Because you feel gay is not Taboo or you say you are HOWEVER what is Taboo is sexual relations with your own sex..
Sodomy is a vile disgusting act it is worse then what women might do to each other..Sheep have been sodomized people and animals have been sodomized and it has always been to humiliate something..There is no love act in the act of Sodomy plain and simple and quite a bit of research has been done on this..

Something that is socially or ethically unacceptable. Some things that are taboo may change with time and culture. Other things tend to remain constant. A common taboo that generally seems to cross time and culture is incest. One that seems to change with time and culture is homosexuality.

Its a glamorous way of saying "perverted." Most people associated with some sick or sexual.
For instance, say you watch legal porn, people that don't consider you a pervert or they will say, that is too Taboo for me. In some cases it can be a double standard or gender based. If a man watches porn he's a pervert, when a women does, well Taboo kicks in.

A taboo is a behavior that repulses normal society. Some its piercings, some eating bugs, some its odd sexual behavior, or any thing else that "normal" people wouldn't like.

Gay is no longer taboo. Taboo is having sex with animals, children, retards, the elderly or corpses.... No, wait - that's just DISGUSTING.
