Homosexuals and Heaven

[salty]

As a black person (I'm also black btw. random info haha) don't you see the problem with calling homosexuality wrong simply because it's different from the common sexual preference? Seriously, I don't understand. It's discrimination based on sexual preference. Racism is discrimination based on race. You can't help if your born black, you can't help if your born white. You can't help if your born gay, you can't help if your born straight. The whole "they cant make babies"argument is useless when you consider the fact that we still have heterosexuals. So seriously, other than god forbidding it, what is so bad about homosexuality? Like morally bad, causing harm to others. Not "ew. that's not normal." Because that's just discrimination.

The argument "you can't help that you're born gay" isn't accurate. I admit that some people are born with a more potent desire to be sexually involved with the same gender than others, but it does nothing to define them. What you do in a bedroom with another person is not who you are. Also, people who practice homosexuality aren't always gay. Homosexuality is an attraction (look it up), it's not a state of being, the gay community has created a culture, but it was not always present, Blacks have always had a culture because we were collected from many countries and formed the black American culture through our struggles. In addition, this idea that "gay people can't help themselves" is a sad excuse for not owning up to your decisions. What do you think my husband would say if he caught me with another man and I said, "I was born this way, I couldn't help it, it's who I am." That's not entirely true. I may have been born with the desire to flirt and be around many men, but I choose how far I will allow those desires to go, no one twists my arm to sleep around, no one tells me to have sexual thoughts about someone, no one forces me to enter a room, take off my clothes...etc. Homosexuality is an attraction that ends in a choice; I will act on this feeling or I won't act on this feeling. People choose for themselves, just like I choose to be committed to my husband because it is immoral for me to find another partner and have a romance with them and sleep with them.

Really, it's very annoying for people to compare blackness to homosexuality because you'll notice that blackness has nothing to do with actions, but everything to do with what is visibly seen. Homosexuality is based on desire and then acted upon (this is not a private view, call the makers of dictionary.com and see if they'll change their definition to include love and romance I don't think they will). It is only visible if people conform to the standards the gay culture that has been created from the gay community, otherwise we would never know, but Blacks aren't like that, are they? By adopting a new walk, a new hair style, a new way of talking or some kind of fashion it doesn't change the fact that I'm Black does it? Do you think the KKK would refrain from attacking me because I'm wearing a blue dress? "Ohhh I see, you're a part of the white culture now, we like blue." That's ridiculous, their behavior is based on their views of the inferiority of people with dark skin whether black, Indian, Mexican or whatever, they also don't like homosexuals, but how will they know if their behavior is the same as anyone's? That just doesn't work for Blacks.

As you will notice, moral issues revolve around right conduct, not if they cause harm to others. The decision to have sex with a corpse is immoral, but causes no harm to others. The decision to steal from people is immoral, but it does no harm to others. The decision to lie to people is immoral, but it does no harm to others. So let's put this "it doesn't hurt anyone" thinking behind us, things can be deemed immoral without effecting someone personally and without bringing harm.
