I think they should do something about it and another way they shouldnt.. Its immoral to me, but if they want to Nom Nom on the same sex, let it be.

That’s a violation of human rights and discriminates against a particular group.

Everyone has a right to be in love. Why should it matter to you what they do in the bedroom? So they think of things a little differently, how does that make them any less of a human. They still deserve human rights, just like the rest of us. They are regular people, with a different taste in who they like. It shouldn’t bother you because it has absolutely nothing to do with you. It has been scientifically proven that it isn’t something that people CHOOSE to do. They are born that way. Live and let live. It doesn’t in any way physically, and it shouldn’t emotionally, involve you. So just leave it alone and let everyone live their own lives.
