In different countries of various beliefs and culture, people with

homosexual behavior are often being subjected to prejudice and


discrimination. In comparison with minority groups, who are one of the
common topics of prejudice, this group of homosexual people are also
subjected to stereotyping. Sexuality orientation can be classified further into
three main topics: Homosexuality, Bisexuality, and Heterosexuality.
Homosexuality refers to sexual behavior/actions or seductive attraction
among people of the same sex. The word ‘gay’ is commonly being referred to
a male homosexual, whereas ‘lesbian’ is designated for female homosexuals.
Simple stereotyping can be thought as all gay are feminine and all lesbians
contain machismo hormones within them. Some even have misconceptions
and labeled the gay as the main culprit for transmission of sexually
transmitted disease or AIDS, considering them having a higher chance of
contracting these diseases. In this modernized and civil society, it will be of
much appreciation if homosexuality is much understood better by the public. If
this discrimination continues to cycle around, it will cause a deleterious effect
on the homosexual person. This may eventually lead to escalation of suicidal
cases or further deterioration on the mental health. This is a topic that we
should pay attention to. Homosexual discrimination can be found in anywhere
or in any working sector. A homosexual man who has a kind soul within, have
no exceptions either, he may have to bear the brunt of discrimination. This
shows how typical people possess adverse thinking against homosexuality.

Prejudice and discrimination against homosexuality will bring a vicious cycle


effect to the society as it can be commonly identified as a talking topic for
adults, or it may be a mistaught lesson for a child. Basically, chances of
stereotypically thinking and discriminating against homosexual persons can
happen in everyday conversations between people. Living in this society,
people only know how to discriminate homosexuality as they tend to follow the
majority. Here in our country some might say that “Gays are disgusting!”

The most pertinent fact is that gays are pursuing the only kind of life that can
make them happy. Sex, after all, is a particularly strong urge, and few people
can be happy without satisfying their sexual needs. But we should not focus
solely on sex. Homosexuality is not merely about who you have sex with; it’s
about who you fall in love with. Gay people fall in love in the same way that
straight people do. And, like straights, gays often want to be with, live with,
and build a life with, the person they love. To say that homosexuals shouldn’t
act on their desires is thus to condemn them to frustrating lives. It should be
added that gay people cannot avoid the frustration by choosing to become
straight. Both homosexuals and heterosexuals discover who they are, once
they reach a certain age; nobody decides which sex to be attracted to.

Why do people oppose gay rights? Some people think that homosexuals pose
a danger to others. Often the charge, whether stated or not, is that gay men
are likely to be child molesters. There have, for example, been several
campaigns in America to get gay public schoolteachers fired, and the fear of
pedophilia has always loomed large in these discussions. Con- gresswoman
Bachmann exploited this fear when she said of gay marriage, “This is a very
serious matter, because it is our children who are the prize for this
community—[the gay com- munity] are specifically targeting our children.”
Such a fear, however, has never had any basis in fact. It is a mere stereotype,
like the idea that blacks are lazy or that Muslims are terrorists. There is no
difference between gays and heterosexuals in their moral characters or in
their contributions to society.

The most common objection to homosexuality may be that it is “unnatural.”


What should we make of this? To assess the argument, we need to know
what “unnatural” means. There seem to be three possibilities.

First, “unnatural” might be taken as a statistical notion. In this sense, a human


quality is unnatural if most people don’t have it. Being gay would be unnatural
in this sense, but so would being left-handed, being tall, and even being
immensely nice. Clearly, this is no reason to criticize homosexuality. Rare
qualities are often good.

Be it homosexual or heterosexual, we still come together and live as one and


everyone deserves the right to be treated equally.

Even parents need to be taught that being homosexual is not a crime nor is it
wrong, and that it is a part of life.

The reason why I currently am doing this is because I feel like there’s
something wrong inside me that’s basically everything. When I say that I am
falling apart trust me I really am falling apart
