I don't need to read a book on communism to understand why communism is good, when it is not. Same applies here, all the sympathy/empathy in the world will not help these poor confused people because they are going against their nature - and nothing is going to change that, except the truth. Look at the statistics on crime, life expectancy, drug addiction etc etc etc. I have a homosexual uncle who is more like my brother (3 years older) who I grew up with. I probably have more intimate knowledge on this subject than you do.
