It may interest you to know that homosexuality wasnt always denounced. It was very prevalent in Asia, early Roman and Greek society (and Arab too, Id venture to say....) At any rate it wasnt unheard of, and it certainly wasnt vilified the way it is now. Only in America is homosexuality "evil" Mostly because America was founded by religious fanatics. The Bible was tampered with at the Fifth Ecumenical Council, under the auspices of Constantine, who (after Paul) basically created the modern day Christian Church. In that moment in time, the Christian Religion lost the majority of what made it special, ie: a TOLERANCE of one's fellow man.
