Essay / Same-sex relationships - 1825
“I'm beautiful in my own way/ 'Cause God makes no mistakes/ I'm on the right track, baby/ I was born that way/ Don't hide in regret/ Love- you and you're ready/ I'm on the right track, baby/ I was born this way. » Lady Gaga, the famous pop culture singer and songwriter behind the lyrics above, is a well-known supporter of gay rights. . Her words and actions support LGBT (lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender) causes around the world. The main topic of today's media scene, it is almost impossible to turn on the television without hearing about the latest issues related to homosexuality, and some are for or against same-sex relationships. Like Lady Gaga, there are many recognizable media figures – of varying sexual orientations – who support homosexuality. Among actors, musicians, United States President Barack Obama and everywhere else are heterosexual and homosexual clients of same-sex relationships. However, there are many who oppose the idea of same-sex relationships, but perhaps if they were presented with scientific evidence justifying homosexuality, many opinions might change. And that's what science is trying to do. With the support of research and scientific evidence, it is safe to conclude that homosexuality is the result of genetic characteristics one is born with. The practice of homosexuality has been around for thousands of years and, whether people want to admit it or not, it is a major part of world history. Homosexual attitudes and behavior date back to ancient Rome, for example in the city of Pompeii, where it was not uncommon to engage in homosexual acts. In fact, when the entire city was in the middle of paper, she was born with it. Today, gays are still widely criticized for their lifestyle. And I have a hard time understanding why anyone would willingly choose that for themselves. That being said, just as God created my DNA making me a heterosexual individual, He created the DNA of every homosexual individual. Works Cited Galas, Judith C. Gay Rights.
