Lets be very careful in responding to a topic as sensitive as this.
some think homosegxwality is natural, ie people are born with it. But as a person schooled in sociological learning theory, i believe that evry action of man in society is learnt. so don't tell me homosegxwals are born with it
Having established that individuals are not born with it, the next question is, the morality of it.
The answer is not straight forward. it is neither a good or bad answer.
Individuals defer as to what they like.
the Chinese for instance eat frog and most Africans dont. Does that make frog eating bad? disgusting? or wrong. No.
The problem we have in sub Sahara Africa and especially Nigeria is our overwhelming love for taboo, superstition and tradition, hence we are still living in the 18th century while the western world are approaching the 22nd century.
Homosegxwality is a matter of preference and while some of us may not like the act in itself, we should not loath someone who finds themselves attracted to individual of the same sex.
This brings us to the question of morality. is homosegxwality a moral issue? yes. but some of us are forgetting that morality is a relative concept. There is no universal concept of morality. In some society, it is not morally wrong whereas it is totally acceptable in some others.
Lets just open our mind and accept homosegxwals for who they are first of all (human beings) then we can throw stones at them because of their perceived sin. But before we do that lets check ourselves and he without a sin in his/her live should throw the first stone. I rest my case
