Eventually though, old traditions and believes will die off as time grains these into fragments of sand in the pile of old civilization, which is now nothing more then writing on walls, or text books...
Very very few ways to interpret this segment. This is not talking about homophobia, this is talking about "old traditions and believes [sic]" and "old civilization" in general. I did not misinterpret what you said, you either wrote it without thinking first and gave off a faulty impression of your own opinions, (your fault,) or you actually MEANT it, (also your fault.)

In my opinion the biggest obstacle in moving on for society's purpose is the idiocy that erupts from "to-the-bullet" traditions. Its both those who ignore tradition and those who don't allow it to progress that cause any different ideas to be an issue. Let's face it, life is never ever going to stay the same. And accepting that homosexuality will not be accepted is very close minded. As for homosexuality itself, who cares? Feelings are feelings, the only reason they are gay is because they want to be happy and have a partner in life regardless of what society thinks.
I could care less of who people go to bed with, flamboyancy annoys me. >_>;
That is incorrect. Conservatism in 3rd world countries such as the Middle East is linked with stifling of progress, oppression of the population, suppression of dissent, murder and terrorism. Conservatism in 1st world countries is not like that, and it has a legitimate role to play in politics.
Politics is a pendulum, which swings from right to left. One side has power for a while, it eventually does some naughty things, the other side gets voted in, it has power for a while, IT does some naughty things, and so on. Conservatives and liberals both have differing ideas on how the state should be run, but in reality both sides are essential to a healthy society. Liberals conceptualize change and put it through, conservatives safeguard tradition and ensure that valuable things about society are not discarded. If it wasn't for liberals, we'd have little progress, and valuable things that they introduce into society would not be given to us. However, if it wasn't for conservatives, all the BS things liberalism comes up with, (yes, it comes up with crap along with the good things,) would go unchecked, and our society would unravel. The WORST 1st world conservatives really can do is ensure that fairly little change comes while they are dominant. If you put that next to the check they play on the liberals, that's not so bad.
