My Thoughts on Homosexuality
By Anonymous
To give you a little background on the writer of this piece, I will
say this. I have no siblings, relatives, or close friends who are
homosexual, though I have sporadically come into contact with homosexuals
through work and through other social interaction. I certainly am
no authority on homosexuality nor am I one who spends much time
thinking about it. I do, on the other hand, have theories and opinions
regarding it based on personal life experiences and from what I
have derived from television interviews with homosexuals and from
various articles I have read.
First of all, I think homosexuality is more of a genetic disposition
than a choice that is made. Surely there are exceptions though.
I do believe that some practicing homosexuals could feasibly be
driven by a fetish or combination of fetishes and really not be
true or average homosexuals. I will say that I believe that the
average homosexual probably feels very much like they are a man
trapped in a woman's body or vice versa. They are simply acting
on the feminine or masculine emotions and feelings that they are
having without regard to their physical sex.
Does it really matter if they are homosexuals by genetics or by
choice? I say "no." In my opinion, consenting adults have the inherent
right to do as they please with each other as long as it does not
negatively affect anyone else. For the record, I extend this right
to homosexuals and heterosexuals alike. If in the privacy of your
own home, you and your same sex mate want to get naked, rub barbecue
sauce on each other, and howl like coyotes while having sexual contact,
that is certainly your prerogative and I will form no opinion about
whether you are "good"or "evil" based on that information alone.
Are homosexuals "spawn of Satan" or "sinners in the eyes of God?"
Who knows or can possibly know? The very existence of God & Satan
is itself in question and to my knowledge they don't do any public
speaking on this topic. It would be just as accurate to state that
homosexuals are "spawn of Santa Claus" or "sinners in the eyes of
the Easter Bunny." I'll punctuate that thought here to avoid getting
off into a totally different debate.
Do I understand the thought process of a homosexual? Absolutely
not. I can't even imagine deriving any pleasure from any sexual
contact with another person of the same sex. Actually it gives me
a slight chill to think about it. That I don't have the capacity
to understand it, does not make it wrong. Everyone is different.
As a heterosexual who tries to do the right thing, I will be tolerant
of others. I will strive to understand and accept any homosexual
regardless of whether he or she is genetically or psychologically
motivated. Conversely, I will never condemn or alienate him or her
either. Homosexuals are just people....like me in many ways, unlike
me in others. I have no more right to live my life than any other
human being, homosexuals not excepted.
