What would you do if one day, you were woken up by

the brightness of a white light and the coldness of a steel

table, doctors in white suits all around your half naked
body, examining and poking you with cold silver objects.
You look for your parents but theyre in another room
behind a glass window crying. Then it clicks, you talked to
your parents the night before, you told them you were a
homosexual and they didnt accept it. Now they think you
have a disease or some sort of sickness in your brain and are
trying to get you back to normal.

Homosexuality is normal, whether some accept it or not,

it is just like being born left or right handed, you have no
choice, nor anything in your brain that can prove it. Which
then makes religious activists think that they have the upper
hand in this controversial problem. Although there is no
scientific proof, Rahman and Wilson mention fraternal
birth order, meaning that homosexual men are found to
have a greater number of older brothers than heterosexual
men do (Rahman, Q., & Wilson, G. 2002). This is stating
that the more older brothers a male individual has, the
greater chance he has of being born gay, as depicted in the
picture to the right.

Scientists have came up

with many theories other
than this one, some for
example being genetic and
twin studies, meaning that there could be a gay gene that
may go around the family and can affect each generation.
More importantly, according to Osmundson, studies on both
gay men and women have shown that the men have brain
responses more like straight females and vise versa for the gay
women (Osmundson J. 2010). There isnt exact brain
differences between homo or heterosexuals that you can
physically see without a machine scanning its waves, and I
like it like that, I feel like thats how it should be and its

proof that being born gay is something natural and shouldnt

be discriminized against.
Discrimination on an individuals sexual orientation is
unjust; being born gay is completely natural, nothing is
wrong with it nor does it make that person a genetic
mutation of some sort. We all have our differences, each in
our own way; we need to stop judging each other simply on
the basis of our sexual preferences. Everybody is unique in
there own way, and just because they are different doesnt
mean they should be treated differently. Most importantly,
does it really matter if being born gay is natural or not? This
controversial topic has been around for a while and we need
to put an end to it, because at the end of the day, were all
human beings and were all the same on the inside.
