There is a regular furore in the media about the issues of 'gay rights' and 'discrimination against gays', but is this either justifiable or worthy of the publicity given to it ? In recent days the matter has been given new impetus by a debate in the House of Lords and, once again, various individuals and organisations have been out and about in support of their case, whatever it is.
In my mind, we have the whole emphasis on this issue wrong. Homosexuality is neither right nor wrong, but it is an aberration - anyone who disagrees with this should read a dictionary definition. 'Gays' have no more nor less 'rights' than anyone else; they should be allowed to lead their lives the same as anyone else. They should not be discriminated against because of their difference to the bulk of the population but they must also accept that they are different and go quietly about their business as do the rest of us.
They should not wave their difference in the face of the rest of us, nor parade themselves outrageously, as far too many do, on our television screens and theatre stages. They should not expect to receive special treatment nor to be cosseted; they should not expect to be treated in the same ways as heterosexuals for they can never be procreative without the undue and unnatural intervention of medical science, and it is procreation that is the driving force of humanity. Children should not be conditioned to believe that homosexuality is 'normal' for, patently, it is not.
We should be spared the over-emphasis that arises from the over-representation of homosexuals in the worlds of entertainment and the media. Let us restore true balance in our lives.
