    The topic that I was assigned was the affirmative side of gay adoption and initially I thought it would be a nightmare to defend. The only background knowledge that I had on the subject was that it was becoming a more common thing. It was also hard to defend because I was for gay adoption before I was assigned this role. So the question I kept asking my self was how to defend a topic from a different perspective then I am for. Another concern I came across in this topic was trying to stay away from religious standpoints on the topic and using factual information.…

    In the early 1900s, most people could not fathom the concept of people liking the same gender. In fact, there was not even a name for being gay or lesbian. People in this era were just expected to be with the opposite gender and to not question sexuality as it was just the way of life. When there finally was a word for liking the same gender, it was labeled “homosexuality” and was treated like a disease. The ones who identified as gay or lesbian often denied it because it was their only choice.…

    Homosexuality and the Christian lifestyle do not belong together. Yet all those who participate in the homosexual lifestyle make excuses for their actions and some even justify them by twisting God’s revealed truth. True believers in Christ ought to recognize and promote that this sinful lifestyle defies the laws of nature, biblical relationships, and social norms. We are all born in sin and have innate desires that are rooted in our hearts to do the wrong thing. As Christians, we are called to fight against those desires and pursue a life that honors and glorifies God.…

    James Aist (2013), author of The Christian Post starts his article out by saying, “Born gay” is, in fact, a hoax of mammoth proportions that has been accepted by many institutions, organizations and individuals in our culture, even by those in the “Christian church” and even by many apparently “born-again Christians” (Aist). Right from the beginning, Aist is dismissing the fact that people are born gay without offering any contextual evidence to prove his point. Aist later goes on to cite a study conducted and published in the Journal of Biological…

    “Being gay is a choice” is a phrase that is often used by right-wing conservatives, but what if it isn’t so. Is it possible that the “gay gene” that causes humans to have same sex attraction exists in conjunction with pheromones? It is possible for there to be some genetic factor with pheromones that causes homosexuality at a minor scale compared to heterosexuality. Pheromones in humans have long been a mysterious concept with little evidence to prove, although it is present in other animals of the animal kingdom. Discovering if the “gay gene” actually exist in conjunction with pheromones would be fundamental to society because it would help ease discrimination on those of the LGBT community by providing scientific proof that being gay is not a choice.…

    In many of today’s societies, heterosexuality is seen as natural and superior to its opposite of non-heterosexuality. Willis (2007) states that “oppositional and hierarchical concepts of sex and gender are crucial for making heterosexuality appear as the dominant and ‘natural’ configuration” (p. 185).

However, without the presence of non-heterosexual categories, the concept of heterosexuality would not exist. Hicks (2008) describes that “ simply pointing out that someone is heterosexual, however, draws upon and reminds us that other possibilities are present” (p. 67).…
