Gays & American Religions

I read this article “Acceptance of Gays in Major American Religions” by Icestryke in Culture on which appeared on May 24, 2005.It was about The American religions argue that homosexuals should be accepted by religions or not. In 11th to 12th centuries, homosexuality is accepted by Chistian socirty. There are gays everywhere in art, poetry, music, and history. However, at present, Fundamentalist Chistians and American culture still oppose homosexual and bisexual especially in conservative people. The same concerning between religion and science is about the effects of homosexuality to human evolution in future.

According to the article, I think that homosexuality is one of the biggest issues in social today. If we look at the sciencetific view point about human evolution, homosexuality is our problem that we should pay attention. Because if population of homosexual increase continuously, the population growth rate possibly shrink. However, this is just an assuming, we don’t exactly know what will happen in future. In my opinion, I don’t think that homosexuality is a problem. As long as homosexuals wouldn’t break law, kill or hurt someone, steal, or trouble with somebody, they should be accepted to live in society normally. No one can choose what they were born but everyone can choose what they will be. Many homosexuals can do their jobs efficiency and have responsibity to society. I have many gays friend that are so gentle, kindness, and helpful to women and they are still good advicer. Those reasons make me not against gays or any homosexuals. Although I can accepted homosexuals, I still disagree with men or women who changed to be homosexuals by following fashion, a momentary slip of emotion, or just want to feel differrent. I would not decied that homosexuality should be accepted by religions or not because this issues need carefully decision. But I suggest that we should be accepted that homosexuals are normal people like us.

What do think ? Can you accept gays? And if your family have gays, can you accept?
