Sodomy however, is a capital crime in the kingdom and also the yemen. Not sure about the emirates. They behead them in Saudi Arabia.
When I use the term homosexuality I mean sexual relations between people of the same gender, you seem to be using it to mean simply an attraction between two members of the same gender. That's why we are missing each other on this one.

Ok, so where does the right for societies to adopt their own morality come from?

Not at all. That is entirely possible. I'm not saying that makes it right, but it still makes it acceptable, from their point of view, within their society. [/quote]
Well we’re talking about what is morally right and what is morally wrong are we not? So it is possible for an entire society to act in a manner that is morally wrong?
Quote: There is not a society on Earth that doesn't have moral dissenters. That doesn't make them morally wrong, but it does make them moral outsiders.
What’s the difference between someone behaving in a manner that is morally wrong and someone being a moral outsider?
