Homosexuality nature or nurture???

In our society it is a norm for people scorn and comments on issues about which they simply have no information about. Homosexuality is considered very offensive and detestable. People in our society simply go with the conventional rules made by culture and traditions. But times are changing; now the young generation is supportive as well as tolerable of homosexuality. There is a change in the general mentality of the mob. They have started to accept the fact that for some it might be something which they can help…but is that the case with everyone??

The question always crosses our minds that is homosexuality a natural phenomenon or is it by choice?? Well it certainly is a natural fact; homosexuality has been observed in many animal species and has been researched in detail on 500 species. Homosexuality is a completely normal occurrence, one gets it since birth but some people try to fight it off while others are open and direct about it and are not afraid to show the world who they really are.

Yes, homosexuality is completely normal and natural. the homosexual cannot help but feel the way that he/she is but they can either crush themselves and sacrifice their natural instincts for the norms of society or they can standup to every conventional mind and be who they are.

Religion is another factor involved in shaping up a persons life. No matter if your parents are the “religious sort” or not religion always comes up when they try to prove that they are right. But isn’t it God who created them as they are, they are as much human being as you and I, so why should they be discriminated. In the past women were discriminated on the basis of their gender, now we find that totally absurd and offensive, but if I had been living in the old times I certainly wouldn’t have had the liberty to pick up such a bold topic and talk about it freely. Same is the case with homosexuality we need to spread awareness and develop compassion in the hearts of others about it. It is something everyone needs to accept as part of the human’s nature just like somebody’s personality you find it good or bad you have to accept it because that’s portrays what the person really is.
