The following information is from an article written by a homosexual. The essay was very interesting to read and I would like to share some of the main points that caught my attention:
- People believe that homosexuals only base their relationships on sex. This is a common misconception. We as homosexuals appreciate more then just the sex; maybe more so then straight couples. We look on the inside and see one’s personal attributes and personalities. If we did not look at these things then why wouldn't we be looking at someone of the opposite sex? We see things that only we could accept as being “normal”. Attraction to another person sexually is only a minute part of the equation. Straight people should try to understand this by looking at their own relationships with those they love.
- Another statement is that people attempt to say that gay marriage should not be legalized, and that heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time and should not change. These conservatives are people who want everything to stay the same and keep things the way they have always been. They are ignorant to the fact that times have changed and with that needs to be advances in society. Countless woman are thankful for change. If it were not for change, woman would still be property and will not be able to work and be in the military. Interracial marriage and divorcing was finally made illegal. Without change, our world would be a socialist country with no spontaneity or originality. Homosexuality is just an issue of acceptance, why can our society face this issue.
- Some people believe that children cannot succeed without a female and a male influence as parents. Single parents thrive in our societies just as well as male and female parents do. Then they say that having gay marriage will encourage people to be gay. This is not always the case. People are “programmed” to think for themselves, people have their own their own will and their main goal in life is to be happy. People will do what will benefit them in their life. Hanging around intellectual people will not always cause you to become an intelligent person.
- People think that gays spread A.I.D.S. It is a proven fact that straight people spread it more. Take a look at the statistics in Africa. They show that heterosexuals spread this deadly disease more than homosexuals.
