“All men are created equal, no matter how hard you try, you can never erase those words,” Harvey Milk. A homosexual, as defined by the dictionary, is someone who, related to or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire towards another of the same sex. Homosexuality is ethical and I will provide rational arguments for and irrational arguments against the topic. Some objections are as follows: It is forbidden in the Bible and disapproved of by God; It's unnatural; Men and women are necessary to reproduce; No examples are known in nature; and the most common argument surrounding homosexuality is whether it is a choice or human biology. My arguments will ignore an important element in considering the morality of homosexuality, the law. Yes, many people know that stealing and killing are both wrong, but this is based on socialization and learning passed down from previous generations. The aim is not to ignore the rules, but historical examples relating to homosexuality will not help prove its ethics. You need to use rational, autonomous decision making to decipher right from wrong, which can lead to solid, concrete answers. As humans, it's natural to shy away from things that are different from the norm; we discriminate. It is very important to free yourself from discrimination to better clarify the decision in question. To draw a valid conclusion about homosexuality, it is essential to forget what they were taught during socialization, mainly from birth to adulthood. For example: As a child you were told to hate and not associate with African Americans because of the color of their skin, because they are different.
