Homosexuality isn't a fashionable lifestyle choice. You're either homosexual or you're not. We can either accept that some people are going to "swing that way" or we can be bigoted towards them (which is unconstructive and cruel). Your kids aren't going to suddenly wake up one morning, wanting to be gay, just because they saw some gay characters on TV or something.

There's also no doubt that Christian religions have done a lot to warp people's view of sexuality in the west. General American attitudes towards nudity, for example, are pretty ****ing weird to me. Prudish nonsense that comes from Catholicism and Christianity. Humans are sexual beings. It's idiotic and harmful to try and pretend the opposite. But then again, religion is generally idiotic. It would just be nice if all atheists world wide would question their own views on sexuality and realize that, maybe, they are buying into moronic religious moralizing without even ever having qestioned it. The US, Britain, Denmark, etc... all have Christian histories and it's shaped our cultures. Not always for the better. At least Danish culture is radically less prudish than US culture, but it's not like there's not a presence of weird ideas and attitudes about sexuality, even here.
