Do u think homosexual sex should be criminalised?

In our life, we may encounter different kinds of people, whose work, whose appearance is almost same as other folks, but have led a different life. In other people's eyes, these people conduct their life in a weird way. Homosexuality is a sensitive topic in the society up to now. These homosexuals had even thirst for happiness more than anyone.

In today’s world, homosexual sex is also challenging traditional views, changing what society considers an unacceptable lifestyle in the past. It is still unacceptable in certain countries as the leaders think that it may corrupt the mind of its people.

A social opinion on homosexual sex, generally, views it as an action that is against the order of nature. It is not easily acceptable by most public and is seemed to link to Aids, anomalism and something bad. Some people may even think it is immoral to raise the topic to their child as they think it is a taboo.

Now a day, younger people are more open minded and they have view on their own. They know what is right and wrong for them. Generally, they are more able to accept on others people’s views. They are given more freedom to speak either in school or public.

In conclusion, I feel that homosexual sex should be not be criminalized. Everyone should have their freedom of life as long as it does not cause harm or inconvenience to others. Moreover, homosexual sex is an act of individual and thus these people should be responsible for their own actions.

  1. Hello!

    I do agree with your statement that everyone should have his or her freedom of life. As I mentioned in my entry, with such freedom comes responsibility. Homosexual sex should be done away from the view of the public. They have to understand that their acts can influence those younger generations who have little knowledge about sex. Imagine the message you will be sending across to these young children. They will grow up with the wrong perception about sex. As such, parents will definitely support the idea of criminalizing homosexual sex, as there is a need to protect their children.

    I also agree with your statement about the misconception the society has on homosexual sex. It seems to be linked to sexually transmitted diseases. We all know that this is not true. We have to understand that the spread of sexually transmitted diseases come from all over the society and not only through homosexual sex.

    Even so, the society will have a difficult time accepting such acts. The most common reason being that such acts are not in the order of nature. Interestingly, we do not see animals doing so.

    In conclusion, I think homosexual sex should be criminalized if the act was found to have offended someone. With freedom to do what they want, such individual will now have to be more responsible as not to spread the wrong message to our younger generations.

  2. Dear Yu Zhong
    I agree with your views about homosexuality but you expressed them only in the concluding paragraph as your first four paragraphs are what people on opposing sides say. I would like to hear your own views rather than what other people think.
    Cheers
