How can you keep it private when those people are exhibitionists? Gays have all kinds you know. Too bad some have the need to act out.

Ah, so we should compare ourselves to Muslim countries' laws? I guess I'd rather look at countries who have similar living conditions to the U.S. if I'm going to make comparisons.

Advocate democracy? I never have in my life. **** democracy!
America is generally billed as the finest democracy known to man.

There are plenty of homosexuals in Muslim countries, genius. My uncle told me tales of cavorting on beaches in Morocco that would've gotten him arrested in Spain (which is not exactly a homophobic place).

The only Muslim country where people are routinely condemned to death for homosexuality as such is our old ally, Saudi Arabia. Our other ally, Pakistan, might perhaps be second on the list.

Get your heads out of your Moderator cut: language and find out what you are talking about on occasion.

Settle down. I'm a straight married guy who doesn't want to deny others the same opportunities I've had.

Damn, I must be going to all the wrong Pride Parades. All I have ever seen is people happy and free to be themselves for one day.

Billed by whom? The same idiotic people democracy caters to in the first place--the common swine.

Of course they love America. It gives them a moment's pretensions to glory and a small escape from reality, in which they are merely common swine.

Uh, no, we did that already, remember? It was called the closet, and it wasn't exactly a great time for homosexuals. I, for one, have no interest in returning to those days. Maybe you do. Of course, judging by your comments, I have to assume that it's likely you're a heterosexual who has absolutely no empathy for those who aren't 100% heterosexual.

On the other hand, I know gay folks who keep it private and act normal amongst the rest of the population.

I guess I can live amicably with them. It's unfortunate the "illustrious" other half brings the normal one down with it

You had the opportunity to parade around naked and do sexual acts in public? Maybe in the future but I think a straight guy would be arrested for doing what gay guys get away with now.

So tell me how homosexuals are treated in Muslim countries? Are they accepted as anyone else? I don't think so.
