Kant's "Categorical Imperative" says (as I understand it) that if you want to decide whether something is immoral or not you should imagine that everyone always carries out the act being judged, then, ask yourself if you want the results. So, if everyone in the world always lied would that be desirable? Obviously not, so telling lies is morally wrong.
Applying this to homosexuality, if everyone was always homosexual the human race would become extinct. If this is undesirable then homosexuality is morally wrong.
I personally don't care about people's sexuality but, conversely, this moral question interests me. Any views?
