The term homosexuality is described as a sexual orientation of romantic love, or sexual desire for someone of the same sex or gender. What’s wrong with being in love with someone that is your gender? The only defense that is used in a homosexual situation is the simple matter that it is said to be a sin in the biblical scriptures. This is supposed to make it immorally, and automatically wrong. A slang term for homosexuality is gay, which is dominantly used for homosexual males, while gay females, are named lesbians and queers. Because of words some people are treated below their human status, in a controversy called Homophobia. People have been beaten, hurt, and even killed because of their sexual orientation. If it is that wrong to be gay, then it’s wrong to be who you are, and how you see yourself.
If you are not a homosexual, what is the point of being against it? You are who you are in a lively manner, so it only shows how unopened minded you are, or how ignorant you are to love. If you are sexually attracted to someone of the same sex, it is simply your hormones reacting to who you’re looking at, whom you are touching, or whom you’re talking to. If you are a heterosexual, you will react the same except you will react to the opposite sex. Finally, if your sexual orientation is bisexual, you will react to both sexes. While bisexuals get refuted with words like confused, or sayings like “not sure”, a lot of people use bisexual as their orientation when they are truthfully homosexual to remain in their society.
In my opinion no one chooses his or her sexual orientation, maybe it’s your pre-teen to adulthood growth and all you see, endure and encounter during it. Plenty of people say it is how you were raised, but when you develop your own mind, your sexual attraction will come along too, leading you to your final and true orientation. It couldn’t possibly be a choice, because you have to be sexually attracted to that someone, if you’re not, you just can’t make your hormones react. In a more personal experience, my homosexuality did not pop into my head one day, I did not wake up one morning and say "I'm going to be gay!" It developed regularly just like anybody else throughout his or her teenage years. I can't and I won't fight my head, soul, or hormones to be straight. I tried that for years and it only made me miserable; I was scared to converse on relationships, I was a liar about having girlfriends. I avoided the main thing a black male talks about. Not to mention I’ve been big all my life. I was the biggest person in the room most places I went! I looked at girls the as other guys did with some form of attraction, but I also looked at guys saying, “I wish I looked like that”. That admiration and jealousy eventually or to better put, over years turned into attraction, or sex appeal through my eyes. What drew me farther into my sexuality is having female friends instead of male friends; because of my jealousy and attraction; I was avoiding males, trying to fight my homosexuality. Going on, I really don’t look at females for a sexual casualty even though I admire how a female can look. That’s what life turned me into.
To conclude, I’ve learned to accept the homosexual orientation and myself, I was so afraid to tell anyone from my mother, father to my best friend; actually any of my friends. I opened out with “if a person can’t accept you after knowing you, then you were no one to them to begin with.” It is simply pointless to make yourself the judge of another character, if you hate or don’t believe in gays because of a biblical scripture, then read what else is in that book, you are not the judge, and know that God only wants us to be happy, so stop lying to yourself because that’s another sin. Homosexuality is not as bad or evil as people in this society make it.
