I know it's an abbreviation of "*****", a bundle of wood. But my question is : how come "*****" can have turn to mean "gay"?

I read a question posted that asked why homosexuality is wrong, requesting that religious reasons be omitted as homosexuality is a social issue and not a religious one.

I saw some of answers that pertained to the dangers of anal sex, but this is not synonymous with homosexuality, nor is it even exclusively homosexual in nature.

So I would like to ask the question myself: without resorting to religious reasons, why is homosexuality wrong?

And I would like to clarify that homosexuality is NOT: homosexual sex, anal sex, oral sex, bestiality, rape of any kind, nor any other kind of sexual activity.

Homosexuality IS: an instinctual, undeniable personal attraction to human members of the same sex as oneself.

I always jokingly say, "if people are against it, they have something to hide". I don't really think its any of my business, but others I know have a pretty strong opinion about it. Why do you think it is wrong?

For me, religion is a form of social control, so when it comes to these issues, I don't turn to religion, so please leave religion out of your answer.

This is true and happened very recently to a friend...

A man was travelling on the London Underground. At one station he fell down a flight of stairs. He had 2 broken ribs from his fall. He had blood running down his face.

NO ONE HELPED HIM. Not one person reached out and helped him up, no one called for help from staff or first aid services.

I am a Christian and am stuggling to believe this but I know it's true! Even when I used to call myself an atheist I would have helped someone who fell down a flight of stairs.....

Why didn't anyone help?! Would you have helped or would you have walked on by!?
