Speaking of homosexuality. Why is homosexuality o.k., but polygamy, and incest are not?
I'm flicking thru the channels, & I land on an "E" channel show about the best/worst Oscar moments. Among these was the vaguely sexual relationship and kiss between Angelina Jolie and her Brother several years ago (before Brangelina and before Billy-Bob). All of the no-name "comedians" that comment on the clips, including the gay ones, were grossed-out by this display of "too-close" sibling affection.
I also found it weird & disturbing; but how is it that homosexuality is beyond reproach, and yet incest among "consenting", "adult" siblings is still "gross", "creepy", even "immoral"?
How is it that the so-called "mainstream" culture accepts or advocates gay-marriage, and yet balks at polygamy? Polygamy has a long and often-respected history, and is obviously still practiced in many parts of the world; whereas, homosexual marriage has absolutely no precedent.
Now, I recognize that those pushing for an elimination of all morality and ethics in this country may (probably do) want to eventually normalize polygamy and incest (not to mention pedophilia). But at this particular moment in time, there is still a tremendous hypocrisy within the homosexual lobby, and especially among those "tolerant" heterosexuals who are so understanding of homosexuals that they will advocate it as a normal, acceptable behavior. They will call anyone who suggests that homosexuality is wrong a "homophobe", and yet they will still mock, scorn, and look with disgust upon polygamy or incest. What is the difference?
I think it's important to play devil's advocate with members of the homosexual lobby and their "uber-tolerant" supporters to point out this hypocrisy, whenever forced to argue or discuss homosexuality with such a person. Ask them to explain why homosexuality is acceptable, while incest (among adults) is not?
