After reading the article by Deepak Chopra entitled “Spirit of Romance” I evaluated that which I called love and basically went along with the steps to see if I had experienced Deepak’s definition of love and romance. Love has no gender. So therefore I believe that it can be applied to same sex as well as heterosexual love. I do not understand why we place so much emphasis on heterosexual versus homosexual. We place ourselves in gender limited boxes and anyone who defies those rule and regulations for gender are cast out and rejected. We base gender on the sex of a person, so what do we say for those who are characteristics of both sexes? Do we automatically cast them out of our society merely because they do not look as normal as we expect them to? Love is a feeling that can be associated with anyone no matter the gender. The fact that we take so much of our time judging other people takes away from what really matters most of the time. It’s high time people in general stop focusing o what really doesn’t count in the long run. Does who a person love constitutes grounds to determine whether or not that person is a good citizen or a bad one? The four phases of romance which include attraction, infatuation, courtship, and intimacy can happen to human of any gender. Needless to say that this doesn’t mean that they can be of any age. To me, the only thing that should matter when it comes to love is a person’s age as well as their mate. I believe this so that we can prevent pedophiles from thinking that they are in love with a four year old. And age should only matter up until a person is considered an adult and then after that they are free to do whomever and what so ever they please. But homosexuality versus heterosexuality should not matter when it comes to love. I don’t believe that anyone can tell a homosexual couple that they aren’t in love any more than you can tell a heterosexual couple the same thing. I’ve seen some examples where people would think that a homosexual relationship is different from a heterosexual one. It doesn’t differ because both couples can experience cheating, arguing, intimacy and etcetera. Hopefully we can one day reach a state of peace where who a person is in love with doesn’t generalize their personality or characteristics.
