A UKIP MP is back in the news again. The Independent newspaper has quoted the MEP Roger Helmer: "People should be able to dislike gay people like they do different types of tea"
I am not a homosexual but I see no reason to be prejudiced against someone who is.Whether you like or dislike someone should not be compared to whether you like a particular tea or not; this is an absurd concept.
Homosexuality does not represent any sort of threat to our society. It is perfectly possible for the heterosexual majority to accommodate the social needs of everyone except the violent or child molesters. A homosexual is no more prone to indulge in cruel, criminal or discriminatory behaviour than anyone else.
Often it is not possible to tell whether someone is a homosexual or not. Sometimes, I have been very surprised when a friend or colleague has revealed their sexuality to me. Many homosexuals are simply unrecognisable because they act just like most other members of society and do not try to impose their views about sex on anyone else.
Why can we not let people who are harmless and who are good citizens get on with their lives without constant criticism or condemnation?
