ok. so now everyone who is gay is insane? da Vinci? Alexander the Great? some of the best minds in the world belong to homosexual people.

Since when were they gay?
I tend to see that Europe harbors more racism than America. Yes, many AMericans are quite "ignorant" no joke about that (I used to be one of em back then) but that is the same case all over the world. America solely can NOT be blamed for a huge racism issue. Go visit Denmark, India, Sudan, or Indoneisa (and many more) you may find lots more racism. But yes, America is not perfect, we have to work on the ignorance and intolerance problem, hence we need more education.
AHHH THE HORROR!!!! :eek:
I'd be confident in debating you about that.
America is perhaps the most ignorant and racist country in the world, hands down.
There is a substantial amount of evidence proving that both Leonardo DaVinci and Alexander the Great were in fact homosexual.
You'd be surprised about how many extremely influential historical figure are actually proved to have been homosexual or to have at least to have had homosexual relations on more than one occasion.

As Apfaq so eloquently stated, most of those were accused or suspected of being gay, but never was it proven that they were.

homosexuality doesn't magically come out of boredom with the opposite sex. and you can't really prove that anyone is gay if they are dead. it is the same with history - most of our facts come out of calculated guesses we can't prove.

I totally agree - Europe is much more open than us, even with the recent Parisian riots.
