Regarding Larry Craig

If we lived in a world were homosexuality was regarded as a natural part of life, would Larry be in the position he is today?

If gay relationships, including marriage, were integrated into societal constructs, supported by law and culture, would anyone have the need to hide in the closet?

Would the closet disappear altogether?

If religion embraced its queer disciples, would internal homophobia cease?

Would suicide decrease?

Would hate crimes decline?

I'm not naïve enough to think all maladies associated with LGTB repression would simply be eradicated by a society that never made a distinction between straight and gay in the first place.

But I can't help wonder what problems might be alleviated if we did.
