Anybody know where Ghana has its embassies in the U.S.?

Unfortunately Ghana isn't the only one guilty of extreme homophobia. Iran executed two teenagers for being homosexuals, Israel outlawed a pride parade in Jerusalem, and the United States is looking to ban same-sex marriage altogether. If it weren't for those texts written thousands of years ago I don't think we'd have this problem.

I think this should be in the 'Discrimination' subforum

What texts written thousands of years ago?

The Bible, the Torah, the Quran, etc. It seems as though every religion is homophobic.

Even India still has homosexuality down as illegal. Although, admittedly, reform is on its way.
