It was not entirely clear to me, are you homophobic (anti-gay) too?
Regarding that issue: I think it's absolutely ridiculous. OK I agree that homosexuals kissing and/or making out in public spaces is a little too much and that should be done privately, and that someone should wait until he or she is at least 18 until make up his mind about sexual preferences - someone younger is not yet mature to make this decision - BUT... they are not harming you. They are not harming anyone. They are not raping people, they are not doing anything wrong! Why should we condemn homosexuals, because in the Bible there's a passage about a city called Sodom that God supposedly destroyed? Well, there are passages in the Bible about God creating the world, who was there to watch it? How do we know for true? The bible and all the other holy books from other religions have much to teach us, BUT, unfortunally, much of men's problems such as homophobia eventually got their way into the bible. There's a passage in the bible about women being inferior to men and serving them, and never undressing their heads in public, claiming that above men there is God, and above women there are men, does that mean we should treat women as slaves? To me, racism and homophobia are ignorant prejudices perpertuated by week minded, if you are any one of those, I don't think it's your fault, it's probably because of your sorroundings and your education.
