Homosexuality
Just this past January, a private school rescinded a job offer because a man confessed his homosexuality. Confessed is actually the wrong word. There is nothing wrong with being who you are. It is an inevitable truth that he embodied. We live in a society with fixated truths and predestined determinants of what is morally right and wrong. Many activists have divided to attack discrimination from all angles. This man did nothing more than add to his common application. Name, gender, age, and sexuality. They define people. They define us.
This society is nearly finished with what defines a normal human being. That is where I ask, "Is there truly a perfectly normal human being?" Nobody can perfect all aspects of being normal to every single person. We all try to assimilate, but we can not fabricate our true personas. Homosexuality, along with race, religion, and gender, are deemed "controversial issues," that could "drastically" alter our societies. No, they are normal human qualities that help us distinguish one another. These inherent characterisitcs define us.
