Anti-Gay Concentration Camps

The Evangelicals of the Conservatism embarrass those of us who are just "casual" Conservatives. I believe in low spending and taxes, but I'm very much okay with any social practice that doesn't put any other person at risk. Smoking marijuana? Sure. Prostitution? I'm okay with that, so long as the "professional" involved is working voluntarily (I do believe there are legal brothels in the state of Nevada, which are well-regulated and checked consistently for infections--no pimps or brutality involved). It's no different with homosexuality. I'm not going to worry about what my gay neighbors do in the middle of the night while there is rampant violence in the Middle East, violence which is spreading to other portions of the world.

Homosexuality is such a trivial fucking issue. We need to start judging people based on their character, and not on who they find themselves attracted to. The issue stems, I hate to say it, mostly from religion, from what I've seen, and the people who interpret their religious doctrines literally (note that I'm not singling out Christianity here).

There are gay animals around, dolphins and elephants and others. Some Native American tribes would encourage homosexuals to dress as women if they so desired--as an act of tolerance and acceptance. Why can't we accept it ourselves and move on?
