Britain in its current form goes back less than 1000 years, to the Norman invasion. Before that, it was a Germanic nation... not English as we know it today. I wouldn't say that today's England is that similar to pre-Norman Britain.

And the US isn't just a offshoot of the English... we took in way too many people from all over the world (unlike most any old nation, most of which try to stay homogenous) from the very beginning to make it that simple...

And I'd say that the level of success those civilizations (greece and rome) would be more than enough to show that homosexuals aren't "destroying society"... no luck, I know, but I can wish...

Where to start?

Rome and Greece were great civilizations but neither was successful. Both were eventually destroyed by outside invasions, but as any student of history knows, a great empire can only fall from without when it is weakened from within. The societies of those civilizations, when they fell, were in total collapse. Rome and Greece were failures, and massive ones at that. Homosexuality obviously isn't a chief cause of that decayed moral structure but it almost certainly didn't help matters. Let's also remember that Roman culture, in addition to hosting widespread homosexuality, also was a common ground for incest. Incest was as accepted as homosexuality, and rape was rather frequent as well. Am I supposed to accept incest and rape as acceptable just because the Romans did? If one must accept homosexuality as normal and acceptable on those grounds, one must also accept those on the same grounds.

History aside, our culture, and especially our homosexual culture is much different than ancient Rome. In Rome, homosexuality was a common practice. In modern times it is not common, at least on such a level. I'll use America as an example for posterity. Homosexual activity today is less taboo than previously, but it is still an action that most, myself included, do not approve of. It is an action that many find immoral, and the practice of it damages our morals. We are told that we should accept behavior that we find repulsive. That itself damages society, especially when that acceptance is forced on us. Many people would have no problem with it at all if it were kept private, and it should be. Why do we have to know anyone is gay? Your (ABF, I know you didn't say it, big guy) statement about many gays wishing they weren't is shit. Gay people love pushing the issue, they feel it empowers them or whatever kick they get out of it. They love being gay and they love telling everyone about it, and if not verbally telling people, flagrantly acting the part, knowing that most people are repulsed by it. And then they are surprised when there's a backlash. Hello! Why don't I just stroll into Church Hill slums in Richmond and tell all the black people how I'm white and goddamned proud of it? I'd most likely get my ass shot, and I'd deserve to. Not because I'm white, but because I'm making an issue about it to people who most likely do not like white people. There is no reason to tell people about your sex life. Do you ever see a normal person exult in how heterosexual they are? No.

Our society does not accept homosexuality, and hopefully never will, because first it becomes accepted, then it becomes popular in the mainstream, and then it becomes encouraged, and the thought of homosexuality being encouraged in society makes me want to vomit. Now I certainly don't advocate harrassment of gays, because I think whatever a person does in their bedroom is up to them. But when a gay person makes that personal business public, then I don't shed a single tear for whatever happens to them because of it.
