May I ask you how to you intend to  regulate the choice in a democratic state or the freedom of man before God.
While I am strongly against same sex union or public display of affection ,

I am glad you used the word "democratic", which means a system of governance that empowers the voice and choice of the people.

There are certain behaviors and relationships in the society which are not popular for the mainstream to adopt but ought to be vigorously reviewed in view of their benefits and efect on the collective community.

Democracy does not forbid religious morals. Neither does it advocate it. It leaves open for the people to steer their community in the way they desire, for or against religious practice or lack of. As long as majority agree to it then the voice of the community has spoken and democracy is practiced.

The question is in a multi-cultural society with diverse and inharmonious principles, who is majority?  

Is majority the few ruling class above the voices of the multitude they label minority; or should we say majority is a head count of any monolithic stance and integral presence?

In apartheid South Africa, majority was the ruling class which was far outnumbered by the voices of their victims.

In Jim Crow America, and prior to the civil rights act of 1964, the majority is white which is few when compared with the non-white.

The laws in American statutes have their roots in the desire of the ruling class to create a distinct physical and psychological barrier against the black people and stunt their expression and aspirations in competition for parity with the white man.

So when talking of democracy in a Nigerian context, we need to know who is majority and who is minority in a homoserxval discussion? It maybe about liberty for America to have homos and laws that protect homos but for us its not about liberty, the majority in our society desire to keep our moral codes and that rules does not have room for homo practices.

We should not confuse homo as a indicator for civilization, instead as a precursor for imminent damnatioin.

This is why I said for the collective (majority), a 16yr old in hetero is a far more adoptable way, and natural for it, than a consenting adults in an unnatural act of homo.

A 15-year-old Swedish boy has been convicted of child sex crimes for Being Intimate with his 13-year-old girlfriend.
In a ruling handed down on Tuesday, the Court of Appeal for Skåne and Blekinge overturned an acquittal issued by the Helsingborg District Court in May, the local Helsingborg Dagbladet (HD) newspaper reported.

Even though the boy claims he and the girl had consensual sex, the appeals court ruled that there is no proof that the sex was indeed consensual and that it's not clear the sex wasn't an attack against the 13-year-old girl.

According to the court, the age difference between the two teens is great enough that the 15-year-old boy must be held accountable for his actions.

The boy was charged with sexually exploiting a child after police learned that he and his 13-year-old girlfriend Were Intimate back in February.

The girl later divulged the affair to her mother, who then reported it to police.

The boy has denied committing any crime, claiming that he and his girlfriend were in love with one another and that the sex was completely voluntary.

However, the 13-year-old girl is of a different opinion, HD reported.

Previously, a divided district court had accepted the boy's version of events, taking the view that the age difference between the boy and the girl was insignificant and ruling there was no evidence that he forced the girl to Be Intimate.

At the time of the incident, the girl was 13 years and 10 months old, while the boy was 15 years and 5 months.

According to Swedish law, the age of consent is 15 and anyone who has sex with someone younger than 15-years-old can be charged with intimate exploitation of a child, or, in more serious cases, child violation.

Like the district court, the court of appeal was divided in its ruling, with one lay judge arguing the boy should have been acquitted.

Nevertheless, the court convicted the 15-year-old, sentencing him to community service.

Olumide,

Your neutral stance is understandable. You can influence thoughts and views better and get support if you will use few sentences to condemn what you detest in christianity and islam and plenty of sentences to advocate a better option to the detestable religious practices in convincing tones.

If you come across as venting, which you did, you will get defenses instead of reflections from your audience.   

The question is in a multi-cultural society with diverse and inharmonious principles, who is majority?
