[QUOTE="Miserable, post: 314041, member: 15969"] Personally, I think the reason down to why we still aren't accepting it is due to education and the media. If for example, you taught a child not just about heterosexual encounters but about homosexual encounters too then would the next generation feel so obliged to see it as an unnatural and inhuman way to be? the more than likely answer is no. At this current time, children are only learning about heterosexual sex and so yes, yes they will then see that this is the moral way to look at things because they have this ideal image in their heads from what they have seen and learnt that being homosexual is not what we are meant to be. This doesn't mean shoving the concept of being a homosexual down the childs throat, but more to the point to raise awareness that there are other couples in this world other than male and female companions. My second point, the media. Now although the media have been a little more accepting, has it been so accepting that it could change the way we think? No. In every TV advert I have seen over the few years, I do not remember one single advert that had a female and female companionship or male to male in another case because perhaps at this point they don't want to feature the 'unnatural' occurrences to sell their projects. As well as this, celebritys that have come out as homosexual aren't praised enough for being an inspiration to everyone. Me personally, I'm not homosexual but I'm in support for the rights of the community and have been to the pride parade on one occasion to support a friend - at this current point in times, I would, myself, feel slightly bewildered as a celebrity of a sexuality that was frowned upon because having so many people watching you on a day to day basis can and will have an effect on you be it good or bad.
