As a result, the mother is bearing the weight of watcher, lover, and caregiver.

As people try to prove that being gay is biological, individuals like Robert Kuzig writes in his essay “Finding the Switch” “Homosexuality was not a biological trait at all but a psychological defect” (88).People who disagree with me and say that being gay is a choice use many arguments that make a person think or question one’s self.

The theory of social constructionism has been shown to be a very intriguing idea with vast implications for any and every area of reality. It stands in opposition to theories of a transcendent human nature and theories of an evolved human nature, for it does not believe in natures. The implications of the view for politics were demonstrated, and it was evident that social constructionism leads more to a view of the society and the state molding man than a view in which man molds himself.
