Homosexuality

This is a topic no more worthy of discussion than heterosexuality, bisexuality, or asexuality. To think that some people would be tormented or legally reprimanded for any of said choices is shocking. Well, I guess it is more shocking to find out that it is currently still in practice. Imprisonment may no longer be a current form of punishment but there is still their exclusion from religion, marital and legal traditions, and familial or social exile in some cases. It is preposterous to think that a person would be judged for anything besides complete malicious behaviors.
It seems to me that the general cause for prejudice is that which is at the root of all forms, misunderstanding or misinformation. The prejudiced person is blinded to the fact that with anything there are no absolutes, and variety is ever present. Variety is a combination of infinite possibilities encompassing both nature and nurture as displayed by mutations in genes and attitudes that lead to different physical, instinctual, physiological, psychological and behavioral tendencies. The persecution of one sect over another may at one time have been an unconscious part of competition for the “fittest”, but at this point it can be understood and scrutinized on a conscious level leaving the recognition of the previous behavior as a primitive, irrational, and ignorant.
It should be this body of small-minded individuals who should be ostracized from our society as they do nothing but breed contempt, aggression, falsification, and bias among the citizenry, which by all accounts is a malicious deed. It is the defiant preachers of hate who are the ones that have segregated populations with their territorialism and ludicrous ideas of self-entitlement that infringe upon the rights of others. Throughout history this has been shown by nationalism, systems of belief, by the fickle and temporary aspirations of vanity and extended to discriminate by color, by class, by sex, by gender, and sexual attraction. It is their continued inclusion and the deeming that their usual jargon is worthy of being heard that bars society from becoming a cohesive whole.
