My beliefs on Homosexuality

xareik

Hi,

I was looking for some opinions from the community on some of the views I hold.

Most of my friends find my views on sexual orientation to be quite at odds with their own, and in fact some get angry with me because of my views (despite this, I am otherwise well liked and well regarded).

Many of them have tried (in vain) to convince me that the views I hold are wrong and prejudiced... I am very open-minded and I don't hate anybody. I just happen to hold some views that are, it seems, largely unpopular in modern society.

It gets to the point that I rarely share my views, as it normally results in people getting angry with me... and throwing abuse in my direction.

You see, I view Hetrosexuality as the only TRUELY ligitimate sexual orientation. Anything different from this (and I'm aware that even within a hetro relationship there can be some elements of homosexual behaviour) is deviant behaviour and should not be termed 'sexual orientation'.

I also believe that anything that deviates from hetrosexual behaviour, is in fact a mental disorder - not hugely dissimilar from any other mental/sexual disorder. (pedophillia, bestiality etc..)

Having said this, I would fully acknowledge that most, if not all, people have the potential for some degree of deviant behaviour in their make-up. (nobody is completely or purely hetrosexual)

But the ideal in human evolution should be 100% hetrosexuality. Of course we know that perfection is something that is almost impossible to attain.

The thing is, with these views, people are inclined to view me as prejudiced or filled with hatred. I try to explain that I don't hate anyone... I have compassion for people.

As I believe Homosexual behaviour to be a mental condition, I view people with this as being sick. The same way I would view someone who had any other mental sickness.

I think the main problem in society, is that people displaying any myriad of sexual disorders don't always function badly in their daily lives in the same way someone with dementia or Psychosis etc, etc... might do.

This is why society is so eager to accept it as being 'normal'... And has basically given up any effort at treatment or a cure.

This imo is very bad news. Outwardly, many people appear to be functioning well - but internally I believe there is a huge struggle going on. Not because of prejudiced views or public perception - but rather the internal moral struggle between what is right and wrong or what is normal/abnormal...

There are many people out there who can never accept what they are. Not because they fear people's reaction - but rather because they just don't want to be who they are. They don't want to be part of that minority of society...

But that's the problem - their only option/choice is to accept who they are and live with this reality. But what if they just can't...!? Would we force someone to live with some other mental condition - without any hope of treatment...?

Would we tell someone with parkinsons or psychosis that they should just accept what they are and abandon any hope of treatment or cure...!?

Should there not at least be an option for those who don't wish to live like that...? If science developed a cure/treatment tommorow, many would reject it (which is their right of course) but would everyone reject it...?

It seems anyone who dares to question something like this, is immidiately beaten down, silenced and shamed into feeling like they are prejudiced and backward thinking...

I understand that people need to live their lives and try to be happy. I don't wish unhappiness on anyone.

But is there a danger that, out of this motivation, society has decided to abandon any/all research into this area..?

What would happen if people suffering from pedophillia or Psychosis suddenly decided that they don't wish to be cured/treated...? They view their behaviour as 'normal' and wish to live their lives in peace and happiness..?

Of course people will point out that Pedophillia or Psychosis poses a threat to society and hurts alot of people, which obviously is true. But just because Homosexual behaviour (or other sexually deviant acts) are percieved as 'not hurting anyone'... does this automatically make them right/normal/desirable traits in society?

I mean, I know this very unrealistic, but what if the entire world were homosexual? What if men and women completely lost interest in each other... What would happen to the human race?

I know there is artificial processes to create babies, but without any sexual desires between men and women... would our bodies slowly evolve and change?

I know maybe only 1-2% of the world population is homosexual - so it's a complete non-issue right now. But it's still an interesting question.

This is only really the tip of the iceberg in terms of my views on this issue, but I would be very interested to read other people's opinions on some of these things.

Thanks (and I apologise if anyone finds my opinions offensive, I genuinely don't intend them to be percieved in such a way)

Kind Regards,

You sound like a mental case.

Exactly what response do you expect from a community you are labelling mentally unstable?

"Oh yes, quite right!"

Very constructive... perhaps I am.

Should I accept what I am or seek treatment?

Being gay is not a mental disorder. Find me a current definition of homosexuality from a well respected source which defines it as so. You won't find one.

Also I really take issue with you seemingly labelling Parkinson's as a mental disorder.

How can you expect people not to be offended by what you've written . You sound to me like a person that needs to get on with your own life , I can see how your friends get angry with you .
I'm a man that likes women, imagine somebody told me today that although your a happy man what your doing is wrong and you need to change . I'd be furious, how dare somebody try to change me because I don't conform to the normal behaviour that I should.

I expect you wrote this to get a reaction and no doubt you will
