Gay Right: The World Has Bigger Problems

"Wherever we stand on this gay marriage right debate, whether we are clad in a coat of many (rainbow) colors or in self righteousness, if we can only look thoroughly at the world around us and what desperately demands our greater attention we would realize there should not be any debate at all in the first place."

I have had very good behaved friends in my childhood years who were more comfortable in the company of girls. They talked like girls and walked like girls. That was when being "gay" meant being happy and the idea of a man kissing another man was not an existing idea. I later in my adulthood came to realize that one of those boys who was actually my closest secondary school friend was homosexual. He had not infected me with homosexuality, so the homophobic club should drop the fear of homosexual epidemic that could lead to Sodomic Apocalypse.
The reason I chose to hold this commentary is the recent SCOTUS decision to legalize same sex marriage that has sparked outrage both inside the US Christian community and the rest of the homophobic world (think Mugabe's marriage proposal to Obama). While this was going on, the world -or those who cared about it- was grieving for the multiple attacks by ISIS and their loyalists in three different parts of the world.
That same week, a kid in Charleston, USA sat for an hour in a Bible study meeting before pulling out his gun and killing nine of his fellow Bible students.
I might be wrong but I believed the world would rather have neighborhoods where men sex men than one where men kill men unprovoked.
Similarly, an orphan would rather be parented by two women or two men who sleep with each other than live on the street without love and shelter.
Right now, the world has poverty, diseases, homelessness, infant mortality, terrorism, tribal strife and global warming to fight. I do not think it wise to add homosexuality to it because in the end, homosexuality does not kill anyone.
