This document discusses homosexuality and whether it should be accepted or not. It begins by defining key terms like homosexuality, heterosexuality, bisexuality, and transgender. It then examines potential causes of homosexuality from an environmental, biological, and lifestyle perspective. Several arguments are presented for why homosexuality is considered a social problem, including that it violates religious texts, natural law, and increases disease. The document also discusses homosexuality in the context of the Philippines, noting it is currently not legally possible to have same-sex marriage. However, it discusses an ordinance in Davao City that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and Duterte's support for same-sex marriage if people want it.

ACCEPTABLE
OR
NOT?

3. What is HOMOSEXUALITY?

persons of the same sex.

attracted to men, and women are sexually and emotionally
attracted to women. This is also called same-sex attraction.

sexually attracted to people of their own sex
sexually attracted to both men and women
people who are born with typical male or female
anatomies but feel as though they’ve been born into the
“wrong body.”

6. What causes
HOMOSEXUALITY?The theories about the cause of homosexuality fall into three categories:
1. Environmental theory
a. General Family Influence
Researchers have provided evidence that gay men report having had
less loving and more rejecting fathers, and closer relationships with
their mothers, than non-gay men
For men, same-sex marriage was associated with having older mothers,
divorced parents, absent fathers, and being the youngest child.
For women, maternal death during adolescence and being the only or
youngest child or the only girl in the family increased the likelihood of
same-sex marriage

7. b. Parenting
Cameron , (2006) gay and lesbian parents would be more likely to have gay,
lesbian, bisexual or unsure (of sexual orientation) sons and daughters
c. History of Sexual Abuse (psychological variable)
Journal of the American Medical Association
"Abused adolescents, particularly those
victimized by males, were up to 7 times
more likely to self-identify as gay or
bisexual than peers who had not been
abused."

8. 2. Biological Theory
Temperament or possible genetic predisposition
The Gay and Lesbian Medical Association
recommends that people not use the argument
that homosexuality is biological because there is
simply not enough evidence
3. Food and Lifestyle theory
Cavan Sieczkowski from New York Daily News
chicken producers inject female hormones into the
fowl, "and because of that, men who consume
them have problems being men."

9. A neurobiologist from Amsterdam University,
Dick Swaab
-Pre-birth exposure to both nicotine and amphetamines increases the
chance of lesbian daughters.
-Pregnant women suffering from stress are also more likely to have
homosexual children of both genders because their raised level of
the stress hormone cortisol affects the production of foetal sex
hormones.

10. Why HOMOSEXUALITY is a social
problem?
1. Homosexuals experience abuses

2. We live in a Christian country
Lev. 20:13
“If there is a man who lies with a
male as those who lie with a woman,
both of them have committed a
detestable act; they shall surely be put to
death”

12. 3. Homosexual marriage violates the natural law
Natural law’s most elementary precept is that “good is to
be done and pursued, and evil is to be avoided.” By
his natural reason, man can perceive what is morally good
or bad for him. Thus, he can know the end or purpose of
each of his acts and how it is morally wrong to transform
the means that help him accomplish an act into the act’s
purpose.

By Kelvin Lee (Sun Star Davao)
December 19, 2014
Article 1 of the Family Code of the Philippines which states that "marriage is
a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman entered
into in accordance with the law for the establishment of conjugal and family
life..."
According to a professor from Ateneo de Manila (and now also Dean of FEU
Institute of Law) Mel Sta. Maria in her book on the Family Code: "Marriage
is a union founded on the distinction of sex. The law likewise provides
that the contracting parties must be a natural born male and natural
born a female." (Melencio Sta. Maria, Persons and Family Relations, p. 110,
4th Ed.).
