After reading the Church of England’s current debates over sexuality. The “Piling Report” claims that same sex attraction is not a free choice, but a given one (254). I completely disagree with this claim because you are not born homosexual. You choose to be homosexual based on environmental, genetic, and hormonal factors. "Is Sexual Orientation Determined at Birth?" ProCon.org 31 Aug. 2017 states that There is other evidence that, during fetal development, exposure to certain hormones also plays a role. In addition, genetic and hormonal factors generally interact with environmental factors that have yet to be determined, though neither faulty parenting nor exposure to gay individuals causes homosexuality.
Another reason you aren’t born homosexual is that it occurs naturally. Science proves this from, "Is Sexual Orientation Determined at Birth?" ProCon.org. 31 Aug. 2017 states latest and best scientific evidence shows that sexual orientation and expressions of gender identity occur naturally, and pose no threat to societies in which they are accepted as normal variants of human sexuality. The things around us Television, music, and even fashion change our sexual identity. Like for example imagine there are two …show more content…

They are human beings after all and should respected like any other human being. This is what all churches should do being humble towards other races and sexual orientations. But it is a sin to be homosexual the “Piling Report” and the Church of England both agree on this. In the bible there are two statements why homosexual is wrong explained by Leviticus. One is “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination”. (Leviticus 18:22). If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. (Leviticus 20:13). This proves that homosexual is wrong and should be

Greensboro North Carolina Sit in Amy Costello On February 1st, 1960, four students sat down at the lunch counter at the Woolworths in Greensboro, where they refused service to anyone but whites. When denied service the four young men refused to get out of their seats. Police arrived but were unable to take action due to lack of provocation. By that time Ralph Johns (a local business man) had already alerted the media, who then covered the story on television.

In “Traditional Mother and Father” Still the Best Choice for Children” (2002), Tom Adkins argues that heterosexual parents are a better choice for a child than homosexual ones. Adkins supports his claim by undermining the AAP’s data that concludes that “parents ' sexual orientation alone cannot predict their ability to provide a supportive home environment for children”, by citing the report No Basis: What the Studies Don 't Tell Us About Same Sex Parenting, whose author states "the studies are fatally flawed in methodology, technique and analysis. Some didn 't even have control groups.”

In this article, it says “Just because you had a homosexual or heterosexual feelings for as long as you can remember, does not mean you were born a homosexual or heterosexual.” The author says that anyone can look back and think of things they have done forever, she uses the example of craving cheddar cheese. But the author argues that if she had been raised in a different location where cheddar cheese was non-existent, she wouldn't even know what cheddar cheese is and wouldn't want it. While reading this article, one can see that it’s about homosexuality but I think that the reasoning can also apply to my data for it uses a good

Equality and same-sex marriage is similar to that of The Crucible. The thought of a same-sex marriage happening within the holy walls of God, is a sin, in the eyes of the church. Many churches have banned the ceremony of gay/lesbian marriages. The churches that disallow same-sex marriages are Baptists, Methodist, Catholic and Presbyterian churches. This selective behaviour from those particular churches, have caused hysteria from supporters of equality, especially the LGBTQ+ community.

I’m not familiar with the bible since I am not a religious person, but I do believe in God. I'm tired of the church using the Bible to be homophobic. In this essay, Ms. Greene interviewed more than 400 young men who were incarcerated for gay-bashing. I can’t believe those gay-bashers think they did nothing wrong and show no remorse for it. There was one teenage gay basher was told by his pastor, “Homosexuals represent the devil, Satan,” and that the Rev. Jerry Falwell had echoed the charge” (Homophobic?

As there isn’t one particular reason why a human may be homosexual, There are theories why homosexuality occurs in behaviourism, social learning theory and psychoanalysis. Social Learning theory suggests sexuality is learned through symbolic interactionalism and there is three parts in shaping sexuality , our social norms and history, our relationships and a persons expectations. The seduction hypothesis is also part of social learning theory and suggests that an older person may seduce a younger person into homosexuality. this is because social learning theory states that our peers influence our behaviours due to this many homosexuality trials in the Victorian era across the UK including one which led to the imprisonment of Oscar Wilde were influenced by the seduction hypothesis.

According to the Williams Institute (2009), there has been an increased need for high quality scientific data on sexual orientation of adults because it is an essential piece in understanding different health trends among populations. It is crucial that sexual orientation questions are asked appropriately to avoid discrimination and be culturally sensitive. Based on existing large-scale surveys research questions can be modified to be asked correctly. For example, surveys now provide three options for how one identifies their sexual orientation: heterosexual or straight, gay or lesbian, or

Staying on track, Chapter 9 talks about the Gift of Sexuality in our human lives as well as offenses that can harm the gift of our own sexuality. A major issue today in regards to sexuality would be homosexual activity, which is activity between members of the same sex. Church teaching based on Divine Revelation holds the homosexual genital activity is objectively sinful. However the Church recognizes that Homosexual activity is not the same as Homosexual Orientation, agreeing with social sciences, that they do not choose to bet that way and not morally guilty for who they are. This is the same as that a person is not responsible for be “red-haired.”

Sexual orientation is defined by our textbook as the “classification of individuals as heterosexual, bisexual, or homosexual based on emotional, cognitive, and sexual attractions as well as their self-identity and lifestyle” (McCammon, 2007). I chose sexual orientation because it has become a hot topic of discussion in today’s society, and I feel for as much discussion as there is about it, not much information is known. I chose to look at the website Sciencemag.org because the title intrigued me about how there has been a linkage found between markers on the X chromosome and male sexual orientation, and the website is a reliable source of information. I chose the article “Factors that Contribute to the Development of a Lesbian Sexual Orientation: A Literature Review” because it too looks at the various causes of homosexuality, but focuses on lesbianism, which is opposite of what the website focused in on. Between the textbook, website, and article, I feel as though I covered all bases surrounding sexual orientation, from general overviews of theories to more specific biological sex-related orientation.

Even some church officials were known to have same-sex tendencies which was shown from their love poems (source 12 cite this). In the 12th century the culture started to change and the structure began to get more rigid (source 12 cite this). The differences between church and state began to get muddled together and uniformity started to become more present and the intolerance of homosexuality was increasing (source 12 cite this). People thought that they were helping the different minorities, but the so-called protection actually took on more of a repressive nature (source 12 cite this). In the end of the 12th century it was almost common knowledge that the homosexuals were not to be tolerated and constantly homophobic indoctrination was popping up everywhere (source 12 cite this).

Homosexuality, through the media especially, is associated with flamboyant, effeminate males who have an attraction to other males. The main cause of this stereotyping could be due to the media picking and choosing what kind of individual it wants to portray through its media outlets in relation to homosexuality. Although this has some truth to it, not all homosexuals are flamboyant or effeminate, or as otherwise termed, camp, even though they do have an attraction to people of the same sex. So the question could be, is a person born gay? Or are there bio-psycho-sociological factors that contribute to a person’s sexuality?

Homosexuality Is Inherent. While people range all across the sexuality spectrum, they largely seem to have certain leanings from birth. Children who are born to the same parents, are raised the same, and are in most other ways the same can still end up with different sexual orientations. To those who believe it is a choice, one should answer the question of when heterosexual people chose to be heterosexual as well, since orientation, if a choice, is a choice for all groups not just

Issues like these may well be controversial, being based on an individual 's creed and principles. After researching for months about homosexuality, I came to a conclusion that the homosexuals should be treated no less than the heterosexuals. What the antagonists of homosexuality say are: it is unnatural; it is against the divine will of God, it runs counter to the tradition and more. Occasionally someone would bring up a "real" problem but most of the claims by the opposing side stand on the basis of a highly subjective valuation.

Probably, this is the only issue for which the priests, Babas & Maulanas from different faiths have been united and agree to raise one voice on this topic. Many of them have told on TV how homosexuality is against the "great Indian culture". But, if one takes a quick glance at the ancient Indian culture, mythology etc, this topic is not new.
