I find that a way to judge what you think is personally wrong or right is to bring it to your own door. The example I gave previously was 'could you let your wife/daughter etc do what Daneka does with a clear conscience which is the indicator of your own morals and values.

People may say 'I don't like what she does but it's not 'morally wrong' - but if they wouldn't let their wife/daughter etc do it because not trying to stop them would prey on their conscience, then deep inside, they DO think it is morally wrong. If they find it distasteful but have a clear conscience about letting them do it then they don't think it's morally wrong.
If my wife/daughter wanted to do what Daneka does, I would move hell and high water to stop them - so I must think it's morally wrong PERSONALLY- which doesn't mean it IS morally wrong for someone else who wouldn't mind.

If my son or daughter told me they were gay, I would accept that and love them just the same - because to ME being gay isn't morally wrong. The same with cursing or smoking - not morally wrong to me PERSONALLY.
So when people say something is amoral, or not amoral, their consciences, their own value systems are at work. It would be a boring world if everyone's moral codes where in perfect sync. We would all be robots.

I think we are almost on the same page. I stated above that I find what Danica does to be distasteful and that I wouldn't like any member of my family, or friends to be involved in that industry.

However I don't judge people who are, as long as they are within the law.

Going back to the idea that being gay is immoral, well thats total b*ll*x in my, ever so eloquent, opinion. Yet there are people who would scream "unclean" and "sinner", in much the same way that the word "*****" is being used on Danica*.

Morals are completely fluid. Not only regionally, or religiously, but they change as we change.

Thats why I stick to "distasteful" over "immoral"


*And just to be completely clear I'm not equating being gay to making a decision to work in the sex industry!!!!
