A Homosexual Child
I feel like parents put a lot of "responsibility" on themselves if their child is gay. It isn't their "fault." It shouldn't be considered a "fault." I think a lot of the homophobia stems from religion and from tradition. I recently wrote a paper about legalizing prostitution. Some people do not believe sexual acts are appropriate or right before marriage. Extremely promiscuous women are often frowned upon. But, if the views of sex changed, the views of prostitution would change. People do not accept and refuse to accept many different types of people. This could be because they were raised in a certain way, believe in certain morals, or become extremely uncomfortable around people who are different. Some parents feel like they did something wrong when their children turn out in an non-traditional way. I don't know if homosexuality is something you are "born" with or become over time but it shouldn't matter and it shouldn't be seen as something that is wrong.

I agree with you on the fact that homosexuality can be either born with or changed later in the life, but for the responsibility of children being homosexual, very often parents are the cause, which of course also includes other factors. For instance, some people's homosexuality is developed from childhood sexual abuse from father, grandfather, or uncle. In another case, sometimes parents' ignorant on their children can cause rebel which transform into change on their sexual orientation preference.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to argue with you on several of these points -- I haven't found any reputable scientific study that can confirm homosexuality is "caused" by abuse as a child. That is, most unfortunately, a terrible and common misconception.
DeleteBut think that on the parents side, even if there is no scientific study for homosexuality whether 'caused' or not caused. Parents could think that their education, background, raise their child way made up them as homosexual child.
