The mental, emotional and physical completion of the human race is generally achieved through the combination of a male and a female. LGBT however is based on a refutation of this obvious fact, and goes against the laws of procreation. While some countries have legalised LGBT many still consider it abnormal, irrational, unethical and unacceptable to their religious principles, culture and tradition.
