Agreed. Christian fundamentalism in this nation (and fundamentalism of any religion throughout the world) is a big reason for many of the problems faced by humanity and the reason that despite the progress of man technologically, we're still a child-race as a species. The hypocrisy that goes with Christian fundamentalism (it's horrible to have an abortion, but perfectly acceptable to blow up an abortion clinic or to nail a gay man to a fence or to kill thousands of Iraqis over wounded pride and oil) is probably the most disgusting aspect of American society.
And despite what Christian fundamentalists will say, "normal sexuality" is anything but in American culture and that's long been the case. It's just narrow-minded and ignorant denial that has led many to believe that what they consider "good" or "normal" is actually so.
That's not to say that sexuality shouldn't be handled in the context of the role-play, if appropriate. That is to say, if there are cultural taboos in place, they should be considered when role-playing. But as far as portraying sexuality in role-play, it's something that is up to the individuals concerned, but it's nothing that a PC should feel obligated to do or not to do based on someone else's belief regarding it.
Whatever floats your boat.
Take care,
Jason
