I have two basic reasons for disapproving of homosexuals. First, I wouldn't want my children to be exposed to that type of lifestyle and that type of mentality. I think there is no doubt that there are some people who are gay because they have emulated people they admired who happened to be gay. Also, I don't like liberals and the gay segment of the population is militantly left wing.
Aside from those two issues, I have trouble understanding the hysterical vitriol directed at gays by some of the contributors to the forum. I mean really, comparing gays to muslims? The gays could not plunge the world into another dark age like the muslims can and are trying to do. Can someone explain to me where all of this hatred is coming from?
I've worked with quite a few homosexual men and women over the years, had conversations with them, gone home and still managed to raise two decent children to adulthood. They did not affect me, because I am comfortable with my own way of life. I do not agree with all of this fear and loathing of gay people. I honestly feel sorry for a lot of them. They seem to be generally very unhappy people.
I remember one interview in which Rabbi Kahane was asked "what would you do with the gay people?" The Rabbi said, "I would try to educate them". Can somebody explain to me if my attitude is wrong and why?
