In today's news and media, it seems that the topic of homosexuality and whether it is morally acceptable or unacceptable are discussed daily. Many people believe that homosexuality is a problem and that ceremonies such as same-sex marriage should not be allowed. However, what makes homosexuality considered wrong?
