History of Homosexuality: In the past several decades, homosexuality has been a major issue that has largely been investigated by social scientists but has attracted minimal attention from historians. The minimal attention to homosexuality by professional researchers in history is attributed to the stigma associated with this issue (Licata & Peterson, p.3). Since this topic has emerged as a major controversial and divisive issue across the globe, examining its history is significant in understanding
better understanding on one of the most controversial types of relationships, homosexuality. The topic of homosexuality isn’t easy to openly talk about but it is important as philosophy students, to have an open-mind about topics that we don’t partake in. Doing so allows us to promote new ways of thinking about the world around us and see them in a whole new light. In this personal response paper, I will discuss homosexuality in connection with the film Latter Days to determine why a homosexual relationship
Homosexuality (the tendency to be more sexually attracted to the same sex) is often confused with homosexual behavior (acting on homosexuality by engaging in homosexual acts), but the two are distinctly different.

I’ve chosen the ancient question; Is homosexuality genetic, developmental, or learned? I will try my best to take each option and consider them carefully and equally, as well as put in my perspective as its own form of an answer. In presenting each option and their pro-con sides, I will include my own thoughts as well as my thesis statements, which will be emboldened. This paper will go in-depth into the psychology and physiology of homosexuals. Studies from the past 20 years in 3 different countries

The Bible and Qur’an are both against the teachings of the stoics so it does not make a practical argument for the society we live in today.

Homosexuality is Abnormal and Immoral Of all topics most popular in today's media, issues concerning homosexuals and homosexuality in general top the list.

Museveni, the president of Uganda, is disgusted with the outbreak of homosexuality in his country and he wants LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) extinguished. Museveni believes that homosexuality was “provoked by arrogant and careless western groups that are fond of coming into our schools and recruiting young children into homosexuality” (Walker 30).
