    I think that in the process of building up a culture, a lot of harmless behaviors get grouped in with the harmful ones. For example, going outside naked is a harmless act – it hurts nobody. Yet it is not allowed by this society. Nothing terrible would happen if we were all to go naked in hot weather – it’s just not allowed because of an arbitrary social rule. I view the prohibition against homosexuality to be a similar arbitrary social rule. It does not hurt anyone if a person decides to engage in a sexual act with a consenting person of the same sex – if they both want it, and aren’t hurting anyone else, whom does it hurt? Since the prohibition against homosexuality was hurting quite a lot of people, this rule is getting changed. The difference between homosexuality and things like pedophilia is that homosexuality occurs between consenting adults – pedophilia or zoophilia involves a non-consenting child or animal. And I think that anything consenting adults do in their own bed is their own business.
