The legalization of homosexuality

Well, a High Court in India has given orders to discriminalize the homosexuality. This has started a big debate in India.

There are people who support homosexuality and there are others who are against it. The people who support it go on to argue that they should also have rights to live like a normal human being. However, the people who oppose it, are arguing that this is against their culture, religion, the law of nature etc. I have also listened to an RSS-spokesman saying that if few people enjoy stealing, it doesn't mean that theft should be legalized.

The main issue here is whether homosexuality comes in a category similar to stealing? If it does, it should never be legalized. Otherwise, the homosexuals must be given all the rights what others enjoy.

In my opinion, even after keeping the religious and cultural views completely aside, the act of homosexuality is surely unnatural. It can be easily proven after thinking of the special ways our body parts are designed by nature based on the dedicated purposes assigned to these. If there is something in some particular way, it has a purpose and that design is best suited to achieve the purpose (if you are really skeptical about it, send me a private message).

Now, the next question arises: so what? If someone does something unnatural of his own, why do others have problem? Well, there IS a problem. The society gets contaminated. Homosexuals are actually indirectly influencing others to try this unnatural act. Mature people may not get influenced that much but the children actually may get. Even if they actually don't exercise it in practice, influencing others doing something unnatural is wrong in itself. The whole society gets contaminated because of the unnatural desires of few individuals. Therefore, this act must not be supported or legalized in any way. If the homosexuals want it citing their right of sexual orientation, well, they should make their own society completely separate from the rest of the people. They can do there whatever they want but they should not be allowed to contaminate others by their unnatural acts.

UPDATE:
I have followed discussion on forums about this topic. All of them are citing human-rights of the homosexuals and their freedom of sexual choice as a justification behind its legalization.

The opponents are sometimes citing the cultural and traditional aspects of society and the view that the majority sees it as unacceptable. However, that's not so much of a concern. The world is changing and so should the culture and traditions. If something is wrong in a particular culture, or some particular tradition is wrong, it should be changed. The world must progress to an absolute betterment in anyway by eliminating its wrong aspects. In conclusion, the argument that homosexuality should be banned because it's against a culture doesn't sound very persuading. Also, welfare of minorities(homosexuals) should not be left upon the mercy of the majority.

To make the decision, the whole thing comes down to whether the homosexuality is "right" or "wrong". If "right", doesn't matter how many people oppose it, doesn't matter how different it is than a custom or culture, it should be legalized. Otherwise, it should never be, even if it violates homosexuals' individual human-rights. It is because they live in a society and they just can't cite violations of their human-rights because a society doesn't allow them to exercise their "unnatural and wrong" acts, be it homosexuality or something else. If they absolutely feel that their life is their own anyway and they must continue their whatever ideas at whatever cost after citing references to their freedom of sexual choice, they should find a way that doesn't harm others. But if it does, they can't exercise their wrong ideas because it affects the whole society in a wrong way. Before asking for the legalization of homosexuality, they must think of this popular phrase: "Right to swing your hands cease to exist where my nose begins" :-)

If someone comes up with some solid and persuading argument in favor of the homosexuality, I'm surely willing to listen to them. But plz don't give the arguments of violation of human-rights and freedom of choice to justify it. I already have talked about it enough in this article.
