Why is it important to treat homosexuals and transsexual individuals properly? After all, they are in a minority and do not have the ability to enforce their views and lifestyle on the majority. Well, survival of the fittest use of brute force is considered appropriate in a jungle. However, mankind, with its intelligence and sensitivities, believes itself to be somewhat superior the animals.

If the majority is always right, then Hitler’s attempt to wipe out the Jews may well be justified. Tyrants would have to be complied with because they may have the brute force on their side. It is only because mankind believes itself to be above such inane notions that treatment of homosexuals becomes very important.

An ancient saying explains how to assess and analyze an individual. Find out how he or she treats an inferior. If a person does not have the ability to accept that some persons may have different sexual preferences and priorities, it is a clear indication that he or she is not a civilized person at all. To be afraid of differences is to be afraid of what we are.

It is only because mankind has accepted the differences between individuals and yet survived that we have progressed so far. If each and every individual were to be brought up in the same manner and the same pattern, innovation, creativity and beauty from the world would have vanished.

Just take a look at the life around you-you will find that it is variety that makes it more beautiful. From logical to moral reasons, ill treatment of homosexuals is a blot on humanity.
