Constructing an Argument: Homosexuality

David Brizuela

Step1: Clearly state the issue in the form of a question?

Is homosexuality wrong?

Step 2: Develop a list of premises that address the issue.

· Homosexuality is not condoned in the Bible.

· Homosexuality is anti-procreation.

· Homosexuals have a higher incidence of infidelity.

· Every person has the right to choose their own sexual orientation.

Step 3: Eliminate the weak or irrelevant premises.

The weak and irrelevant premises that should be eliminated would be that homosexuals have a higher incidence of infidelity because it is irrelevant to the argument.

Step 4: Establish a conclusion.

Homosexuality is not wrong or good for the simple fact that it is an orientation that exist in our nature so it cannot be considered as good or bad. Homosexuality is present in the animal kingdom, this indicates that is relevant in our nature. Sexuality is an aspect and a fundamental part of the personality the human being. You cannot deny, cannot hold back, you cannot hide, you cannot leave. Homosexuality should be and must be addressed naturally, so appropriate, objective, realistic and scientific, without shame, without fear, without shame. No one can reject this ideology, because they really are facts and realities objective and scientific. Therefore, it is logical that in a short time, gradually, homosexuals are accepted, respected and loved by the vast majority members of society and indeed, this is happening. Also, The Bible does not address the issue of gay attraction. It is only in reference to possible or decadent pagan practices of the surrounding cultures. The Bible never consider for a moment the feelings of a gay person who honestly feel attraction to another of the same sex, and that only that person of the same sex can satisfy not only sexually but also emotionally and affectively.
