Because they probably have better things to do in their lives than to worry about peoples sex lives.
I have an advice for you. You would be a lot happier in your life if you just started to accept people for what they are and whats in their heart.

One can love someone of the same sex but not have sex with them , big difference. When someone crosses that line to have sex with some one of the same sex it is abnormal.
Personally I think your opinion is weird and NOT NORMAL.

Of course, you have a right to your opinion ... and to express it! Not trying to take away your freedom of speech.

BUT ... I think your views are as archaic and prejudiced as any held by a member of the KKK, the Nazi Party, or the Westboro Baptist Church.

Greetings from The City Of Brotherly Love!



The City where the first gay rights demonstrations were held ...

Define "normal"

Why would you protest to consenting adults committing themselves to each other?

The sin of Sodom was inhospitality to strangers. They neglected the poor and needy. It even tells that you in the Bible. Have you even read it?

Fair enough. But those sins obviously went along with homosexuality, like it or not. If you disagree then you will have to throw out the entire Bible.

What I objected to was your idea that the word Sodom had it's origins in homosexuality. No, it's a slang term created as a result of the biblical account.

I'm a Buddhist, and Buddhism does not in any way prohibit or condemn homosexuality or gay people.

Would you feel differently if you were prevented by law from marrying the person you love?
Yeah, I was wondering about that idiotic statement too. The self-righteousness and bible thumping of the pseudo Christians is ad nauseum. I am thoroughly convinced that the "thou doth protest too much " as it relates to these bores is a cover-up for their own sexual insecurities and dormant/latent sexual tendencies.
