Homosexuality

Why can’t you love someone you love because they’re the same sex as you? Wouldn’t forbidding this be an act of sexism, then? “You’re not allowed to love her because she’s a girl,” that’s sexism right? But then you look at the bigger picture and they say, “And you’re also a girl.” Then conservative people squirm in disgust. If homosexuality’s been around for so long, why can’t we just accept it and get along? Basic questions, people, the defending answer to which would humor me. What’s sinful about this kind of love? The fact that it doesn’t lead to producing children which is what God intended sex for? You may say, “Exactly!” but that doesn’t cut it for me. Would it make a difference if it didn’t say in the Bible that homosexuality is sinful? Would people since the beginning of the Bible accept homosexuality as normal, or was the taboo set in society even before the Bible? There are so many questions I . . . I . . . I have a headache.

I recently took a survey that was used for scientific research in the field of psychology and it was about immorality. The survey had grounds on personality and basically what it was all about was to see where my boundaries are as far as what I consider to be immoral – where is my borderline in terms of immorality, I guess I should say. One of the main issues on the survey was homosexuality or just sexuality in general – premarital sex, causal sex, masturbation, hetero/homosexual sex. Are all of these immoral and to what degree (extreme, so-so, not really, etc)? Other issues included smoking, pollution, littering, the use of curse words, all of which are out of this topic though. As a result of the survey, which I must say was rather intriguing to me because I never really analyzed this side of myself, I discovered that I’m pretty liberal. I’m permissive, tolerant of what most others would forbid, particularly in terms of sexuality. But that contradicted with my religion, which is why I decided to label myself a liberal Christian, if such a thing can exist.

Oh hypocrisy. Don’t kill yourself over it. Everyone is a hypocrite and we can attribute that attribute to the fact that we have feelings and opinions and then we have deeper and truer feelings and opinions. We could try to not be hypocrites but we’re all mixtures of a little of many beliefs and values that may get entangled. So what if they do? Don’t get me wrong. It’s worth trying not to be a hypocrite, you gotta try your strength, but in my opinion, it’s not something to die over. Circumstances change and we find that we’re not as constant as the sun. We’re more like moons because we have phases. Let’s face it, we’re lunatics at heart because we’re not perfect but imperfect hypocrites who are just trying to do the right thing, which is following our hearts whichever way it sways. All I’m saying is that you should live by who you are even if that means being a liberal Christian. Take what you like and leave what you disagree with.

I was kind of hesitant to post this because I realize it is a bit personal, but it was kairotic and therefore somewhat appropriate. It was also interesting, at least for me, to explore. I thought what harm would it do me? None, right? – so long as every sets aside differences and practices tolerance contentedly. I mean, I have obviously.

No, I’m not homosexual myself, at least I don’t think I am.
