I agree. I also believe that homosexuality is immoral. But again, this
does not entail hate toward a homosexual, because for me to hate would
be for me to corrupt my will.
I am also not necessarily arguing for the Categorical Imperative. It
is the best conception of morality I have seen so far, but I am not
completely satisfied with it. I am not arguing for Kant's specific
moral ideas, rather for the need for trancendental morals rather than
moral relativism or straight nihilism.
