Does it seem as if everywhere you turn you are faced with the issue of homosexuality?  Are there more gay people today than in ancient times?  No, statistically the percentage has always been very steady, and has historically remained less than 10% of the world's population (10% of men are gay and 5% of women are lesbian).  I believe gay issues are more prevalent, and gay people are more publicly outspoken today because our conscience has been seared for too long and we, as a society, have become lazy in the safety and ignorance of the I Know. 
 
Consequently, we are in need of awakening, progress and evolution.  This awakening will come only by way of confrontation and by asking some very difficult questions.  I will endeavor to be objective on this most divisive and subjective of issues over the next few installments of the Weekly Eureka.  Yet I will also dare to share the truth that many have refused to see and acknowledge.
 
What truth is this?  The truth that there may not be any clear answers.  And, if there are no certain answers, this undying issue may be less a search for truth and more a test of our love for our fellow man.  I believe that this issue has come out of the closet - so to speak - at this point in history so that the human spirit might evolve more inclusively and so that the ignorance and intolerance of religion might dissolve permanently.
