Stupid Girl

Personally, I believe that homosexuality is both a physically and emotionally harmful practice to the persons who engage in it and society at large, if left to spread.

Although Hollywood is consistently advertizing images of the happy, healthy, well-adjusted homosexual, the media is not depicting the instability, promiscuity, and unhealthy and risky sex practices, factors that greatly increase the incidence of serious and incurable sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including hepatitis, HPV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and AIDS. Although heterosexuals are by no means immune to these risks, statistics show that homosexuals are most likely to engage in loose, promiscuous relationships that are precarious to their health.

Not only are homosexual relationships and marriages harmful to the physical health of those involved, but they are also harmful to the emotional psyche of homosexuals and those around them. Studies show that homosexual men are two times as likely to beat their partners as heterosexual men (VirtueOnline). In many cases, this abuse is more damaging emotionally than physically. Studies also show that homosexuals are more likely to have mental illnesses. There are many speculations as to why this occurs, but the most conclusive answer is that “widespread prejudice against homosexual people causes them to be unhappy or worse, mentally ill” (D. Bailey).

Physically and emotionally, homosexuality has proven itself to be dangerous.  This practice cannot be allowed to legalize itself and make its way into the “conventional” American lifestyle. Homosexual relationships will always occur and are not a new concept. However, American government would be legalizing a major threat if it legalized the marriage of homosexuals.
