On issues of sexuality, like religion it is almost impossible to get an ideal point of view that is universally acceptable as they are based on the inherent rights of individuals to express themselves.
Society is "evolving" and so is the general perception of sexuality. The only view which is universally acceptable is the "PERSONAL" view which applicable only to the individual. This on the other hand does not stop us from taking a stand and expressing our views. The only last beacon of commonality which is binding on all still remains the judiciary, which though is supposed to be impartial, is also "EVOLVING".
My views on sexuality & marriage are traditional not relative because they will never change (but they remain personal). This stance does not preclude the fact that the issues do have societal implications. Using the argument on murder and the law; only a few years back euthanasia was equivalent to murder/criminal homicide. Today it is legal in Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Switzerland. This does not make it morally right, neither does it change my view or that of others (like minded), but it does have societal implications. If I practice in any of these locations I have the option to opt out (a personal choice) but that does not change the legality of the issue. This is a typical example of our “evolving society”, where personal responsibility is key to maintaining and sustaining morality.
It is indeed impossible to get an ideal point of view that is universally acceptable, no matter how much we wish or whine.
