It is understandable, to a degree, why some of the major religions in the world (Christianity chief among them) have made sexual issues pre-eminent in talking about "sin" and "salvation" and "righteousness." If you believe that the "original sin" was a sexual one --- and that all things sexual are somehow, in some way, evil --- then you are trapped by your own prejudices brought on by your "religious belief."
I for one do not believe that sex is evil, or wrong, or a sin. Sex is natural and normal, designed not only for propagation -- but for recreation. Sex is not a part of animal existence to then be denied without restrictions -- heterosexuality, monogamy, even one-position-only kind of thinking. Sex is right -- it is a way of communicating -- it is wholesome and even beautiful.
The current discussions about "gay sex" are sidelights, meant only to hold any alternative yet normal lifestyle at bay. Why does the bulk of the population seem to be threatened by someone espousing "gay sex?" SIN is the answer to that question. Stuck in belief systems laid down in ancient or medieval times -- the "hyper-moralists" of the day preach a kind of biblical purity without even understanding the book they quote from. America's sexual morality is flawed; so-called Christian sexual morality is misplaced; human sexual morality that is threatened by alternative lifestyles is ridiculous and just plain wrong.
