Since when was homosexuality so cherished in your country? It still isn't, really. Your customs and traditions denounce it. But I guess it's this whole counter-culture movement and the false impression of individual independence it brings that makes you come up with new meanings for things.
It isn't, countries can't have an opinion but the people residing in it can. The majorities opinion leads towards things like freewill, human rights, peace, love. These are the things we cherish. I don't care if someones gay or not, I just respect their right to pursue that life because it isn't hurting me and I wish the best for them. If the majority feels these things are important enough then customs and traditions can change because we can change them.
I'm very sorry the majority of your countries population and some of Americas population apparantly doesn't feel those things are important.
I do though.
Free will, human rights, peace, love, yes, these sound nice. I'm not against these either. But none of these are complete without the customs and traditions that provide as the basis of these. Without our customs and traditions, our culture, who would we be?
Our people are a fiercely independent people. However, we have our limits within society. This requires us to protect the institution of marriage for the sake of the future of the society. I feel rather proud that such stuff has not been able to surface in my country. I can feel at least secure and at ease when I go out on the street.
Don't get me wrong. I also respect their right to pursue whatever they want.
However this doesn't mean that I respect whatever they aim to do.
But once again, it's rather irrelevant as we still live on the saner half of the world. No offense.
Your part is slowly sliding into madness.
Moving away from what is relevant to society, to what is irrelevant to society is a sign of madness to me. In our part of the world, this is not even an issue. But obviously people do actually vote for people on their stance on gay marriage. This spells lunacy to me, nothing else.
