Like it or not, religion runs the world. How many wars were NOT religion
based?

Lots.

Homosexual people cry discrimination all the time. I can't understand
this.

Then it's probably safe to say you're not a homosexual. Or at least, if you
are, you're still in the closet.

We have bars, and clubs where you go and have a drink with friends. Gay
people feel the need to have 'gay bars, and gay clubs'. What's wrong with
the bars and clubs that are already there, and what has a bar or club got
to do with your sexual preference?

well, for one...there aren't actually that many homosexuals out there.
Given that for straights or gays both, the bar scene is American culture's
primary meeting ground for sexual partners, it's useful to have a bar where
a homosexual can go and not waste time hitting on heterosexuals.

There are other reasons, including the fact that discrimination still exists
and so having a relative safe place to go is also useful. I think it's
silly to criticize homosexuals for seeking out specific places for
themselves. There are lots of good reasons, and many of those reasons have
to do with people being critical of homosexuals.

If I'm in a bar having a beer, I'll still drink with you. I don't expect
your sexual preference to be a required part of the conversation!

If you're at a bar to meet up with a sexual partner, I think that one's
sexual preference probably *would* be a required part of the conversation at
some point.
