I still can’t wrap my mind around homosexuality

@Adrian colby , thank you for the detailed and open minded reply. You have saved a lot of time for me as my reply was supposed to be in similar lines. Here are some more similar points to ponder:

1. Open mindedness alone cannot create a better society, but it's an important factor in the advancement of the same. It has to be combined with compassion, love or other characters of selflessness. For example, imagine you are a judge in a court of law. When we are dealing with a rapist, pedophile, murderer etc. , we can punish them for the welfare of the society and at the same time, be open minded and compassionate towards them for not being in control of their desires, circumstances, upbringing etc. This can even lead to better alternative punishments for the same.

2. Homosexuality doesn't hurt the society in a major way, whereas things like pedophilia and cannibalism do hurt others in extreme magnitudes. That's why lines are drawn based on the magnitudes of suffering they bring. Nobody exactly knows how much suffering each act brings. That's an important reason why every country has their unique set of laws, while open mindedness and compassion also do play a role.

3. Even if accepting homosexuality brings lot of mental suffering to the closed minded societies, we can't argue much about it, because sex is accepted as a basic need for human beings in most societies. Prohibiting homosexuality would be similar to not allowing anyone to practice your own religion, simply because you hate any religion other than the one you follow or worried about people getting converted to the new religion. To be fair, it's much worse than that.

Thanks for the extensions. It’s appreciated.

All gays start out as bi. True story. 

maybe your concerns are cultural with the country you are from?

For sure. Your cultural upbringing, religion, environment all play a major role in how you view LGBT. Someone who was brought up in a conservative environment will have a much more difficult time coming out than someone who was brought up in a liberal environment.

All gays start out as straight. All bi's start out as straight. All straights start out as bi-curious. How's that for configuration.

Everything is made up. Even the title LGBTQ. It's all human shit.

So true. My family are so open and accepting but even I struggled telling them I was gay. My hetro brother had to pull me aside and say he was offended I hadn’t told him I was gay. 😀
