Moral Questions and Homosexuality

            Homosexuality wasn't officially identified or labeled until the late 19th century by a German psychologist, Karoly Maria Benkert according to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. That is why heterosexuality is a norm in our today's society because it has existed since the beginning of mankind. Although there is no exact evidence of the occurrence of homosexuality, our knowledge is only based on recent research and not enough risen questions about this issue. Some of it is due to the fact that lots of people in society choose not to question things like that in life, because the bible or any kind of religion prohibited such an act. This leads to the thought I had that most religions state certain rules after the occurrence of the act. .

             Corvino and Bradshaw discuss homosexuality with opposing ideas. They both have their own opinion with supporting ideas, however only one of them has a more logical and reasoned explanation. Let's first take Corvino's argument. He had the most difficult job perhaps, because he's opposing an idea that's considered immoral in this society. He has to address the main opposing arguments, state his logic argument and provide evidence. He gave an interesting argument for each raised issue concerning homosexuality because it was structured logically. My natural way of thinking towards homosexuality was being morally wrong only from my religious aspect. .

             Corvino had taken into consideration every argument for and against homosexuality and had given a very logical reasoning that made me look at it in a whole different perspective. He had challenged a broad amount of opposing arguments such as homosexuality is not justified to say it is natural and so people should always act on it. It seems easier for people to act upon someone else's thinking and keep it passing from generation to another with a lack of reasoning and understanding to why it is viewed as unnatural.
