Homosexuality is as old as all of mankind. It is also known in the animal kingdom. Lots of people are still very xenophobic though. I think that homosexuals are normal people and therefore, they should be treated equally in society and have equal rights, such as to get married or adopt children.
Some people think that homosexuality is some kind of sexual deviation. They consider gays and lesbians not normal and immoral. I totally disagree with this view of homosexual people. I think that gay people are normal; the only difference is their sexual orientation. As heterosexuals fancy the opposite sex, homosexuals simply fancy the same sex. They can feel the same love, excitement and also hatred and jealousy. Some of them are promiscuous and prefer one-night stands and some of them seek a stable relationship and faithfulness. Many people still do not know how to embrace gay people, they still expect them to behave in a strange way, e.g. they expect gays to fancy and want all men so they are sometimes worried of sexual harassment and molesting. This is again a big misunderstanding of the nature of homosexuality. I do not expect a normal heterosexual man to fancy all women and even if he fancies some woman I do not expect him to “jump” on her senselessly. And it works exactly in the same way with a homosexual man, just the object of the attraction is man.
There are also many people who like homosexuals as a target of their jokes. That is caused by social prejudices. As well as some people think that all blondes are stupid, they think that gays must behave like women with all the feminine movements and funny talking. Lesbians are than considered to be half-men. I find these jokes to be silly and stupid. Of course, that some gay people behave in this way, but it is not a rule, I do not even see this kind of behaviour to be something to be made fun of.
It is interesting that lesbians are more acceptable than gays for some people. Seeing two women making love is quite a common sexual fantasy of men. So why are they usually disgusted by the image of two men having sex? They think that seeing two men being gentle to each other is kind of an insult or a humiliation of the traditional masculinity. Men should be strong and have the macho ego. I do not agree with sexist opinions.
