Patient discussion about homosexuality.

Q. Is this a malady if i am homosexual? because i feel sometimes very unhappy and outside the society... Some people would say - "oh yes", other could say: "i don't know, but i think this is not so common or normal", "homosexual? even the rats don't do it in the laboratories", "they should be exterminated", and so on. In fact we hear probably more bad stuff, than something else. My brother is homosexual and was very long depressive, because he could not tell it to our parents. Perhaps he is still depressive - a little bit from time to time. He lives with his partner. I do not pretend to have the key about it, nor the why nor the "how it comes".

In the USA, most Christians still believe in the literal interpretation of the bible, with a creation, heaven, and hell. Associate with others like you. Consider moving to a place more accepting of homosexual lifestyles, such as San Francisco, Sydney, Australia, (even Melbourne has an exclusively gay pub [I don't know how they prove it] ). It is estimated that around 10% of the population are homosexual. BTW, "homo", means "same", as in homogenous. Lesbians are female homosexu
