PaulS, I agree with you on this.
Coming from Asian country, we tends to have an open mind on the topic of homosexuality.
IMHO those who are homophobic are similar to those who fear guns because it COULD kill.
Generalisation based on a "believe" is what causes the world instability.
Viz,
Christians "believe" that Moslems are bad..
Moslems "believe" that Christians are bad..
Catholics "believe" that Protestants are bad and vice versa..
Hitler's Germany "believe" that Jews are bad..
Mixed couples "believe" that Gays are bad..
Beer drinkers VS wine drinkers VS spirit drinkers..
Non Shooters VS shooters..
There are enough fractions in the world out there, lets not add to it based on "believe"..
