Its been necessary for the proponents of homosexual sex to make arguments for their case because the history of human culture has largely looked down on the behavior. Not that it hasn’t turned a blind eye to it or allowed it to be openly practiced on occasion. The issue is it never has been equal to the state of heterosexual sex or union.
- Because moral laws do not truly exist homosexuality is good.
- Because it is “unchosen,” homosexuality is natural and therefore good.
- Because people are free to do what they want, homosexuality is good.
The following arguments have been offered and are I find unpersuasive.
1. “Natural” or “unchosen” desire does not make something right. Our natural state is right and good. If I didn’t choose it must be right. Bullshit! I work in a jail and find that there are numerous things that people desire which are unchosen. Pedophilia is largely unchosen. Psycologist are now comparing it with heteroseuxality and homosexuality. It is unchosen. Doesn’t make it right.
2. Mutual participation does not make something right. Ok so we want to chalk it up to mutual agreement. A child can’t agree so pedophilia is wrong while adult can so homosexulatiy is right. We recognize the effects that peoples behavior has on others. We are not absolutely free to do everything we want. If two people consent to something no one else has the right to tell them otherwise. It’s there freedom to enter into any relationship they so desire. Mutual agreement may appear to lesson the harm done to others but it doesn’t eradicate it.
3. Denial of sin… does not make something right. There is no standard therefore there is no such thing as wrong. Well if this is the case then we’re left in the uncomfortable place of nothing being good either. When you run away from the notion of violation of a standard you run away from the good and right that that standard pursues.
