Homosexuality

A simple piece on why Homosexuality is Not Immoral by Peter Singer. I love the clarity of his writing in bringing out the absurdity of the "it's unnatural" argument for the immorality of homosexuality.
But we might just as well say that using artificial sweeteners is a "perversion of our sense of taste," which exists so that we can detect nourishing food. We should beware of equating "natural" with "good."
There are so many issues worth fighting for, but sadly it seems that much of humanity doesn't listen to reason.

indeed, most of humanity does not think from first principles, but only operates from mindsets. initially i felt frustration, but now i have accepted this as part of nature, which leads to suffering that cannot be avoided.
