Same Sex- Reflection 19

What are my thoughts to the cause of homosexuality? This topic is one that called for a lot of thinking and evaluating of beliefs and values that are of my family. Not necessarily mine considering I have yet to really develop my own thoughts on many of the things I was raised to believe. First and foremost, homosexuality has been around for a very long time because it is even spoken about in the bible which is one of the oldest written literary works known to man. It is said that ONE of the reasons that Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed was because of homosexuality not to mention all of the other sexual immoralities that caused the city’s destruction. Some people fail to understand that homosexuality was not the only reason for the city’s destruction. This is only what we have come to know because of what someone else written. With that being said, we cannot determine the truth as to why the city was destroyed. The bible is a piece of work that many authors collaborated stories and made No one knows what was really said and done in those times because there isn’t anyone who is alive to tell their story and even if there was, it would be so many people speculating that it would be less of a hassle to just disregard what is said. I believe that people of the same sex that seek a relationship with each other was defined as something that is supposedly “bad” out of fear by the general population. People are always afraid of what they do not know and this is just an example of that statement. People place too much of an emphasis on gender and gender roles. Feelings can develop for whom ever, who are we to judge someone and tell them they are wrong simply because they are a part of the minority group? My views on homosexuality were impacted by the study of this topic only in a sense of enlightenment. The new information learned allows me to keeps my stance that people should have the right to be with and love whomever they please. It shouldn’t be society’s prerogative to place itself in the lives of each of the inhabitants only to try and rule them with the negativity in their words and actions. As for thinking what the actual cause for homosexuality may be, I do not have a stance. I’m not sure that it was caused by anything in particular. Saying that it has a cause makes it seem as if it is a disease or something. I’d like to believe that homosexuality has always been around and that people have always chosen their lifestyle and some people even have their beliefs that they were born the way they are which is not highly unlikely being that people are also born straight.
