Homosexuality is not a natural occurrence. It is not an evolutionary fault or otherwise. Animals themselves may take part in bisexual or homosexual acts within a species but humans are of a higher intelligence and are not obliged or intended to partake in such primitive behaviour. Animals also do not and never have been influenced by moral decision making.
Homosexual couples go against traditional family values as they cannot have children. Allowing adoption by gay couples upsets the traditional family unit as well family values as a child needs two parents (one of each gender) to grow up with a sound mental and physical state. Children are impressionable and same sex couples cannot possibly parent a child on proper behaviour and morality. Without proper role-models, these children will grow up believing that homosexuality is moral and may make the same depraved mistake. Children within a homosexual ‘family’ are more likely to suffer from child abuse. Marriage between two men or two women encourages these immoral acts (both homosexuality itself and child/domestic abuse) to go on, which affects the whole of society by lowering our moral standards and encourages other abominations.
Homosexual relationships are unstable and short-lived as it is more difficult to connect with a member of the same sex on a romantic level then it is with the opposite sex. Domestic violence is most common among gay couples because of this inability to connect emotionally or romantically. Gay people are also more adventuring sexually as their choice of ‘lifestyle’ is the product of lust instead of love, leading to them having many sexual partners.
Because of their more adventuring lifestyle, homosexuals spread diseases such as AIDS and at a higher rate than heterosexuals. Moscow’s mayor, Yuri Luzhkov is reported to have blamed the gay right movement for the spread of AIDS; “We have banned, and will ban, the propaganda of sexual minorities’ opinions because they can be one of the factors in the spread of HIV infection.” It is immoral to cause harm to another human being and because gay sex spreads harmful diseases, homosexuality must be immoral by default.
I feel that none of these arguments are valid as many are false for the majority of the gay community. The idea that ‘being gay’ is immoral based on the belief that
it is a choice, is wrong and unfair. For example, having a child out of wedlock is deemed by some people as immoral and sinful but yet for others, it is perfectly acceptable. The nature argument is also invalid. Homosexuality is evident in the animal kingdom but animals do not decide our morals because if they did, many things deemed immoral (not just homosexuality) would be part of everyday life and acceptable. Many of the arguments against homosexuality seem to consist of this pattern, making sense only if you look at half the evidence backing the argument. For example, the AIDS argument invalid as gay sex only responsible for 5-10% of HIV+ people whereas heterosexual sex is responsible for approximately 60-70% (according to Avert). Those opposing gay rights take the parts of the facts they like and spread these false stereotypes.
