Homosexuality is not a choice and is ok.

Opening I want to start by saying I will not argue that Homosexuality is a choice. I relies this is in the debate title but in my opponents opening statement he/she never brings up this point. They simply state, “If you feel you can, using science and observable phenomenon, prove that homosexuality is in some way wrong, feel free to comment and/or challenge.” Therefore I will not be arguing that people chose homosexuality but simply give proofs for why homosexual actions are wrong. My argument will be as follows: 1. Our body parts have purposes 2. It is wrong use our body contrary to it’s nature 3. Homosexual acts use the human body contrary to its nature. Also let me define some terms for clarification: Nature: Dealing with the natural law, not to be confused with something simply found in the universe. Ordered: Something directed/oriented/leading to the end of that thing according to its nature. Disordered: Something not leading to the end of a thing, against its nature. Example: A tree has a nature that makes it grow. Rain and sunlight are ordered to bring about the end of growth. A lumberjack cuts the tree down and cuts off the tree from its end. Therefore to the tree the act of the lumberjack is disordered and wrong. ************************************************************************************* Our Body Parts Have Purposes Before we talk about homosexuality we must first have a basic understanding of our human anthropology. The fundamental purpose of each of our body parts is not something that we decide for ourselves, but rather something we discover. For example, no one wakes up one day and decides for themselves their ears are for hearing, eyes for seeing, or nose for smelling. The purposes of our body parts are self-evident, or have intrinsic natures. We do not choose their purposes we discover them. For a males reproductive organ it has an intrinsic nature to ejaculate semen to fertilize an egg, and this is self-evident. It is Wrong to Use Our Body Contrary to Its Nature This is a very simple premise. If our body parts have purposes, then to use them against their purpose is wrong, otherwise the purpose would not exist. So Just as it is wrong to want eat with our nose, it is also wrong to use our reproductive organs outside the act heterosexual intercourse. Homosexual Acts Use the Human Body Contrary to Its Nature This is accepted by everyone with all our body parts. Yet for some reason when we go below the belt to our reproductive organs everything becomes relative. Now I decide for myself what my body parts are for and who are you to tell me I’m wrong. The reality is the male and female reproductive organs also have an intrinsic nature and homosexual acts are not aligned to this nature. Since the male and female reproductive organs have as the end of their use the procreation of life any act that is not ordered to bring about that end is against its nature. This does not mean heterosexual acts the do no create life are disordered because the act itself is still ordered for the end of life. If some other factor such as an infertile period mean no life is created it is not the act of sex that caused it but rather the infertility. Homosexual actions on the other hand are never ordered for the procreation of life since they use the reproductive organ outside its nature. Sources: 1. http://www.aquinasonline.com...
