WSJ: Democracy loses if Prop. 8 is overturned.

[TheRealMafoo]

Here is what I believe about homosexuality. (I didn't make this up, but when I heard it, I agreed with it).

There is a fairly small percentage of people who could never find happiness in a relationship with the opposite sex (let's use 10% as an example. It might be less, it might be more.)

Inversely, There is a fairly small percentage of people who could never find happiness in a relationship with the same sex (let's use 10% again).

So for around 20% of the people in the world, they don't have a choice. Everyone else is on a sliding scale somewhere in between.

Right now, homosexuality is considered a bad thing, so culture drives those 80% of the population towards heterosexuality, but in times where it was considered a good thing to sleep with the same sex (like periods of greek times), it was the opposite. Those 80% swung the other way, and that 10% just could not do it.

Same goes when you are put in situations like prison. People who never would think of a same sex relationship get involved in one.

Of course, 90% of us want to think we are in that 10% that would never do it :)
