Let me start off by saying i do not support violence against homosexuals and i do believe we are all free to make our own choices. with that said i'd like to address this 'epidemic'.
Evidence of homosexuality is dotted throughout our history, from Bible days to mid evil times when soldiers would have sex with each other as a form of bonding. however the lifestyle has managed to remain taboo until recently, when the gays launched their acceptance campaign.
And that's fine, we all want acceptance. But is it ok to bully people into it? Aren't we all still allowed to have our opinions? freedom of speech? Our reggae artist are having their work permits revoked for voicing their opinions on the homosexual lifestyle, while there are books and websites dedicated to teaching people how to kidnap and rape children that are yet to have their work permits rights revoked.
And yes I've heard it a million times, " people dont chose to be gay. they are born gay". But there are alot of people who are 'born' a certain way that are outcast in society. take for example the child molester. There have been several accounts where they claim to be born that way. Give them any grown woman (or man)and they cant get aroused, they want children. Its all they have been attracted to. They were 'born that way'. But does society make room for their birth defect? are we to tolerate them as well?
Yes, i did call it a birth defect. after all its an unnatural thing. Why not correct it like we do with other birth defects? A child is born with autism or bipolar disorder we seek treatment for their disorder. Have we ever thought about giving homosexuality the same approach?
And what about those that CHOOSE to be gay, because of some past experience with the opposite sex or as i have seen happen, to be apart of the in crowd. Shouldnt they be well awear of the stigma attached to the lifestyle. And quite frankly they are way too easily offended. Here in jamaica with our patois we wont be walking around saying "that homosexual" and its not like we are telling a lie when we say "battyman". if u walk around calling heterosexual females "penis girl" i doubt they will be offended.
The biggest question i have about the lifestyle is; if you are a homosexual man u should be attracted to men, so why do they go for men that act and look like females? And shouldnt the women be attracted to other women? So where does the butch fall into the lesbian society?
Some of the violent acts towards gays are provoked by their behaviour. if you are a gay man and you dress up as a female and go to a party and trick a straight man into sexual acts, when he finds out its a man he will not be happy about it. He might chose to show this by beating 'him' to a pulp. if u want to be gay find other gay men or suffer the consequences
.
Lastly id like to adress the medical concerns. i have seen countless documents on the homosexual lifestyle. particularly for men. they are very permistious and the sex is hardly safe. they have circuit parties where they take drugs and have sex for days at a tiem. A new strain of HIV has been developed 'on the circuit' that is the most deadly strain yet and does not respond to medications. and for those still in the closet, they put their wives/girlfriends at risk. I am weel awear that this risk is real regardless of your sexual orientation, but it is common knowledge that this risk increases with being homosexual.
With that being said, and being a christian and raised with certain values i have no tolerance for certain things, homosexuality beings one of them and i have no intention of being bullied into acceptance. there is a stigma attached to every lifestyle you choose. Christians are teased about being 'Jesus freaks". That is just something they have to live with. We are living in the free world. Make the choices that are suiting to you. But don't think the whole world should back you up on it or even understand.
agreed that people should fight for their rights but as i said i dont have to agree, tolerate or understand it.
ReplyDeletei was not putting them on the same level in terms of degree of crime but in terms of the inability to help but be attracted to who they are attracted to.
true but some of the most popular rap songs are laced with lyrics about violence, drugs, date rape and other criminal activity so why target only the ones about homosexuality.
and as a christian i do not think fornication or adultery is right in the same way i dont think homosexuality is. and in some regions they are 'illegal'.
and i agree that "society's obsession with sex needs to end with those who know better."
Stimulating Article Ella, it most certainly aroused some thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI agree with most of your points, but now I am left to wonder if you do tolerate homosexuality.
i tolerate it in the sense that i dont support violence against homosexuals and everybody is entitled to their own opinion and being a physical therapist i wont refuse treatment of a homosexual. however i do not agree with acceptance being forced upon everyone
Deletewhich is understandable.I mean you Can't force people to accept you.
