I find it strange that when it comes to cousin marriage people don't have a problem (despite there being genetic defects if it happens from generation to generation) but when it comes to homosexual people then people hate them.
But then again, it may have something to do with the major religions condemning homosexuality.
My point is that people need to be more open minded about homosexual people just like they are about cousin marriage. People who are homosexual didn't choose to be that way just like you didn't choose to be heterosexual.
I have to disagree.
When men and women get married, they procreate. When men and men get married, nothing happens. It's just not the way of nature.
Homosexuals need to find ways to believe in the fact that they too were made to be with women.
I know, what I’m saying is that many people normally think cousin marriage is GAY, and they would be disgusted knowing that one of their friend’s is married to their cousin. These people are close minded and would be better if they were educated about it and actually talked and found out more about people who married their cousins.
So apply the same logic to gay people. Have an open mind and talk to gay people and find out more about them. They are normal just like you and me, except they have a different sexual orientation.
Actually, gays have reverted back to being heterosexuals. So, it can be changed.
Then they were straight in the first place and just experimenting! For example, someone posted this one story in another forum:
This one area in Pakistan woman are all covered up and guys are separated from woman. So a lot of guys end up having relations and getting physical with other guys and these same guys end up marrying a woman later on. These are straight people.
I'm not saying anything is wrong with cousin marriages. It's only wrong if cousin marriages keep happening from generation to generation within the family as chances of birth defects increase.
My point is that people need to be more open minded about homosexual people just like they are about cousin marriage. People who are homosexual didn't choose to be that way just like you didn't choose to be heterosexual.
Edit: Btw, concept of homosexuality DOES disturb me but I like to mind my own business and not discriminate against these people since I know that they can't be changed and they're just born that way.
There is no comparison between cousins marriage and homosexuality. Cousin marriage is a normal thing it has some pro and cons that too in cases where people only get married in their relatives but its not against nature. Homosexuality is against nature. Its not a big issue in Pakistan only.. I have seen in other GORA forums where they are against this as well.
