RE: Egypt Jails Gay Men
In America, unless you live in a few select cities, It is culturaly criminal to be gay! Homosexuals are beaten, killed, raped etc all over the US. Young queers have to move away from their hometowns and disconnect from their families in order to live the lifestyle they were BORN to. Why? Because christian ideals are so deeply rooted in American culture that Americans who see themselves as not being religious still carry the attitudes of that religion!
If you think we do not live in a christian society, try practicing a religion that is not Judeo/christian in Amerca! You're "allowed" to but the attitudes of the people define the culture, and trust me, most non-christian religions must practice in relative secrecy!
