Homosexuality is a complicated and delicate subject, as we can see throughout the history of our society, were we born with a certain sexual choice or choose it over time?There are many theories that try to answer this question: biological, psychological, psychoanalytic, anthropological, etc. , and none of them have found the essential evidence to answer accurately.
What seems clear is that homosexuality occurs in nature with surprising naturalness, all kinds of animals practice homosexuality.
- Therefore.
- This belief that being homosexual is not natural is totally wrong.
- This erroneous belief has created a social prejudice that has long made us think that homosexuality is an aberration.
- Something bad that should not happen.
Because of this belief, many people with sexual orientation contrary to what society says should have been rejected, mistreated and even murdered, imprisoned and tortured, all because some people do not follow the standards invented by society, that is, by ourselves.
“Homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: ideally it would be to be able to love a man or a woman, any human being, without fear, inhibition or obligation.
-Simone de Beauvoir-
But what do we believe in, who are we to judge what others do?
Are there still people today who do not dare to come out of the closet and feel repressed by the ideas of our society, cannot accept themselves because unfortunately they believe in the mistaken belief we talked about earlier: homosexuality is abnormal, it seems like a disease.
When homosexuals do not accept themselves as they are, they suffer from anxiety and depression, they see themselves as a ‘worm’, as a person who does not correspond to social norms and maintains a very destructive internal dialogue. Why can’t I fall in love with someone of the opposite sex, I’m sure I’m a patient, a bastard, etc. ?
It is necessary for everyone to start thinking properly about this issue, homosexuals must accept themselves as they are, without fear, and heterosexuals must put aside prejudices and stop excluding and rejecting them because of their sexual orientation.
We need to reflect on this issue, change our irrational thoughts for more rational ones in relation to homosexuality; we will feel much better.
Homosexuality is not only a quality, but a characteristic of the human being. Approximately 10% of the planet’s inhabitants are homosexual or lesbian and this occurs in all cultures and ethnicities; therefore, we cannot consider them abnormal. It’s like having red hair and light eyes; few people have done it, but it’s perfectly normal and natural.
The fact that homosexuality is valued as good or bad was invented by ourselves. At other times in history, being gay was perfectly normal; it was just a feature that didn’t matter.
Things are neither good nor bad; it is society that classifies them at its convenience at that time. Given this, we realize that we cannot identify and accept these false beliefs.
“Homosexuality exists in more than 450 species, homophobia in one. What do you think isn’t natural?
Being gay or heterosexual does not determine our personal worth, that is, I am not a worm and I do not feel unhappy to be homosexual, we can check it by looking at all cases of homosexuals that are brilliant in many aspects of their life. , have a full and happy life, triumph both personally and professionally and are admired by many people.
As we have said, being homosexual is just a quality, and people are different from each other and with a myriad of characteristics of their own, what we have to be clear about is that it is these characteristics that value us, no matter how society characterizes behavior.
It is very important to accept that homophobic ideas exist, because some people insist on transmitting their misunderstandings and believe that they are always right, it also happens with racism, with machismo, they will always be present, but we cannot let them influence us. People with prejudice should not be part of our lives; Fortunately, there are many people we can communicate with without problems.
If you are convinced that being homosexual is a simple quality that does not determine your personal worth and you think you can be very happy, there is nothing that can affect or offend you, maintain mental balance and live happy as you are, however you want and how you feel.
