Homosexuality And Its Effects On Society

The argument of homosexuality being considered moral or immoral has been an argument for as long as humans have been in existence. This argument has been viewed by philological experts and people all over the world for centuries and it continues to be a major argument today. The moral view of homosexuality has many arguments, but the arguments that are going to be mentioned are the normative ethics argument, the argument on why the moral law is true when it comes to homosexuality, and why homosexuality should be viewed immoral in today’s world.

Whether you believe it or not, every single person excluding no one is born with a sexual orientation. Most may have grown up in a family where you just knew that a man was supposed to be with a woman, and no one questioned it because it was “normal”. Then we have some people in society who were adopted by families all a crossed the world who found themselves in a home where the parents were of the same sex. We find again that we asked no questions because it was “normal”. Americans find themselves in quite the debacle these days because of prejudice. We find all sorts of Americans being prejudice whether you are a homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual. All the negative attitudes based on sexual orientation have seemed too taken over

Differences within people are what make each individual unique, and accepting differences is mandatory to live in a peaceful environment. Homosexuality is a widespread phenomenon that has been around for centuries. Discrimination against homosexuals is a critical issue that is affecting many lives around the world. Homosexuality is prohibited in some countries while it is encouraged and protected in others. Homosexuality is observed in the animal kingdom in a large umber of species, thus it can be concluded that it is a natural phenomenon and not a human deviation off nature. Some cultures accept and embrace homosexuality, while others are strictly against it; the cultures that are

Many people believe that all the troubles we have today with the treatment and rights of homosexuals, and the LGBT+ community as a whole, is something new. However even though not addressed, this group of people have been around since the beginning of time. And although it has never been proven, Walt Whitman was assumed to be a homosexual because of the feminine way he carried himself (as well as some questionable lines in his poems). Even before his time, however, there is a long line of LGBT figures and stories throughout all of history.

The issue of sexuality and human sexual orientation is an increasingly hot topic in the American society today. Although this topic has made an upward spiral in society today, there seems to be little talk about the history of sexuality. The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer community has been oppressed throughout history, making it difficult for them to feel safe in the public sphere where heterosexuality is the norm. However, pieces by George Chauncey and Ruth Hubbard have discussed ways in which the LGBTQ world was forgotten about in early society, and how it has evolved to be where it is now.

As an individual surrounded by family and friends who candidly advocate for the unwavering, equal rights of homosexuals in all aspects of life and community, it is difficult to understand why debate is still taking place. In God, Sex, and Politics: Homosexuality and Everyday Theologies, Dawne Moon provides an informative and thought-provoking ethnographic study of the divide within the United Methodist Church (UMC) as members grapple with and respond to homosexuality. She writes an articulate account of a twenty-one month period she spent at two congregations attempting to maintain communitas and transcendence amongst their members and avoid politics.

Although in today’s society, there are topics that can be very uncomfortable and numerous amount of people don’t necessarily think it is vital information unless it proves necessary. One of the most questionable issues among nowadays is homosexuality. God's creatures think that it is a sin or a genetic virus that we have to prevent. Some people believe that it is a personal choice or a right to be different. But on the other hand homosexuality is alive and people should be mindful of the tribal and tribulation that these people have to go through in their lives. The other factor that cannot be ignored is a that the religion we believe in claims that homosexuality to be one of the most unforgivable sins ever, but does religion imply that

Homosexuality can be tracked throughout history. In ancient Rome, philosophers, such as Socrates, were having sexual relations with their students. They believed it was a part of becoming a man. The Bible, one of the oldest books in literature, discusses homosexual practices among the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah. Some of the most influential people throughout history were discovered to be homosexual: Susan B. Anthony, William Shakespeare, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Tennessee Williams. Homosexuality is worldwide and has a global impact on society; it transcends borders, cultures, and governments. The homosexual society even bears its own international flag, a rainbow which signifies the bond between different people all over the world. The

Is it possible for our society to ever be blind to the many distinctions that separate us? According to history, every major civilization that existed from the Egyptians, to the Romans, and even the Ottomans, has oppressed at least one certain group due to a religion, sexuality, gender, race and many more. The present is no different, where people are judged based on race, gender, religion and sexuality. Homosexuality, has existed as long as humanity, yet it is still an issue today; Jewish people have suffered for centuries, nothing has changed for them. When a civilization is on the edge of failing, it seeks to blame a group in order to maintain itself. What really effects people’s judgments is religion, primarily due to its ability to feed

People think that you can only be exclusively heterosexual or exclusively homosexual because people think at birth that you are either one or the other by fate. They say there is little change to change your pattern in a lifetime. They say it is based on physical and mental qualities. You either have them or you don't, and that is what makes you who you are (p. 180).

In contemporary Western culture, choices about romantic love and sexuality are a critical aspect of individual self-definition. Whether someone is homosexual or heterosexual is thus also considered to be a crucial aspect of who he or she is as a human being. In previous eras, where individuals were married young, and entered into arranged marriages, this was not the case. Although people had same-sex desire, this desire was enjoyed outside of marriage. What was important for heterosexuals and homosexuals were the social obligations of partnership, children, and marriage, versus personal fulfillment in a romantic fashion.

Is homosexuality genetic? This a common question asked among society today. While some people argue that homosexuality is genetic, some people also believe that it is nature and not nurture. Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms. Genetic processes work in combination with an organism 's environment and experiences that influence development and behavior of the organism, often stated to as nature vs nurture. Trait inheritance of genes is still a main principle of genetics in the 21st century. Modern genetics has expanded beyond inheritance to studying the function and behavior of genes. I believe that homosexuality is nurture and not nature. I do not believe that people are born homosexual but that they are nurtured to be homosexual. I believe that their environment plays a significant role in their decision to be homosexual.

Regardless of the many experiments tested, there will still be an underlying mystery that correlates with the scientific explanation of this topic. We will never truly know why a person will become gay but we do know some situations that could alter a person’s sexuality.
