Comments on other issues: Your letters: Outlaw homosexuality

F

strong>Feb. 9, p8

Indonesia should join 80 other countries in the world in outlawing homosexual activity. Such practices are against Islamic teachings and Christian values.

I may be old, with outdated morals, but homosexuality should not be allowed in Indonesia. The country does not have to follow Australia, America, the UK and other Western countries that have lost their sense of morality.


Your comments:

I wonder why the writer is so threatened by the homosexuals he supposedly encountered. There'€™s some internal conflict going on there.

Why does this reader consider homosexuality as abnormal? Homosexual behavior is something commonly observed in all human societies, independent of whether laws or religious or other '€œmoral values'€ allow it or not.

Nazis used to persecute homosexuals, as they did with Jews and other minorities. religious facists seem to share similar views.

Anyone can write a piece of bigotry: '€œI was disgusted to see smelly Islamic people in their ugly body coverings all huddling together.'€

See, anyone can be a bigot about someone else but it doesn'€™t make that opinion valid. Why encourage dumb bigotry?
