I can't subscribe to the current trendy vehemence towards religion demonstrated by some people nowadays, but it doesn't help when people come out with statements like 'adam and steve' and 'the bible says..blah blah'. I'm not opposed to the notion of God but you might as quote Mein Kampf for your morality, as the Bible is proven to have just about the same lack of credibility.
Personally I could care less about taboo. Its taboo in Saudi arabia for women to drive, so what? doesn't make it right, although not everyone might agree. Its also taboo for women to wear revealing clothes in Saudi, which people in the West laugh at until you consider that we arrest people for walking around naked, which demonstrates exactly the same mentality. I digress, but it is better to tolerate. Where gays are not tolerated they are often subject to murder and beatings.Also, I don't have a problem if someone wants to marry their grandfather. Why?, because a book i read says its ok.
