VC, in biological terms, same sex couplings would be termed an abberation. it happens, but it's not normal.
Same in humans, its an abberation, it happens, but it is not normal. We can decide to be all magnanimous and just accept it, give legal rights etc, but it s.till isn't normal and should not be presented as such.
Just like my eyesight, i have astigmatism. It is not normal, it is an abberation... a common one, yet still abberent.
Spelling aside, there is nothing wrong with an aberration.
Same sex coupling happens throughout the animal kingdom, albeit usually only in a small number of cases. That's why biologists call it
aberrant, deviating from a general practice that is more common for a particular species.
Where Bible Bashers and Quran Quoters go wrong is when they redefine
aberration as an
abomination, attach
moral values to what they see as
normal, and denounce behaviour that
deviates from the norm as
devious.
Thousands of years ago, among Middle-Eastern desert tribes, such aberration may well have been counter-productive as it deprived the tribe of child-bearing potential, necessary for the tribe's survival. "Every sperm is sacred" - especially if it's from a "successful" male. "Line up the wombs in a production line." And then let Nature do the culling, making sure that only the most useful products survive.
Do we want to go back to those sacred principles? By all means, but you can't have one without the other. If an ethnic or religious group wants to enforce the ancient concept of mandatory conception, it has to accept natural culling to balance the scale. No human intervention with medicine, food aid, ante- and post-natal support. It was God's will that this child be born, now let him alone decide how long the creature has to wait before being "called to Heaven."
Could it be that the proponents of those "sacred ways" accept the need for increased culls, if only subconsciously? ISIL and their various sympathisers seem to be doing quite an efficient job wherever they go. And is it mere coincidence that the very same forces that oppose basic freedoms like family planning and euthanasia, are the staunchest supporters of dirty power, military might, and global environment pollution?
I would prefer a world that moves forward, a world where every child brought into it can survive in a healthy environment, where everyone enjoys the same dignity and respect.
I know, I'm dreaming. But I'll sleep easier.
