Should We Legalize Homosexuality Wrong?

While the public is divided over same sex marriage, a majority of americans say that homosexuality should be accepted rather than discouraged, by society. The bible says marriage should be between a man and a woman; however, marriage is based on the love two people feel for each other. “ Homosexuality is wrong because the bible says so!” but doesn 't he bible also state “Love your neighbor and yourself” (Mark 12 : 31)? So why is it that some homophobes justify their homophobia with “the bible says so!” but forget about about all of the other sins, the sins being forgotten?

It does not hurt society or anyone in particular. The homosexuality lifestyle is highly promiscuous and brimming with disease. In defending words, context determines the meaning. Every individual has a mind of their own, but the way the world works as a society we were raised with then thought that same sex is not “normal”. “In the the years following independence from Britain, the death penalty was gradually removed from the former colonial laws. However, sexual behavior between persons of the same gender remained a criminal act throughout the United States until the 1960s” With that being said, the world is failing to remember that we do not live in a _____ world and we do not have to continue with this mentality on homosexuals. Likewise, the context of homosexuality acts are equally important. Behaviors always have context and homosexuality activity is in the context of one, a redefinition of sexual morals and two, its accompany promiscuity. If being homophobic back in the 60’s was a “criminal act”, being homophobic would not have been a problem that it is now. Why is it that gay men cannot love one another and show affection just like the rest of us heterosexuals? What makes them any different from us? The way that we raised, that is

    Andrew Sullivan's Views On Homosexuality

    Growing up in the latter part of Sullivan’s generation, I can relate to and agree to the majority of his perspectives of what is a homosexual. None the less, I can also relate to the evolving perspectives of homosexuality in today’s generation. Raising a homosexual child in today’s society has provided me with an updated insight into the ever changing homosexual culture. The combination of my experiences, as well as the accompanied sources, has provided me with an understanding of both perspectives represented within the materials. In relation to Sullivan’s excerpt, What is a Homosexual, I was able to make a connection to the topics of nature versus nature as well as how individuals learn to come to terms at a young age with their homosexuality.…

    Apa's Negative Attitudes Toward Homosexuals

    There are many scriptures that talk about loving one another. Galatians 3:28 says, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus” (Bible Gateway. “BibleGateway.” Leviticus 19:11 NIV - - Bible Gateway, www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians%2B3%3A28&version=KJV). Even if God didn’t intend for homosexuality, that doesn’t mean it's wrong.…

    Socrates And Euthyphro's Definition Of Piety

    When Socrates finds out that Euthyphro is charging his own father with the negligent homicide of a slave, he asks Euthyphro what Piety is. Euthyphro believes that prosecuting his father is his responsibility as he believes that he must act with piety. He declares that no matter what the case, even if it is family who killed someone who was not a relative, this is his first reasoning for the prosecution. Socrates responds to Euthyphro’s reasoning saying that this definition is too broad. Socrates was looking for an answer with more intention or a standard that everyone can follow in order to act pious.…

    Religious Liberties Research Paper

    This leaves us with no questions that homosexuality is not accepted in the bible. As we know it is not acceptable for Christians to start killing homosexuals as encouraged in the bible, the real question is what are the limits to religious liberties? The first amendment forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual’s religious practices. It is clear how the limits can bring a heated debate when even constitutional scholars disagree on what this and other statements in the constitution mean. This is often cited by people who want to be able to refuse service because as mentioned earlier, is more than clear that Christianity condemns homosexuality.…

    Viewpoint Of Homosexuality

    Biblical Viewpoint of Homosexuality When viewing homosexuality from a Biblical perspective, it is easy to see that the practice of having sex while being gay or lesbian is a sin. In Leviticus 18 verse 22 it says, "Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable" (Leviticus 18:22, New International Version). This verse makes it ever so clear that the practice of having sex with the same gender is sinful and is detestable to God.…

    Incarceration In Regeneration

    A classic case of two wrongs do not make a right, justifying a hateful act toward the individuals for a victimless crime is a preposterous solution. Illegalizing homosexuality is not a solution, it is a blanket ban that creates moral conflict within society and fractures the bond of military brotherhood. Homosexuality is not an act it is an identity and to say it is wrong is to say existence is futile, an identity can not wrong nor right, an identity that can't be erased by dehumanizing it, homosexuality will always be a part of society from the ancient Greek to 19th century Britain to the 21st…

    Gay Marriage Just Or Unjust?

    During Bill Clinton’s presidency, he signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) which allowed people to deny others services based on their religious beliefs. RFRAs, although the goal of them sounds beneficial, have too many complications from them which would prevent them from being successful. RFRAs create the question of whether or not these Acts are just or unjust. The issue of denying services to a person based on religious beliefs is an unjust excuse to discriminate, mainly against heterosexual people, because it is immoral, competes with the goal of self-improvement, and can indirectly nullify gay marriage. Denying people services allows there to be flexibility for people to make immoral decisions and to make the republic…

    Gay Marriage Should Be Banned

    One of the various reasons to argue for legalizing same-sex marriage is that gay marriage bans cause mental stress for lesbian, gay, and bisexual people, which in turn negatively impacts physical and mental health. Christopher Munsey mentions in his article “Psychology’s case for same-sex marriage” that doctor Ilan Meyer of Columbia University says, “The experience of living with stigma, always being vigilant and constantly needing to conceal your “authentic self” from disapproval and even violence exacerbates the pressures that everyone feels in daily life” (46). This suggests that by banning same-sex marriage, different amounts of social pressure are being pushed onto same-sex couples. On top of marriage rights being denied, homophobia and…
