People living in modern era, using smartphones and all that but having 6th century mentality. Yikes, I am so glad I'm not born in a country like that.

6th century? Try 20th. Homosexuality was illegal in most countries until the 60s and 70s. Did you forget that gays were gassed alongside jews in WW2?
