Linking arguments
It is morally acceptable to have a homosexual orientation
JMC001



Supporting arguments

Given that most religions have the good/moral god as the creator, and that most also hold love as one of the highest human emotions (to being a fulfilled individual) or human virtue, it would be seemingly contradictory to be both a'good/moral' god and create a being who is incapable of expressing one of the highest human emotions without being 'immoral'. This argument is only relevant within religious frameworks which make the above two assumptions; this does include Christianity. Can you supply this point with a source that proves it is earnest? Do it yourself or provide the link on the talk page.


This point relies on Christian doctrine.
Homosexuality is unnatural because it goes against God's intended plan for human sexuality, described in the Bible. People should instead follow God's will by not performing same-sex sexual behavior. [1]

Opposing arguments

Many things that are unnatural are almost universally viewed as good, such as modern medicine. There is no reason to value nature for its own sake. [2]


Everything that occurs occurs within nature. There is nothing outside of nature, and therefore even the most terrible and immoral actions are just as "natural" as any others. [3]


Homosexuality is morally wrong, regardless of whether people have a genetic predisposition towards it. Such a predisposition is morally no different than a genetic inclinations towards alcoholism, lust or extreme anger. Individuals should avoid succumbing to temptations regardless of natural predispositions. [4]


This point relies on Christian doctrine.
Regardless of the naturalness of homosexuality, same-sex sexual behavior is condemned in the Bible. [5]
