How is it not a minority? They are less than 50% of the popualation. They are persecuted by many "straight" people so that they can feel better about their own suppressed homosexual urges.
The idea a gay person is not a minority (discriminated against) is an interesting one. A black, asian or mexican is generally visibly non-white and thus can be discriminated on appearance when they go out in public. A gay person can actually avoid discrimination simply by doing nothing. They have to tell someone they are gay in order to risk discriminaton.
Most people are more so comfortable with gay members of society if the gay members do not tell anyone of their preferences.
It is often the most vocal anti-gay people who are closeting gay feelings.
your effort to stand up for the oppressed gays of the world just took a couple of steps back with that argument.
Throughout the animal kingdom a percentage of animals are homosexual. It is a natural part of the world. You'd see a lot more gayness in the world today if it were more socially acceptable, I assure you.
Look at the golden age of Greece.
