Homosexuality is unnatural because it disregards the natural use of sex organs of men and women. It’s sinful because the bible clearly rejects homosexual behavior and the behavior also disregards the divine and natural law of the bible.

So if you are saying that gay marriage should not be allowed to marry based on moral issues, you are in essence saying that morally it is worse to be a homosexual than to be a rapist, murderer, or child molester. It is this kind of thinking that has held society back. Still others would argue that due to divorce and cohabitation the institution of marriage is already in a weakened state.

Introduction Homosexuality has been a topic of debate for centuries. Some people still strongly believe that homosexuality has some cultural, social, and political backgrounds. The existence of such myths could be attributed to lack of researches on the subject and ignorance on gender specific roles and traits. It seems that different cultures observe the trait of homosexuality in extremely different ways since few researches have been performed to explore the contributory factors to this trait.

A Critique of William Bennett’s “Against Gay Marriage” The issue of homosexuals in our society is becoming more of a debate. The debate is no longer whether we should accept them, but rather, should they be legally recognized. Gay marriage should not be legalized because of its effect it would have on society. William Bennett’s article “Against Gay Marriage” was originally published in the Washington Post and highlights the negative effects of gay marriage on our society. Bennett wrongfully believes that homosexual and heterosexual unions are not comparable; however, if we change the definition of marriage, our society’s understanding of marriage would be irreconcilably ruined.

Homosexuals go through much turmoil and hatred once they reveal that they are homosexuals because of people known as homophobes. Homophobes are people that believe that homosexuals are basically a curse and they should not exist. Homophobes are also the people that in the end are more likely to end up committing a hatred crime towards a homosexual because they believe that homosexuals should be punished for their sexual orientations. I know that in my own opinion if I was to be a homosexual I don’t think that with the world the way that it is today I would come out and tell
Foucault’s theory of social construction of sexual identity is not merely restricted to homosexuality, but it is within the discussion of homosexuality that it holds its greatest sway. Foucault underlines this belief by pointing out that sexuality in eras bygone was more judged by the sexual acts themselves, rather than the ‘orientation’ of the individual. Acts were judged as perverse based on the action or the individual; a separate subgroup of the ‘perverse’ did not exist as a category. Sodomy was seen as a personal vice, rather than a deep-seated identity or aspect of personality/identity. Sodomy was something one did, not something one was.
