					<description><![CDATA[I find it both alluring and disturbing that so many people feel the need to diagnose and find causation for human behavior. While I understand you attempt to discourage misinformation and false politically influenced ideology, as a gay male; whom has two loving parents who do not support his sexuality but support everything else.... I am disgusted. 

I love my parents deeply, and I love God, whether or not a two thousand year old book tells me I go to hell ( after all, test all things, keep that which is good, its in there people). 

My life is good, and I still am uncomonly disturbed by the need to discect homosexuals as though we are zoo animals. Whether you do it in the spirit of comparison, comprehending, defense, or attack; still, you discect. 

Now, this is what I have to ask you; why? 

Why is it dso disturbing for people to recognize a difference among them? Are we so theologically entranced that love thy neighbor and give freely to thine enemies no longer applies? 

See, I was raised religiously, in private school, and then later in public school. I have seen both sides of the proverbial coin so to speak. 

But you all sit here and just go on and on. Who cares? 

If one is unhappy with their sexuality, it is because of causation of environmental factors in their life, ie feeling unaccepted, or being unable to accept themselves. Either they learn to, they struggle all their days, or they work against it actively. 

The results are going to be on an individual basis the same as the individuals approach to the problem; and their grasp of their own situation. 

Will their ever be a day when people simply stop caring too much? 

I would rather see a world in which people are unable to recognize sexuality than this inscect-like approach to the arcan art of psycho-analytical culture. 

People, are ever fools, that much is for certain, but whos fool will you be? 

I would rather step out of this stupidity and go on living my life happily; and like the rest of you, with a few issues for tissues along the way. 

Ignorance is not a crime, only willing ignorance of common-place intelligence. Take a leaf out of my book, and just stop caring about it. It is never and will never be important. Sexuality simply is, as it is; leave it there people
