Dear Gabbi-2
> It's true, perhaps why some religions honour homosexuality.
That's interesting. Which religions do honor homosexuality? I suppose the Vatican does not.
> It's sad though, that maligned groups have at times gained acceptance because of what they "given" to society (hence my beer comment)
Yes, I think it's sad. Even if such groups gain acceptance at times it is possible that they must suffer. Sviatoslav Richter had episodes of depression. He had (unfortunately) an unbelievable memory and said in his eighties that his life was nothing for him. In the only official interview in his last days he said: "I don't like myself". Richter was somehow captivated due to his genius and political circumstances (controlled by Soviet agents and much more)
In contrast Nathan Milstein had many musical companions probably with a similar orientation. He said: "It doesn't make sense to think too much about life sometimes".
Gould suffered anxiety and had episodes of depression. But this maybe not due to a special orientation.
Is it really morality? Or are people just trying use the immoral club to bash something they find personally distasteful?
