Can we just get over it please. Being attracted to the same sex for some has been going on since the dawn of time. We're suppose to be the one with the brains, and yet we haven't figured that out yet? That tells me one of two things. We're either really stupid, or really selfish.

Gullible, really.

It's a political hit job pushed heavily in the 70s to give power to groups like the Birch Society.

It's easier to manipulate people if you can give them something in common to hate.

i think it is easy to think about this in hindsight but the feasibility of a same-sex partnership was low because of the extant economic need to produce children to have help with family business/farming etc. it is only with economic security and social welfare that such partnerships become more feasible and thereby as prevalent as they are today. when the primary purpose of a relationship is partnership/pairwise fulfillment and not producing children to maintain/advance one's economic status, there are more options available.
