   No it cannot change except in the mind of a deranged person.  Encouraging   
   such behavior is not beneficial to a strong society.   
      
   The Roman Empire was one of the greatest civilizations in civilized   
   history.  It lasted over 1000 centuries and was destroyed in less than 100   
   years when homosexuality became "accepted".  Homosexual treachery was the   
   key factor in the demise.   
      
   Embrace homosexuality and their foolishness at your peril.
