I don't really mind homosexuals, it's not like it bothers me at all (I'm straight). People complain against these people but I don't get why they're complaining. Some say that they're doing the human race a disservice. Technically they're doing it more good than harm. It's fact that the world is overpopulated; the resources needed by humans supplied by the earth are running out quickly. Homosexuals, by not being able to produce offspring of their own, in a way, help regulate overpopulation by slowing the increase of humans on earth. If every human that ever lived was heterosexual, the world would probably have over 1 billion more people living today. This would deplete the world's resources at an astronomical rate. Earth, and the human race, would be at an end sooner than you might think.
As for the people saying that being homosexual is a choice, it's really not. Sure you might be able to fool others into thinking that you are heterosexual but you cannot change the functionality of your brain. As stated before, feelings are just the result of chemicals being released by your brain into your body. However, you do not have the concious choice as to what stimulates your brain into releasing said chemicals. Hell, if we could control the functions of our brains, we wouldn't need cars now would we? Not to be offending to homosexuals in any way, but the "normal" (using this term loosely, sorry if it's offensive) human is meant to be attracted to the opposite sex (hence why both a male and female are needed to produce offspring). A minor mutation in the genetic make up of the brain would cause the stimulators of the brain to change. This could mean the difference between being sensitive to light, having the sense of smell like a dog, or being homo/heterosexual. All in all, it all comes back to your brain. You don't have a choice as to how it works but you can understand why it works how it does.
Last but not least, I just want to know why people care if others are homosexual, heterosexual, or bisexual. What does it matter to you? If you are comfortable with your own sexuality, it shouldn't matter to you what other people are attracted to. It's my opinion that those who feel negatively towards those who have a different sexuality than them are not comfortable in their own. Perhaps they should focus on changing themselves rather than changing others.
Just my two cents. xD
