Fortunately, we are not so in the dark ages that this occurs now.

I am thinking you are being cheeky here...
Sadly however, some of our less enlightend people we happen to share this rock we call Earth with do actually believe this nonsense. The more enlightened and educated people are aware that it is becoming a very well accepted belief and nearly a provable fact by science that sexual orientation is har wired into the person at birth. Sure there is a segment of the gay population that made a choice one way or the other or were influenced by environmental factors. But for the majority of the gay population they were in fact "born that way" As soon as they reached an age where they began to have sexual attraction, it was always for the same sex. This to me is way homosexuality is just as "normal" as heterosexuality. This is a natural part of the human condition and homosexuality is no more "abnormal" than having either dark or white skin. It is once again, the cancer of religion in this world that has made it appear so.
The Civil Rights struggle that our gay community is having to fight in these times, is not unlike the struggles that blacks had to go through in the 1960`s. This is not to say that blacks in America did not suffer far more inhumane treatment as gays never had to endure slavery and the same degree of hostility. Having said that, gay bashing and and physical asaults are akin to that treatment. All of this is an ugly stain on America and I look forward to a day when none of these differences matter. I think with each generation of young people, we are becoming more enlightened. As proof of this progress, all one needs to do is look back to 1978. Before that time the LDS church openly discriminated against blacks. In an amazing coincidence, at the very time the U.S. government was taking a hard look at the Mormon practices of racism, the church had a revelation from God that Blacks were in fact people after all...amazing aint it? Many of the world`s major Christian faiths are now struggling with the issue of "allowing" gays to be in the clergy. I tend to laugh at their hand wringing of this issue. Who the hell are these people to deny anyone to follow "the calling of the Lord" as they like to put it. As we evolve, so does religion; we no longer believe in magic or witches, and so the church no longer burns witches at the stake. All of this is further proof to me that all religion is an invention of man.
