Right or Wrong: Gay And Lesbianism

As the U.S. becomes more liberal, gay and lesbian issues capture more attention, acceptance and dismissal. I've been listening to this debate for so many years and it's usually a gay versus the ultra-religious debate. Why is it that it's only, for the most part, the religious who are fighting the gay and lesbian communities? Most people have enough common sense to know that it's pretty silly to try and control other people's personal lives and so in spite of not agreeing with everybody's personal choices, most of us don't meddle. Religious people use their religion as justification for interceding. Religion is a very weak basis for debating another person's personal life, especially if they aren't of your faith. Religion is a personal choice and it's rules only applies to those who choose to follow a particular faith. Essentially, when a religious person uses the doctrine of their faith to debate the gay/lesbian lifestyles, it's equivalent to someone trying to enforce the laws of China, within America. If you are not a citizen of China, China's laws don't really matter to you. I've been listening to these religious mouth-breathers spew fire at the gay and lesbian communities for years and it disturbs me. One priciple of faith I've never seen a religious person adhere to is to 'not judge'. They can't control their selves and they're losing the debate because they have a faulty premise to begin with.

I am one who personally believes that it's just common sense that men and women are naturally designed to mate with one another and I don't need somebody's scripture to justify that belief. Therefore; if it is natural for opposite sexes to mate then it is unnatural for same-sexes to mate. It is really that simple to me. That's not to disregard gay and lesbian people's real attraction to their same sex. Obviously it's real - most were born with that attraction. We all have known a little boy from our youth who we knew had a little sugar in his tank or a little girl who was a little too butch for what we thought was her gender. How do we explain this? Obviously nature hasn't changed; a man and a woman are still required for procreation; so why are people being born with this natural inclination towards gay or lesbianism? The fact is, gay and lesbianism has been around for as long as we have recorded history. I believe that we are imperfect beings who are striving to perfect ourselves as we evolve. There are many things that we do and have always done that contradict the natural order of things. Sometimes we are ignorant to the truth, sometimes our evolutionary flaws are still working themselves out. There was a time when we considered 35-40 years, a good long life. We evolved and our bodies got stronger. Once, we thought the world was flat, we educated our selves and our intellect became stronger. We also have psychological and emotional deficiencies that we have to evolve our way through.

One thing that I know is that nature always wins in the end because it is absolute and we can't change it - at least not yet. What nature say is that men and women were made to lay with each other and each other only and that's why gay and lesbianism is wrong. But we can't forget that people have the right to be wrong. If you don't agree with the lifestyle a person chooses to live, it makes it more difficult for you to exist in their company but that's what life is about: it's about the challenge and the struggle to become greater people. People should stop looking for the easy way out i.e., making everything they disagree with, illegal. Perhaps the energy and resources being dumped into trying to control what we have no legitimate authority over (people's personal lives), we should use that energy and those resources to finding means of peaceful coexistence. It seems that the "act first, think later" cave dweller mentality still lingers in us. We still want to destroy everything that disagrees with us. Grow up, world!
