Default Homosexuality
I try to put myself in other people's shoes as often as I can. And the group I often do so is homosexuals. They way I do this is.... well you see I believe in the theory of multiple worlds or parallel universes where everything but the place and time is different (but I digress). I try to envision a world where it was not OK to be heterosexual and heterosexuals were discriminated against. I try to imagine where being homosexual was the norm and being straight was looked down upon. For those are homophobic (which is nobody here I gather) I use this argument. They usually stay quiet.

What do you think of this argument? Does it have merit?

I think that building understanding should come naturally to those who would preach love, and is respectable.

Please do.

This is a good route, I think, in the path to compassion.

Does that make you "light in the loafers"? Do you keep your gay shoes "in the closet"?
