About last night
Last night we had an interesting discussion. I’m posting the Wikipedia’s definition of "homosexuality." Take a look at the "contents" box. Also take a look at "abortion" and the "ethical aspects of abortion." Again, to properly discuss these topics one needs first to find out the facts provided by the different scientific disciplines: biology, medicine, sociology, psychology, as well as history etc. Remember that moral judgments need facts and reliable moral norms.
