In 2008, 190 homosexuals were killed in Brazil, one every two days, known as a 55
percent increase on the previous year. The annual report on murders of homosexuals,
according to the Grupo Gay da Bahia from Brazil, says that 64 percent of the victims were
gay men, 32 percent were transvestites, and four percent were lesbians. This is absolutely
astonishing. Even though homosexuals have chosen an alternative lifestyle, they still
deserve to live a normal life without being victimized of physical harm for their choices.
Homosexuality is not "normal" in biological terms. If it were normal, then everybody
would be homosexual and that is self-evident. Homosexuals are actively striving to
convince us that homosexuality is "normal," but they confuse frequency and familiarity

a genetic quirk, a genetic mutation that causes a person to have a sexual identity that is
innately in contradiction with that persons physical self and with the natural instinct to
pass ones genes to the next generation through procreation with a person of the opposite
sex. "If science proves homosexuality is innate, is there any basis to deny gays equal
treatment "€" including the right to marry? But if scientists unravel the roots of sexual
orientation, will it some day be possible to "fix" people who dont fit the norms or abort
fetuses likely to be born gay?"€ (Doughton).
In our culture, the victim of gay bashing is considered the sinner. Thats why so often the
crimes against homosexuals go unpunished until someone is found beaten, burned and tied
to a fence post. "There is a pat psychological answer--gays are threatening to us because of
