Homosexuality as a Religion?

[badgeguy]

Ok, I KNOW I will be blasted for this by some, and I will preface this whole thing as "This is just a thought in my head one day."

I have worked in the entertainment industry all my life, so I have been around all types of people, so I am speaking with good knowledge on WHAT homosexuality is. This discussion is not being started to argue if its "right or wrong".....thats for a different topic.

As the title suggests, I have often wondered if when homosexuality started becoming "mainstream" so to speak, or more out in the open and something that has become a national "hot button" especially rights of individuals on a civil level such as marriage and benefits of partners.....

I ask this question, what if homosexuality were a religion? I am beginning to think that maybe if the groups of people who are of the G, L, Bi persuasion, had claimed it all to be part of a faith or religion, then there would have been no issues in this country about marriage or other rights issues that are being fought for. As in this country we have the right of Religious Freedom, although civil rights are harder to win.

On this planet, and especially in this country we have hundreds of groups who claim to be of a religious faith, all who have their own practices, and so, why not a homosexual religion?

Ok, thoughts anyone?
