Response to "history repeats itself"

I believe that in life we are drawn towards the things we are supposed to do... the locution "everything happens for a reason" comes to mind...

In my 'brief' (i like to amuse myself) life, i have always found myself quite literally standing between 2 parties (or opposing viewpoints) encouraging dialogue and tolerance. I have a feeling I'll be drawn into doing this a lot more in my coming years....

I admit i am poorly schooled in matters that require knowledge of Islamic law, however, i am thoroughly surprised when i see so-called learned scholars and well-educated people react with alarming levels of homophobia.

The way i see things, the following may occur,

Science will prove that homosexuality is hardwired. The rift between science and religion will widen.
A debate will follow about whether it is, after all, a disease. Human rights activists will explode. Homosexuals will explode.
Others will want to "treat" it. they may try to genetically weed out the "gay gene" (of course human rights activists and homosexuals will-you got it-explode.
But let's say it is weeded out.. what will happen to the endangered species of homosexuals who are alive at the time... will we then ban them from indulging....
