Is it me, or have I missed something here? All of a sudden (or maybe not, depending on how perceptive I am), it would appear that homosexuality is no longer considered to be a lifestyle choice, but a state of being. In other words, it would seem to be accepted that people, rather than choosing how to express their sexuality, are either born homosexual or not . <\/p>\n
Did I miss the great scientific articles detailing this? Do the people I know, who have had homosexual relationships in the past, but are now happily married (heterosexual monogamy), denying their very being? (And I’m not talking about teenagers with hormones all over the place, but those in middle age.)<\/p>\n
I understand why the laws on sexual and racial discrimination are in place – you are born a certain gender, and of a certain ethnicity. Even then, a hostel may legally discriminate on gender, allowing only females to stay, or a bus might be designated for females only. We understand that there are differences between the genders, as well as similarities. Why should those who have chosen a particular lifestyle be given greater rights than those who are born a certain gender? If the Sexual Orientation Regulations come into force, a hostel would not be allowed to refuse a homosexual couple a double bed, even if it offers two single beds instead.<\/p>\n
Surely, before we even consider passing legislation on sexual orientation discrimination, we should determine whether sexual orientation is more than just a lifestyle choice?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
