it's pretty obvious.

Living in Los Angeles, you'll eventually realize, there are A LOT of beautiful men who aren't attracted to women. I even jokingly said to a friend, "What are women to do, all the gorgeous men are gay?!" Of course there are lesbians and bisexuals as well. Maybe they help balance the numbers a bit. Is the rise in homosexuality staggering or am I living in an environment that makes it appear this way? If there is indeed a rise, why would it be so prolific at this particular time? I personally don't believe that all people choose their sexuality. Okay, maybe some people got "turned on" to same-sex pairings. Maybe some are experimenting. Mostly, I think many people don't get to choose. In the same way that I naturally prefer men, some women prefer women, and some men prefer men. 

 

I believe that in some ways homosexuality is a manifestation of nature. I'm not entirely sure why or what the reasons are. What if Earth is becoming too populated in some regions? Or, consider the strain we put on this planet in the ways we live and consume. What if same-sex preference is a way to correct or balance our impact? Of course it could be something entirely different or a combination of things. I read a few articles yesterday that were intriguing. Homosexual behavior is being reported as a phenomenon in animals. Homosexual behavior has also been observed in over 1500 species in the animal kingdom. Giraffes, dolphins, whales, and manatees have all-male orgies. Even lesbian birds are hatching chicks together. So, how does one argue that homosexuality goes against nature when nature is blatantly manifesting this characteristic? Research suggests that this behavior is a "necessary biological adaption for the survival of the species". Does the same not apply to humans? I know some will argue that humans can think and should use proper judgment. Some will even throw their bibles in the mix. To that I say, how do you "fix" a gay person? Should they be expected to live a lie? Should they be expected to force an attraction to the opposite sex? Or, are they expected to live solo, lonely lives so they don't upset God or society? I think all these expectations are ridiculous and judgmental. And yes, I'm judging your ridiculous expectations if you agree that people should live this way. I think it's arrogant and ignorant that we humans deem ourselves more evolved than other animals. These animals don't often express anger, hate, and rage against other animals who express same-sex fondness. Homophobia seems to be exclusive to humans.

I believe that souls are eternal and infinite energy. I believe we experience life in these physical bodies on this particular plane. These physical bodies don’t define the energy of our souls. They are simply temporary shells that attempt to contain our soul. If you should happen to be attracted to another energy or soul with the same sexual organs...what's the big deal? These bodies are temporary! We simply use these bodies to experience this life. When we're done, the bodies fade to dust or whatever remnant you'd like to call it. At the end of the day, I believe our souls are greater and more infinite than the genders we're assigned in this particular life.

Nature is a brilliant and powerful force. Amazing things are happening and we simple humans have no idea why. We claim control over things we have absolutely no control over. Nature is a lovely, humble beast that doesn't need credit for the magnificent things manifesting in this world. They simply happen with or without our discernment. Sometimes we attempt to steal this credit by thinking we have a choice. We think we get to choose when the choice has already been chosen. At the end of the day, we'll either laugh or cry at the ridiculous rules and beliefs we placed upon our existence. I think we should simply love who we love, respect the fragility of life and emotions, and realize the power of nature even if we don't entirely understand it.
