First Self Evaluation

Although it is still extremely difficult to view homosexuality as something that needs to be changed, I can now more clearly see how others may believe this. Because of tradition, religion, and family guidelines, some people are taught that it is abnormal to be attracted to someone of the same sex as you, while for others, we are taught that homosexuals are just another type of people- just like people of different race or religion.

I now understand that the Catholic Church does not condemn homosexuals, they just see it as a problem, like a disease or injustice in our world, which needs to be fixed. It is not fair that these people have different feelings than the average person. Just like, it is unfair that some people in our world must starve to death, when other people, like me, can reach into the cupboard to grab a snack whenever I would like. It is not fair that these people have been conditioned to like the same sex, while the majority of the world can appreciate the beauty of having both worldviews in one’s life- masculinity and femininity.

In order to cease this problem of homosexuality to perpetuate, it is therefore very important to stress the differences between the two sexes. Both sexes share in a whole, in which combine to form the beauty of humanity. Dressing in accordance to one’s gender, then, helps to fix this problem. It also helps to reiterate the differences between the two sexes. For example, if girl were to dress inappropriately during Halloween, most would assume that she is promiscuous, even if she was not. It is also important so that homosexuals may learn from example, instead of being more confused with their sexual orientation.
