The Homosexual Debate part 2

In light of the Prime Minister's recent comments that Homosexuals should be arrested we take a second (sigh) look at the whole homosexuality in Africa discussion began here. Once again i will state from the on set that Homosexuality is completely incompatible with my belief system furthermore my cultural up bringing. So a change on my views on this issue requires a fundamental change in my belief and cultural structures. However my rejection of homosexuality as a valid form of human relations should not (and does not) translate to homophobia. Harassing and arresting does little for any logical argument against this lifestyle and why a country and a government may chose to be against gay marriage etc. I would that the PM backtrack on his comments but not not necessarilty entirely his views. In the context of cultures and political discourse we must show that opposition and are opinions are clearly thought out and explained and not just rejection because of fear. There are many areas where the PM may choose to engage this discussion to provide some understanding and clarity, particularly because i feel that in this particular discussion the majority is misunderstood in the face of loud minorities on the wings of this discussion. Pandering to the wing nuts may score quick political points but is the kind of victory that ultimately leads to defeat. It is my hope that future utterances from the RT Hon will reflect an intelligent approach to an issue that raises emotions regardless of what position you take.
