My point on Western society's fixation with homosexuality is that this debate has almost nothing to do with the Bible, which was your initial argument. The Bible says it, they believe it, move on. But it's not that simple, because there's so many moral laws in the Bible they look past consciously or unconsciously. So why is this the issue where Leviticus applies? It's our society. Homosexuality has to be one of the biggest "moral" issues of our time, and it's literally which genitals you prefer.

Ok, then lets put the bible to one side, as anyway I am not religous. From a moral stand point then, at the moment I would say society is very pro homosexual, almost every single school accepts it into lesson for children about growing up and forming relationships, it features very heavily in factual videos made specifically for teens. It has become part of the positive discrimination argument along with race and physical ability. Our media views have changed to accept and in some ways celebrate homosexuals, its almost like you can't have anything to do with fashion on tv unless you are gay, am I right?
You see, society at the moment is in almost a "gay fever" where it feels the need to celebrate homosexuality. So I would say the moral issue is really, do we think its the correct way to go?
And I still believe in Dave's inherent right to a religious belief, we wouldn't stop a muslim reading their Koran in the house would we?
