Quote by: libertyminded Homosexuality is a behavior you engage in. It is an aspect of your psychological makeup not of your physical makeup. Schizophrenic people believe there are voices in their heads, hypochondriacs believe they're sick when they are not, people with severe depression perceive the world in much gloomier way than the rest of us and homosexuals urge to mate is directed towards the wrong gender. These are characteristics of mental abnormalities but society does not have to endorse these behaviors. If you have an urge to act in a way out of the ordinary, great, but don't come up to me and demand that I recognize it as perfectly normal. |
In comparing homosexuality to schizophrenia you are labeling it off as a mental disease. Ask anyone with a degree in psychiatry and they will tell you that homosexuality is not a disease, and that it can not be cured. Also, one don't CHOOSE to be gay, it's something one realizes during the course of their life.
As a heterosexual, I realized that i'm not attracted to guys with blond hair and blue eyes, but rather to guys with dark features. And as a heterosexual, I am free to make the choice, and free to engage in relationships with only dark featured men, and eventually marry one.
However, if I realized at some point in my life that i had in fact become madly in love with another woman...i feel that i should still be able to retain the same rights as i had before.
Society, as you put, doesn't have the right to judge me, because society is incrediably subjective.
