Because left-handedness is morally neutral, and so is homosexuality.

Where have you got this from ? never heard of it myself,don't you think there is always some crazy statement just to sell newspapers or keep people in work I heard it read out on the radio the other day that if your left handed you wont live as long as someone who is right handed, who are these people ? Oh well good job we don't believe all we hear. I dont think all would agree with you that in general that is how people think .

I don't think the stigma is still prevalent today. It was once thought to be a sign of the devil in a person. Both were a sign on an immoral person.
If you were left-handed you would have it tied behind your back until you learnt to write with your right hand, but you would always be seen as a potentially evil person. As being Gay used to be thought of as an evilness and unnaturalness in a person and therefore that person was to be avoided.

There are a lot more people who are left handed than gay. Being left handed puts you in the minority for things like certain tools that are not designed with left handed people in mind, or the way a door opens to an entrance etc. It seems weird to watch a southpaw box a rightie or the position a leftie assumes to write with a pen. Are you saying left handed people are queer?.

People try rationalize actions that are simply not natural. Since its not natural than it has to be a choice. Its no more shameful than making any other choice. By the way, being left handed is something I was born with not my choice.

left handedness is determined at birth, whereas homosexuality is a choice. The people should all be accepted, but not the sin. Those who are gay say they were born like it cos it sounds like a genuine excuse for which they were uncomfortable with 'coming out about'

Are you asking why it is not wrong to be either?
Simple. People are different. Some were born left handed, some right. Some straight, some gay. Why should anyone care?

That is a weird question. What is wrong in being left handed (or gay for that matter)? Neither state demonstrates a moral wrongness or disability.

Do you mean that they are just slightly different to the the majority? Probably because that is what they are just slightly different, but still a human being with all the same feelings of emotion and pain and love as everybody else.
