Tom,

 

To clarify, I'm currently interested in two things:  what the actual
difference in cultural/behavioral expression really is (statistically)
between current homosexual and heterosexual practice and also whether or not
homosexual activity is defined according to some broad notions of morality
to be in any sense 'wrong.'  All sexual activity is not off the radar simply
because it is sexual or private, as I'm sure you would agree; e.g., we might
not necessarily condone some forms of adultery and we might not dispute laws
against sex with consenting minors.  I also want to distinguish the question
of legal right from the question of morality.  Further, I also want to grant
that if some traditions conclude that homosexual activity is 'not good' or
'wrong' this does not entail that these traditions will approach actual
homosexuals like a bunch of arrogant fundamentalists.  I do share your
concerns about bigotry, fear, feeling threatened, etc.  I just don't think
my particular questions deal much with that particular problem.  Hope that
helps.

That's just it, Michael -

 

You really don't know.

 

I am a male heterosexual that has been married to his "significant other"
for 33 years (come June).

 

During the course of those 33 years my significant other and I have known
several homosexual people.  One was the best man (you can take that pun any
way you want) at our wedding.  To qualify his "equal entitlements under the
law" by his sexual preference is purely, and simply, intolerable.

 

You see.  I possess sufficient self-confidence and do not feel threatened
living in the same state, same city, or same building with a same-sex
married couple.

 

And yet another question remains:  Of the 58,004 names on the Vietnam
Memorial Wall, how many belong to homosexual  soldiers, sailors, airmen, or
Marines.

 

Seeya round town, Moscow.
