Could it have biblical origins? for instance the straight (well, strait) and narrow path, that is God's way? That is a good argument, and I see your point, however, it seems to me that most homosexual couples are white, unless my accidental drive though DuPont Circle and a certain part of San Francisco (It was actually my dad driving through DuPont circle) were not very good indicators of what is true. And if this is so, then most Buddhists, Muslims, and Hindus, are not going to worry about homosexuality, seeing as th emajority of them are not white. I'm really trying to understand, I promise.
whoa! back that train up, friend. you are entering dangerous territory here.
most couples in GENERAL are heterosexual. homosexuals, like blacks and hispanics, etc, are a minority. but they still have rights. the reason it may seem to you that most homosexual couples are white is because most people in the country are white. but there is homosexuality in all religions and races and species. also, san fran (love that city. such an amaaaaaazing place) tends to have people of a higher socio-economic status. and most people of high socio-economic status are white. again, that's not true across the board, but it's mostly true. so in an EXTREMELY wealthy city like san francisco, most of the people will be white, because mostly white people have the money. but my brother is gay, and he's definitely not white. and neither are his gay friends. (who are amazing, btw. i just wanted to sing their praises a bit)
basically, being a homosexual has nothing to do with race, religion, or gender.
