When hearing the suggestions for week 12 I was intrigued (and surprised) to see that 'homosexuality' was listed as one of the topics someone had put down for discussion. I was dissapointed to think that someone would thing that being homosexual is 'bad' behaviour. It is not something that an individual choses to be -in the same way you cannot chose what sex you are or the colour of your skin. In modern society I beleive everyone should be treated equally regardless of sex, skin colour or sexual preference. I don not think homosexuality is bad but homophobia (along with sexism and racism etc) is and should be challenged.
One of the biggest areas in society where homosexuality is still a taboo subject is in the world of professional football - http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2007/apr/15/sport.comment2
Would being gay be more acceptable to more people if footballers who are gay (and statistically some must be) came out. Do they not reveal their sexuality for fear of abuse they may get from (si called) fans?

ReplyDeleteI disagree to your comments made in your blog regarding homosexuality i wouldnt say it is bad i believe it is not natural. I agree that some people maybe cant help that they are homosexual but then what would you say about those who are bisexual they choose to have sexual relations with both sex. And to make the statement that people cannot help being homosexual in the same way a person cant help the colour of their skin or gender is not the same thing in my opinion. I agree that every person should be treated equally and fairly never mind their sexual preferences i believe homosexuality is not natural.
