Is Homosexuality Abnormal?
Homosexuality is a description of those people who tend to love the same gender as they are. Those people are so-called gays or lesbians. Nowadays, homosexuality has become a controversial issue that provokes the public to think whether such sexual orientation is acceptable or not because it was once said to be shameful and abnormal. “ In the closet” is a form to describe such kind of situation that they suffer from. Since homosexuality was still not broadly accepted, those people are not allowed to pursue their love directly; thus, they suffer from great pain. However, as time went by, they started to fight for their rights for pursuing and expressing their affection to their love ones without being repelled; during these campaigns, conflicts could not be avoided. I am of the opinion that the concept of “ all men are created equal” can be used in this situation. Everyone has his/ her right to live in his/ her own style and pursue happiness. Homosexuality is nature born for sure; therefore, they should not be treated as abnormal people. There is a research that it happened not only in human world but also in animals’. In China, the public was said to accept this concept in the Han Dynasty. It was not until the discrimination of homosexuality spread into China that the Chinese started to show despise on them. Therefore, we should start to change the stereotype among those people by heart and not be influenced by the hatred that was not base on equality.

There are a large body of debates (and sometimes cliche discussion)about "sextual preference" (choice) versus "sextual orientation" (innateness). I suggest you look at the question from the perspective of "sextual identity" and discuss how it relates to language learning. References to gay or lesbian relationships, customs, or characters are likely to be seen as signifying sextual identity. However, they seem too narrow. There are a diverse range of sextual identities, relationship types, sextual values, AIDS issues, etc. Since 1980s, Queer theory, which problematizes all sextual identities, has been used to observe discussions about the topic of sextual identities in ESL/EFL classes and analyze discursive and cultural practices. Maybe it is a good starting point for your inquiry.
I agree with your point about homosexuality. You put yourself in homosexuals position and treat them with a objective perspective.
You illustrate you ideas very well about you attitude toward homosexuality. Moreover, you explain this phenomenon very clearly about how it forms and develop. I think you can add more about evidence and can focus on the specific point to make a thorough research, such as how the phenomenon forms.
yeah,i agree with Emma that there are many cliche about gay topic~ and in my opinion, i think what you have pointed out are right, but somehow i thought your opinions are too general.You should focus on a more narrow one.
