Against Homosexuality

Homosexuality is against man’s nature. It is a rebellion against nature and yet
thousands upon thousand of men and women live such a vile and corrupt lifestyle. Within our liberal day and age many believe that homosexuality should be tolerated event to the point of being widely accepted, encouraged, and protected by new laws. Not only do liberal secularists believe this notion but also the liberal and cafeteria Catholics. Withinmy argument against homosexuality I will show that it is wrong and that it should not be tolerated, especially by those within the Church. I will begin by stating thathomosexuality goes against man’s nature. I will then state that something which goes against man’s nature will have many consequences such as AIDS. I will finally refute thearguments that gay “marriage” should be allowed just as a marriage between a man and awoman is allowed and the argument stating those that cannot help being homosexual. Throughout all of these arguments I will site various authoritative figures pertaining to each argument. In the end one will be able to see that homosexuality is at all times and in every which way wrong.
As I introduced this argument I made a very firm statement which I will now
address. I began by saying that homosexuality is against man’s nature and that it is a rebellion against nature. “ God created man and woman together and willed them for the other.” (CCC 371). Man is not made to have sexual attractions towards someone of thesame sex; rather, man is suppose to have attractions towards the opposite sex. “ Man andwoman were made ‘for each other’- not that God left them half made and incomplete: he created them to be a communion of persons (“bone of my bones…”) and complementaryas masculine and feminine.” (CCC 372).That is to say that by the very nature of a man and a woman they are created to be together. They are not created to be homosexuals.“Tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered’ . Theyare contrary to the natural law” (CCC 2357).There is an argument that is posed againstman’s nature saying that “some cannot help being homosexual, it is the way they are and were born”. “It [homosexuality] has taken a great variety of forms through the centuriesand in different cultures. Its physiological genesis remains largely unexplained.”(CCC2357). Homosexuality, many say, is a deep seated root and people are born with thesepre-existing inclinations toward the same sex. “Homosexual persons are called tochastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by thesupport of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should approach Christian perfection.” (CCC 2359). If one has a predisposition towards homosexuality and is said to be Christians he must live a chased life and “These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice if the Lord’s cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.”. Just because one might have a predisposition towards something does not mean that theyshould act upon it or that it is an acceptable lifestyle. Homosexuality is still against nature
even if one believes they were born that way.
Something that is in accordance with nature would not bring about diseases
which kill the body. Just as homosexuality, which is contrary to nature, brings about
diseases that are both mental and physical. These diseases which stem from an abuse of ones sexual nature, such as homosexuality, often bring about AIDS, depression and all often leading to suicide. One especially prominent disease that stems from abuse on thenature of sex is AIDS. AIDS is notably seen in homosexual circumstances, especially with homosexual men. While the men move from partner to partner they are far more likely to spread the disease. “In California, at least 67% of HIV/AIDS cases are directly linked to male homosexual behavior...”( ) and “Nearly half of all people living with HIV in the U.S. in 2006 were [MSM].”(CDC HIV/AIDS Facts,CDC.gov/hiv). As the facts draw on it evident to see that promiscuous homosexualbehavior spreads the epidemic of AIDS. Within “California, where a faction wants tolegalize homosexual relationships as ‘marriage’, has experienced 69,000 deaths due tohomosexual men as well as the homosexual women move from partner to partner overshort periods of time, enabling the rapid transmitting of AIDS.
Many within our societybelieve that marriage is a right and nothing more. They
believe that marriage is another “hurdle” that you pass in life and it can be tried over and over again until they are finally satisfied. Marriage within the Catholic Church is a union,it is a sacrament within the Church. The domestic partnership of the homosexuals, often referred to as “gay marriage” is nothing like that of an actual marriage. Man is not to be attracted to the same sex, rather to the opposite. “Sexuality is ordered to the conjugal love of man and woman” (CCC 2360).Marriage is the union between a man and a woman
allowing procreation and therefore the teaching of their children. Marriage is not just twopeople who decide to live together, fornicate and then decide to leave whenever theywant. Especially not when they are of the same sex. “Everyone, man and woman, shouldacknowledge and accept his sexual identity. Physical, moral, and spiritual difference andcomplementarity are oriented towards the goods of marriage and the flourishing offamily life. The harmony of the couple and of society dependsin part on the way in whichthe complementarity, needs, and mutual support between the sexes are to be livedout.”(CCC 2333). That is to say a man and a woman are to accept that yes they are different, but there is a reason for that. Men and women are different and in marriage theycomplement each other. In complementing each other they bring forth life and stabilityrather than the gay “marriage” that is obviously unable to procreate. The gay “marriage”is nothing like an actual marriage and it completely closes the gap to new life.
Homosexuality in every which way wrong and is an intrinsic disorder among
many of the ‘liberated’ people. No one benefits from any of this erroneous behavior, rather the unnatural behavior of homosexuality has caused diseases, hardships and has sadly lead many to despondently follow in the footsteps of other homosexuals. “Those shameful acts against nature, such as were committed in Sodom, ought everywhere and always to be detested and punished. If all nations were to do such things, they would be held guilty of the same crime by the law of God, which has not made men so that they should use one another in this way” (Confessions 3:8:15 [A.D. 400]). Homosexuality is not beneficial nor charitable to any one, it is an act of hatred among others and most especially against one’s own human nature.
