Is it wrong to be gay?

[Reincarnate]

There are many forms of attraction -- heterosexuality, homosexuality, pedophilia, and hell, even zoophilia -- but some are more condemned than others because they are less frequent (or they simply step on more toes, morally speaking).

We see things as "right" when they help society in some way -- some form of providing value to others. "Wrong" is usually seen as self-serving, particularly at the expense of others.

With respect to this topic, it all comes down to consent, at some level. One of the main reasons we condemn pedophilia so heavily is because a small child is still developing -- intellectually and physically. We see it as horribly wicked when some dude leverages his desires against someone who is simply too young to know any better or is too young to have any control over consent. Throw in physical complications and it becomes a concept that disgusts just about everyone. Therefore, we choose not to allow it because it infringes on what we consider basic human rights in a profound way.

But homosexuality? That, by no means, falls into the same category. No human rights are violated. What holds it back is societal stigma and ignorance. Hopefully time will start to chew through those a bit as the bigots die out and society becomes a bit more intelligent.
