Recently countries such as The Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and Canada have recognized same sex marriages. Even more countries have laws against discrimination based on a person's sexual orientation. Yet in some countries, such as India (The world's largest democracy) sex remains a crime punishable by law. This can include imprisonment for life. India is not the only country, many countries such as Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen for instance - sodomy is a crime in which the maximum punishment is death. Many citizens of India have recently called for the repeal of the law that makes homosexuality a crime. Opposition has rejected the prohibition on moral grounds. The stronger objection to prohibiting homosexuality is to deny the claim that lies at its core: that sexual acts between consenting people of the same sex are immoral. Sometimes it is claimed that homosexuality is "unnatural", and even a "perversion of our sexual capacity", which supposedly exists for the purpose of reproduction. This leads me to my question: Does the fact that homosexual acts cannot lead to reproduction make them immoral? If a form of sexual activity brings satisfaction to those who take part in it, and harms no
one, what can be immoral about it?
I cannot take credit for this thought, most of these words and statements are taken directly from: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2006/oct/21/comment.gayrights I am curious as to how the intellectuals of LiveWire view this topic.

immoral or not... how is it anyone else's business if i want to be immoral/moral in my own home? further more, morality is completely subjective; i think it's morally wrong to have sex before marriage, jimmy down the street doesn't have those morals, why should he be forced to adhere to my morals when what he does has NO affect on me?
anyway, to answer the ACTUAL question; no, i don't believe it's immoral. Post edited at 12:25 am on Mar. 17, 2008 by Seafercat

I don't feel it's possible to label it as moral or immoral. Homosexuality is (morally) intangible. Someone's sexuality does not define them unless they wish it to. I feel that only acts can be morally judged, so... I suppose that my answer would have to be no, it's not immoral.

We're jumping the gun here. We're trying to legalise homosexual sodomy, while even a harmless act like cohabitation, remains illegal in several US states. Working down the unnatural sex list, you'll also find oral sex, and heterosexual sodomy, regarded as illegal deviant sexual activity, punishable by law, right in your good ol' US of A. In any case, whichever may be the orifice of one's sexual preference, any private act, barring injury or death, between, or among, consenting individuals, should remain purely their prerogative. C'est la vie.

Why are we here, if we are here at all?
