Although many "traditional" Christians argue that it is because of the various types of sexual activities that homosexuals practice that makes it bad. That is no longer accurate. Why? Well, because straight couples are doing the same kinds of stuff even now, such as anal or oral sex. And, I think, Christians keep saying that it's wrong for gay people to have sexual relationships because those are the only types of sexual practices they can do, whereas straight people can have good sex (AKA penile-vaginal intercourse). Excuse me, but who said that there HAS to be sex in a relationship? That is quite contradictory to the Church's teachings. Do not assume that two people in love WILL have sex when you teach that love and sex can be separate. Yes, sex can be important in a relationship, butdon't preach one thing and assume the other. Also, if sexuality's purpose is procreation, love doesn't fit anywhere in there does it? Love is just something that comes along with procreation like a bonus or something extra. How unfortunate reality is, really.

I think the issue is not on the type of sexual practices, but more on the gender. It is also because it is an issue of sexuality. It's funny that many, not all, extreme christians say that it is wrong because it is immoral, when in actuality it is because they feel uncomfortable about the issue. It makes me laugh to know that they are not only uncomfortable with talking about homosexuality, but with the whole concept of human sexuality as well. They like sex within marriage because it keeps the concept of human sexuality as a private issue, not public. They just hate homosexuality because it screams (at least from their point of view), "sex! sex! sex!" and they feel quirky about it. I'm not saying that this type of emotion is bad, I'm just saying that they should be more honest with themselves instead of trying to come up with excuses to hide their uncomfortableness. Like, "it's immoral."

Morality, if defined accordingly to the philosophy of emotivism, is a method in which human beings can express their emotions or thoughts in a way in which they can gain approval from an entire community using natural responses shared by all humans. For example, "killing is bad" is none other than an emotional expression that we, as sane humans, don't want to be killed. No one would disagree with that. "Homosexuality is bad" could mean that you actually don't think that it is bad, but that you don't want to be hit on by another person of the same gender, or because you feel to uncomfortable with the idea.

In order for something to be considered as morally wrong, the ethical issue must be repulsive to all human beings who are in a healthy mental state, not just to a certain group of people. When in a healthy mental state, there is not a single human being that wishes to be killed. The realization of this was one of the ways in which homosexuality was previously considered a mental disorder. To place it under the category of a mental disorder erases the possibility that homosexuality is naturally limited to a certain type of people. If gay people were not gay according to some mental disorder, their actions would not be considered immoral because it would be limited to a certain group of people WITHIN the mentally healthy. It creates the possibility that ALL human beings can become gay (since any mental disorder can develop in anyone, according to their logic) and that ALL "healthy" human beings will be naturally repulsed by homosexual behavior, and thus it would be immoral. Sexuality is not repulsive to all human beings. In fact, it isn't naturally repulsive at all. There isn't a single type of sexual behavior that would be repulsive to the eye of a healthy human being. However, this is why there are many rules regarding sexual behavior. There isn't a natural moral instinct in this type of behavior and thus, it must be artificially created in order to create order within a society. To say certain types of sexual behavior is wrong is a way in which we human beings will express our intense interest in human sexuality in such a way that it gains approval from a given society. We want to know more, but feel too umcomfortable. And then, we say it is wrong because we feel afraid. If you are one of these people who feel uncomfortable with certain things, don't feel embarassed. Just say that you don't like it, instead of coming up with excuseful logic in order to defend yourself.

I am not writing this so that I may improve the world. Note the title: "my thoughts", not "what your thoughts should be". I am not trying to convince anyone into believing what I most certainly believe. I am just trying to express myself and to come to a conclusion as to who I truly am. If you feel that this essay what totally ridiculous, please note that these are nothing more than my true feelings and that feelings don't need to be meaningful. They just exist as they are. I am being honest and not labeling my essay as "good" or "bad" in order to justify myself. It is just what it is.
