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.

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 .

From my point of view, I guess it should be accepted because I think that this is something to do with the hormones and our desire of whom we are going to marry. If we're in love with the same sex it simply means it has something to do with our bodies. Well, I guess legalizing it should be fine.

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?

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.

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

Well said. But few of my friends who take are experts on Biology, kept saying how homo should be a disorder, not a true feeling. WHat do you think?

I think homosexuality should be accepted, definitely, They are different from common people but they are not wrong. As a human being, They also have full rights to live their desire life.We should respect their feelings.

On the point Bhavya! But some people consider it as some kind of disorder people develop because of bad parental upbringing. What would you say to this?

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?

If it's a disorder then many foreign countries wouldn't accept it. On the other hand, they would send the homosexuality people to get treatment in the hospital. People should understand they are unique from normal people and that's not a bad thing.

I don't really think it is something against the society, it is the body that turns them to homosexualize '' The hormones'' so people who are interested in the same sex should they remain single/ unmarried for? Or should they be banned forever from their town or city?

True, if it's a disorder then they would be medically treated with precautions rather than treating them in such an inappropriate way.

Bad parental Upbringing, does this really matter when it comes down to homosexualism? I really don't think so! Maybe the society could be some factors that would decide this thing but definitely not the parent's method of raising up their kids. External factors such as videos might have a impact on this as well.

Where would they go if they're neglected? Being gay is fine because at the end of the day it is all about love and living a happy life together. Unless until they are married!

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.

Good to see your reply. It took these many centuries to make it legal in few countries. It will take many more years to be accepted by people. All people need is time. After all, what more can you expect now in caste based Asian country?

That's right. Maybe in the next 20 years, SL would legalize it as well. Until then, it's a waiting game.

I think homosexuality is related to genetic and hormonal changes not with the social impacts.

It's not a disorder at all so our society should treat them properly with respect.
