Is Homosexuality Abnormal?

Homosexuality is a description of those people who tend to love the same sex as they are. In other words, they are also called gays or lesbians. Nowadays, homosexuality has become a popular issue that provokes the public to think about whether it 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 this concept was still not normally accepted, they 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 and has something to do with genes; 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.
