[Replying to 'Homosexuality does not hurt people']Tell that to the woman who comes home to find her husband in bed with another man.

Mr. Chuckles, actually the problem is that sometimes gay or lesbian people have felt so compelled by society, their families, their religious beliefs, etc. to try to live their lives as heterosexuals that they DO marry someone of the opposite sex and even have children with their spouse, while trying to stifle their own natural homosexual attractions and desires. Often, what happens is that at some point they simply can no longer keep up the deception - deception of themselves and their spouses, children, and families. In cases like that, it's entirely possible for one spouse to come home and find their husband or wife in bed with someone of the same sex.
I've actually known people like this, who tried to live the hetero life for years but eventually just couldn't do it any more. My childhood next-door neighbor, one of whose kids was my best friend, finally came out as a lesbian once the kids were grown, divorced her husband and moved in with another woman. And a gay male friend of mine in adulthood tried to live as a straight man, even marrying and fathering a son before finally admitting to himself that he was gay. He divorced his wife, maintaining a decent relationship with her and with his son, and entered into a loving relationship with another man.
It happens.
If people and society would just learn to accept that not everyone is heterosexual, and learn to treat everyone the same regardless of whether they are homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual, then the tremendous pressure to "pretend" to be straight would be removed and there would be far fewer instances of someone's supposedly hetero spouse turning out to be gay/lesbian.
The problem isn't homosexuality, it's societal and religious repression.
She'd be just as hurt if he were with another woman.
Also, fucking another guy does not make you gay. Falling in love, in a true romantic sense, with another man makes you gay.
Women coming home, only to find that the man they are married to is homosexual?
One more reason for society to accept homosexuality as a completely normal thing, so gays never again feel pressure to enter a marriage they never wanted to go into. And one more reason for society to grant homosexual partners the right to marry.
Confused?
