Contribution to this week's overblown topic: On Choices in Sexual Orientation
In ancient Greece, whether you were active or passive defined your sexuality, not who you preferred it with. Unfortunatly, women could only be defined as passive while men had a choice. In another society a boy will blow a man as a rite of passage. This is not disgusting or deviant, just a fact of life. And one to be proud of, like when your dad hands you the keys to your own car, or passes you a beer. Homosexuality can be witnessed in every society, so it's a preference some people are born with. Just another fact of life.
In fact, "gay-ness" has only become a "problem" in the last century, when we no longer need a family unit to survive. This rocks our world! You mean we don't need women anymore? What'll happen to the "American" dream of owning a house, with a wife and kids? What'll the women do? I would almost say that women began aggression against homosexuality because while men could live independantly, early in the century women were still dependant on the family unit. And those attitudes have grown. Now women can be independant, and increasingly we see more acceptance of homo- and bi-sexuality(not claiming causality, just a sudden observation). We emphasize that marraige should be between a man and a woman because how will society ever survive if it is not? Thats like saying how will society survive if we don't all like red, white, and blue.
In response to this oppression of freedom of preference, because some of us just don't like red, there is a fad of blue coming out everywhere. "Coming out" has become ritualized and very popular. Really though, I brought more attention to this topic because I feel that it is getting too much. 
(follow that if you dare). There's an outburst of emotion over Dumbledore: why didn't JK say something in the books? Did she have to hide it? Did she have to say that? Why a main character? Dumbledore also likes sherbert lemons. I think I will make a blog on that. Actually, I think I just did.
Please flip to my next blog which will be about the oppression of any sexuality.

I do not think homosexuality is saying, "We do not need women anymore" or "We do not need men anymore". It's quite the opposite, after all homosexuals do need to be together just like how heterosexuals need to be together. But how do you define homosexuality and heterosexuality. These terms were invented. That's right, homosexuality and heterosexuality are inventions. You are correct about how homosexuality is a fact of life. It has been apart of life. No one ever talked about it. No one ever wanted to hear about it until the early 19th century.
Did you know that more and more people start coming out at a younger age? Many do it as soon as they hit puberty. I wonder if they truly know what it means to be a homosexual.
