I have not seen the laws in the 69 countries that "make being gay a crime," but my sense is that most laws against sexual immorality ban the behavior, not the person. I expect that the laws in question would consider the homosexual condition to be an objective disorder for which a person ought to be treated. Civilized countries treat alcoholism, drug abuse, depression, etc. as conditions afflicting a person; but the person as such is still valued for his inherent human dignity.
