A Paradigmatic Change In Thinking About Homosexuality
:: ::

I think there are no such things as homo and heterosexuals-there are just sexuals. That's it! We need a male and a female to reproduce; however reproduction does not assume or necessitate an intimate relationship. Most species do not practice monogamy and have many sexual partners including engaging in same sex behaviors.

I believe most people have (had) sexual urges, thoughts and tendencies towards both sexes, which sex they choose to be sexual with is most likely decided by what the person thinks it “right or wrong”. We teach people these “basic rights and wrongs”. Where and when did it all start and why? I think that once we evolved enough to be able to think about thinking (the ability to rationalize and engage in abstract and logical thought) we began to establish interpersonal and sexual relationships based on other concepts such as person values, beliefs, feelings, and subjective ideals of attractiveness (which help for the continuation of the human species).

At this point, sexual behavior become associated with love and intimacy, therefore sexual relationships changed from merely reproductive purposes to relationships that meet intrapersonal and intrapsychic “needs” and “wants”, which also fulfill our new emotional and cognitive needs as an early-evolved human beings. Then, we decided that male and female sexual relationships are "right" merely out of the practical nature of the relationship as evidenced by the ability to reproduce the species and by our variety of new cognitive and emotional abilities that arouse from thousands of years of evolution. However, I think the species got caught up in the speed of evolution, taught male and female relationships are “right”, taught new offspring these values and beliefs through verbal communication, modeling, behavioral modification, and classical conditioning, which are also basic concepts in traditional psychology that have been tested for efficacy in tens of thousands of randomized controlled scientific studies.

In other words, we know that people learn through these means and others, we apply these concepts to all aspects of human life, however we neglect to apply them to most complex social issues due to the unequal distribution of power within our “free” country. When people express their sexual fantasies for both sexes, they are in my opinion acting more “naturally” than people who also have exclusively heterosexual thoughts and beliefs and subsequent behaviors. The ability to engage in more advanced thinking most likely occurred around the time that such documents like the Bible were being produced. So these initial, often rigid, ideas of the concepts of right and wrong were invented and recorded in early documents, such as the bible. So now, people read and interpret these dated “new” ideas from thousands of years ago and consider them to be fact and applicable now, merely because the ideas were documented. In fact, we can think about these early ideas as literally the baby steps of human thinking.

Today, we may classify these early thinkers cognitive abilities as developmentally delayed or mentally retarded. So, what does this information mean exactly? Well, first of all, I think these early ideas are just that, ideas! Ideas do not constitute fact. In my opinion publications like the Bible are really good for historical purposes of observing and studying early rudimentary human thinking and not to influence public policy and sexual attitudes (and other behaviors) in the United States and abroad. The more we evolved, the faster we evolve, which increases the overall speed of evolution and so forth. So, now we (many people) believe in exclusively heterosexuality and of host of other “rights and wrongs” that may be based off material and thoughts which have been rendered mostly useless in today's modern world. These are my opinions, you decide!
