2. I disagree. Maybe there's a vast difference to you, but it looks a whole lot like semantics to me. I don't see a huge difference in "homosexuals should be jailed" and "homosexuals shouldnt be accepted." If homosexuality was deemed "unacceptable" by the whole of society then how do you think it would be treated? Any guesses?

It's semantics whether half of the population has private misgivings about the morality of homosexuality, and whether 90 per cent would make it illegal, and impose their beliefs with violent force? It's semantics whether your neighbour disapproves of your lifestyle but you can carry on with it anyway, or whether your neighbour can call the police on you for your private behaviour, and the police will drag you into prison where you will be beaten and flogged?
Homosexuality was decriminalized in most Western countries decades before most people thought it just as morally acceptable as heterosexuality. That's the whole idea of pluralism - people with different beliefs get along without trying to impose their beliefs on others. You seem to be wanting and expecting a world where everyone agrees in their heart about all issues of morality. Short of a totalitarian regime employing gene therapy in vitro, your utopia will never come to pass.
