For now, I'll keep this short and sweet, but I promise I will expound upon it much more in the future. With this article, I'm not aiming to educate or explain, but merely to get your creative juices flowing. I want you to think about something that has been bothering me, and I want you to come up with your own answers and solutions to my dilemma. Tonight, I sit here wondering what it is that is so immoral about homosexuality. I guess, to be able to look at this question in proper perspective, we must first decide what about sex is moral. What is it to engage in a moral act of coitus?

To determine this, a good place to start is with the most popular book in human history, the Bible. While it comes in many different versions, each Bible has a book named "Exodus" in it. Each "Exodus" has a chapter 20. Each chapter 20 contains ten commandments that are supposedly the cornerstone of all Christian and Jewish religions. Of these ten commandments, only two of them broach the subject of sex. These two commandments are the sixth (thou shall not commit adultery), and the tenth (thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife).

Nowhere else in these ten commandments does it say, "thou shall not have a same gender sex partner." In fact, I think most of the world would be rather surprised to see just what the commandments don't say. But concentrating on what the ten commandments do say, particularly the sixth and the tenth commandments, it seems to me that the only immoral sexual act is to break your word and cheat on, or entice someone to cheat on their partner.

Additionally, it doesn't make sense to me that God would create an entire people that are immoral by nature. If we are to believe that we are all God's children, and that all of God's creations are good, then we must believe that there is nothing intrinsically immoral about homosexuality.

Homosexuals love and need love just as much as, and in the same ways as heterosexuals. We are all searching for a partner to journey through life with. If one were to base their condemnation of homosexuality on the grounds that their (homosexual's) relationships are based souly on sex, I would strongly encourage them to take another look at heterosexual relationships. After many years of self delusion, it now seems painfully obvious that heterosexual relationships are initially based souly on sexual interest.

So, I guess I'm just wondering, if homosexuality is immoral, then isn't it possible that all sexuality, hetero as well as homo is immoral? It would certainly seem to follow.
