Thread: Is Homosexuality a threat to culture or an upgrade to human freedom?

Recently I heard that Homosexuality has been legalized in India, and that sparked up a vicious argument with my buddies.
As I see it, legalizing it is a smart move on India's part. Instead of ruining the lives of people by abolishing homo, accepting it would create a healthier environment where people wouldn't be afraid to express who they are. The society we had a century ago is different from what we have now. The changes are a must and I see homosexuality as an evolution, and within the next 20 years, it'd be legalized in many countries including ours.

But few of my friends were against this. They kept saying how this would destroy our culture and create an instability.

What's your take on this?

Some people say that this is against nature. But for me, this is the nature of some special people among us . So let us accept them and create a new culture .homosexuality is not a new thing to our soceity . It has been there for years. But not accepted by the majority.

Yes, I agree with him. It's present always, hideous amount the society for centuries now. Now that people are more liberal, being gay is not a crime anymore. Either we can accept them as one of our own or can neglect it and carry on with our lives.

That's right. But how progressive are we now in accepting them? We at some level consider them a bit lower than what we call "normal". So neglecting is not an option. We would keep on harassing those people and call their feelings fake.

Before acceptance comes the understanding. Try to understand them better. If you understood then you can accept them as a normal being. Feeling towards an another human is common but when it grows deeper that's when it becomes stronger. In you answer, you mentioned as 'WE', more individual people together is called 'we'. Thus, it starts from every single person. I am ready to accept it. Are you?

I am. otherwise, I wouldn't have started the argument with my friends in the first place. But people don't want to understand them, they're more scared of what the society would think of them as homo supporters.

That was exactly what they said. All they kept saying was "It's against the nature". But who are we to decide what is natural and what is not?

Hi Shana,

In my opinion is , homosexuality is unwanted & barrier thing.
I really couldn't understand why some people engaged the homosexuality.but one thing it makes threat to our society .
for instance our present society meet to more & more sexual & rapists Problems.Finally ,we never Accept it and
homosexuality never upgrade to human freedom .

So you are trying to say homosexuality increases rapes? Then what abt now? Are we currently living in a rape-free, abuse-free world?
