex to be allowed to adopt a baby. Maybe sometimes...I have an open mind on the matter. But not in most cases.

So it really is alright if Gene Robinson is a queer. Honest. But to say that his homosexual orientation is entirely healthy and that he should be looked up to as as role model will be harmful to both society and human nature over the long run. It is OK for him to be a member of the Episcopal church. Episcopalians are generally progressive thinkers, and there are ex-murderers, thieves, and child rapists in our congregations. But to put this guy into a position of authority, and then to hold him up as a role model to the youth of America is just plain stupid and out of touch with reality.
