 Even though some people aren't the most practicing members of their religious
groups, they still hold their religious beliefs/socio-moral beliefs and as such
cramming the acceptibility of homosexuality down their throats would be highly
distasteful, at best (No pun intended).  It took thousands of years for our 
society to evolve to its present level; to expect overt public acceptance of
homosexuality immediately is unwise, if not downright foolish. My own religious
beliefs consider homosexuality an "abomination"; nevertheless, for me to public-ly announce this through various media would be forcing my beliefs on everyone
else, a wrong unto itself.  The discussions on this net should be kept as free
of religious issues as possible; that's why we have net.religion, anyway. To 
force belief/value systems on anyone is not the purpose of this net, mature
discussion is!
