4 Myths About Homosexuality Debunked

 Myth 1 - Homosexuality is a Choice:

If that's true, then so is heterosexuality.
People who are gay cannot help being gay. Whether it is caused from birth or is developed is irrelevant. The fact remains that it is beyond the gay person's control. It is not something they can choose. 
If a person is not free to make a choice then they logically cannot be held responsible for the consequences of the 'choice' they are forced into. Therefore it cannot be 'wrong' of them to be gay.

Ridiculous things like conversion therapy can be psychologically harmful and so called "successful" converts simply repress their self, and later go on to commit suicide because of it.

 Myth 2 - Homosexuality is Harmful:

So far, the death and injury toll for being being harmed by other's homosexuality or their own is... none. 
Merely having a different sexuality does not bring harm to gay people, nor to others.

The reason the life expectancy for gay people is so low is because in many backwards third world countries, being gay is an executable crime, and in first world countries, ignorant a**holes spout and practice homophobia. 
The stigma society places on gay people is the problem, not being gay itself. 

All the stigma can eventually lead to suicide and depression.

Being gay is not a mental illness. Is heterosexuality a mental disorder? No. Neither is being gay. It is a sexuality. Just because it's different, doesn't magically mean it's a disorder.

Also, this bullshit about being gay causing cancer simply isn't true. Cancer can be stimulated by increased stress levels over a long period of time, caused by... oh I don't know... people telling you horrible lies like that your perfectly natural sexuality is somehow scum of the earth and harmful. :/ Again, clearly homophobia and stigma is the cause, not being gay itself.

And whether or not if AIDs is a common disease in homosexuals, that is a health related issue of the spread of a disease, not actually one caused by homosexuality, but by bacteria and viruses.

And contrary to popular belief, being gay has no little to effect on population whatsoever. There have always been gay people proportional to the total population, and since gay people haven't given birth, the birth rate only counts those people who are giving birth. A birth rate is only representational of those who actually give birth. Therefore gays don't even affect it in the slightest! 

Being gay harms no-one. That is not an opinion. It's an objective, observable and provable fact. The mere state of being homosexual has never injured or killed anyone.
Simply put, there's no harm in one's sexuality. That's as ridiculous as claiming that one's skin colour is harmful or one's finger length is harmful.

 Myth 3 - Homosexuality Is As Bad As Pedophilia:

No. That is utterly ignorant drivel.
First of all homosexuality is a sexuality, and pedophilia is a paraphilia. Sexuality doesn't equal paraphilia.

"Paraphilia - n. a condition characterized by abnormal sexual desires, typically involving extreme or dangerous activities."
The key point here is "abnormal sexual desires" which in basic words means that paraphilias have to do with things that aren't normally considered sexual, i.e. are abnormal. 
It's perfectly normal to have a sexual attraction to another adult human being.

And of course, homosexuality isn't completely about the sex, meaning that it isn't solely a sexual desire and thus cannot be a paraphilia.
All of this considered, it is pretty obvious that homosexuality IS a sexuality.

Secondly, consenting partners of the same sex having safe sex harms no-one. It doesn't psychologically or physically damage anyone.

An adult having sex with a child that isn't able to give proper consent, and isn't even biologically ready for it, is very harmful both psychologically and physically to the child.

Kid molesting creeps can be heterosexual and they can be homosexual, so sexuality isn't the cause of it. 
Therefore, homosexuality isn't equatable pedophilia. 

 Myth 4 - Homosexuality is a Sin:

A sin is something bad. There's nothing bad about homosexuality. Homosexuality is not harmful to anyone, and the only harm that occurs is caused by the stigma society brings upon gays and the hate from homophobes, not from being gay itself.

If your God wants to judge people for something they cannot control, then he's in the wrong, not the gays. And to all you homophobic Christians out there, it says in the Bible, "judge not". Follow your own advice.
Before you go around trying to force religion on others, actually show some testable evidence for His existence first, otherwise you can shut up about your immoral imaginary friend. Religion is not based on reality or evidence, therefore it has no place when it comes to our laws and morals. Religious beliefs do not come before people's basic human rights.
