Why Is Tal Como Somos Unethical

Why is it difficult for many Latino families to accept homosexuality and the roles of women? Homosexuality could be seen as a wrong doing to many and a normal doing to others but why do many people believe that homosexuality is unethical? Are there reasons as to why it makes it an unethical behavior? In the documentary Tal Como Somos, it examines the lives of six Latino GBT (Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) men and women.
