Obama also said that homosexuality is no more immoral then heterosexuality. I think this quote is true on many different levels, first that the only justification that people have come up with for homosexuality to be immoral religion deems it unnatural. Second this thinking has led to many complications in gay rights. I think that a gay couple that has decided to spend their lives together should have all the same rights as a married couple; I know that marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman and blah blah blah. But, I’m not even talking about a religious marriage, because most religions disagree with a homosexual lifestyle. Which is fine, they can all agree to disagree and get over it, but I think that they should have equal rights as a married couple (such as being able to visit each other in the hospital). This is because rights and religion have NOTHING to do with each other at all. The rights are determined by the state and the state and church should be separate. So personally I feel that the state’s priorities should be equal rights first and religion never, because it would only complicate things. As for the whole homosexuality being unnatural which makes it immoral thing, that makes no sense to me at all. If you think about it in a philosophical sense, what is natural? And how does that determine the morality of a being or situation? Is Taco Bell natural? I wouldn’t think so but American’s seem to be fine with that. Are debit cards, lawnmowers, band aids, and skydiving really natural? I feel like these things aren’t natural at all. So I’m not saying that homosexuality may be natural, but I am saying that unnatural isn’t a bad thing at all, and it definitely has nothing to do with morals.
