It isn’t unusual to see two men walking hand in hand and talking intimately on the streets nowadays. There are articles and TV programs about homosexuality, and movies about it can be very hot among people. There seems to be a big change in people’s attitude toward homosexuality. It was a big humiliation for people to have homosexual act in the past, however, people are indifferent to it nowadays and some may even show great interest in it.

People may say that it is quite normal for us to commit homosexuality today. Influenced by some madmen’s opinion, many people think that a man has his right to choose a guy as his spouse. What is worse, many programs on TV teach people to show tolerance and acceptance to homosexuality. But in my opinion, it is very disgusting to see two men walking hand in hand or two women kissing each other intimately.

The world is very different from what it used to be, and tremendous changes have taken place. However, many of these changes seem to lead us nowhere. Homosexuality is an averse act, since it betrays human nature. How can a man marry another man or a woman marry another woman? I have pondered over this phenomenon for a long time, but I can’t find out what is going on in those people’s mind. I don’t know exactly the reasons why people can be indifferent to homosexuality. However, after I have spent days thinking about it, I found there may be three explanations for it.

In the first place, it has become a vogue for a man to act like a woman and for a woman to act like a man today. A contest called Super Girl was very popular among people last year. Many beautiful girls with adorable voices took part in this contest and a girl called Li Yuchun got to the top at last. Li was a girl with short hair and a masculine voice; she often acted like a boy in the performances. However, she gained thousands of people’s support by her masculine appearance and voice. Since then, many girls have begun to act and dress in the way Li does and it has become a fashion for girls to act like boys. What is worse, there are also many boys who act and dress like girls nowadays. There are boys who wear long hair or wear cute earrings walking composedly in the streets. How terrible! The difference between male and female is diminishing. So a man can marry another man who acts like a woman and a woman can marry another woman who is masculine.

For the second reason, those people who commit homosexuality are just trying to seek some extraordinary excitements. Young people, especially some white-collars, can easily feel bored of regular entertainment. They have little passion for making friends, dating, watching movies and so on. They feel very empty in their spare time, so they may be indulgent in something abnormal. It seems cool for them to be homosexuals and they just do this to show their differences from others. This, just like drug taking, although thought to be bad, is becoming more and more popular among those who need something special and thrilling.

There is a third reason: the mass media are misleading us everyday. It is not adventitious to see some madmen beating the drum for homosexuality in some TV programs nowadays. It is often said that some people have special sexual lust and they don’t need to repress themselves. People are encouraged to satisfy their sexual needs, including homosexual need. Influenced by these evil remarks, more and more homosexuals appear in public and do whatever they want.

Our society is developing and it is often said that one should keep pace with time. However, should we try our best to persuade ourselves to accept homosexuality? Have we entered an age when heterosexuality is out of fashion?
