What's Morally Wrong With Homosexuality?

Sexual orientation is a hot topic that is constantly talked about in our society, especially the argument of homosexuality being biological or a choice. Lisa and Devon have very good arguments that I completely agree with. Choosing a homosexual life style comes with many hardships and difficulties you will face on a day-to-day basis and it is hard for me to believe that any one would chose a lifestyle like this if they were not born that way or could change how they feel; forcing me believe that homosexuality is NOT a choice but biological. There is a great deal of well-supported research that proves homosexuality is biological with evidence of hormone levels discussed in the article “Homosexuality and Biology” by Chandler Burr (1997) Lisa cited earlier. Sexual orientation is not something you can choose just like you cannot choose your eye or hair color, you are just born with it. And besides, why does someone have to justify why they like a specific gender? Why should it matter when it doesn’t affect anyone else?

No one controls who they fall in love with and no one can explain why they are attracted to certain individual. Homosexuals should not have to explain why they love who they love. Love is a beautiful thing and we need more of it in this world. Who you chose to love should not be judged upon but should be celebrated. With divorce rates sky rocketing for heterosexuals, who are we to tell homosexuals they should love a specific type of person or gender when it clearly is not working for us? We should embrace love and happiness no matter what shape or form it comes in.

I think the main issue involving homosexuality is that people constantly say it is morally wrong and threatens society because it goes against the norms. But there is no logical explanation to how it is morally wrong. I found a great video on You Tube that discusses the moral issues behind homosexuality. I think he does a great job covering all the major moral topics that come up with the subject of sexual orientation and homosexuality. This video allows you to understand the other side of the argument and see how absurd it is to say homosexuality is morally wrong. The video gives great examples on resolving misconceptions of homosexuality and think it is important for everyone to listen to how homosexuals feel and respond to threats against their sexual orientation. I really like the part in the video where he talks about people only focusing on the sex issue with homosexuals, not any other aspects of their lives or relationships. Sex should not define homosexuality, how someone lives their life and treats others should be focused on.
