That is why I can't see how homosexuality can be seen as immoral or even a morality issue in a sociological sense. Unless you get really picky, whether a person is a homosexual, heterosexual, or bisexual, it really doesn't affect anyone else. The only way I can see it being a morality issue is if it is one forced upon us by a higher power or a person in power. But that should not happen in the United States being a secular democracy (republic).

I know your argument and do not really disagree with you but understand that your position is one of your age and time of birth. There are many people a few generations back who believe that homosexuality is a morality issue. I think it has more to do with one's religious beliefs more than anything else. There are a certain set of behaviors which society at large generally will not tolerate in public and those things are enforced by law, but if you dig a little deeper, from a historical position, you find that many of them were based on prevailing religious views. So I see how one group of people may define homosexuality from a morality position and another group does not see it that way.
