This weeks discussion was quite controversial. We discussed homosexuality and gender roles. Some of the things that really stuck out to me during our discussions were that there have been so many studies done in association to homosexuality and the family, and just homosexuality lives in general. But there are people out there that think the studies shouldn't be done and shouldn't exist because they want people to think and accept that homosexuals were just "born that way". But that's not it at all. Some girls are more masculine, and they are considered "Tom Boys", and some boys are more feminine, but people automatically categorize them as a homosexual. Why do we judge men that are more feminine but not women? Think about it. How many times do we see more feminine men and think, they must be gay? But when we see a masculine girl, we don't think that first. We shouldn't be deciding and telling those men that they are gay or homosexual. Just like "Tom Boys" there are men that are straight but have feminine personality traits. If those men are told over and over that they are gay, then eventually they may believe it. And one statement that my instructor mentioned was that "for every gay couple there are two women in the world that will never experience motherhood or marriage." So if there are men out there that are feminine or are struggling with same sex attraction but don't want it, we should help them and not judge them because of the way they talk, walk, act, or look. Everyone is different and that's how Heavenly Father intended it to be.
