The Choice of a New Generation


Suppose you were one of three survivors of the human race after some worldwide catastrophe. You are one of only two men and one woman left alive. Both men are homosexual. The question for this intellectual exercise is “does mankind survive?” Since necessity is the mother of invention it would seem that one or both men would have to mate with the female in order to begin repopulation of the earth. However, that can only happen if there is a choice regarding sexual activity. In essence behavior would be selected despite ones prevailing feelings. In this situation there are no more conventions, nor political correctness required. Survival as a species would rule behavior.

Let’s further suppose that the two men are not attracted to one another. Do they cavort and carry on simply because they are “gay”? Does one or both of them join with the female to create a marriage type relationship or do they redefine the “family unit” in a completely new way?

All of the possibilities come down to choice. Each selection may require something greater for the whole rather than the individual. In such a scenario, judgments would have to be made. The resulting choices would reflect priorities, and might direct one to certain behavior. Can you imagine the uproar between the three survivors if each of them has a strong libido and everyone believes that they have been “born” into their sexuality? Is it a sacrifice to sleep with each other, or will biology simply dictate interaction between them all?

The preference for the men to desire each other would be no less strong than before the caliphate and with a lack of desire for one another would they shrivel and die? Would they make the best of each other? While their predisposition might lead them to get together, it would certainly seem that the behavior between all three of these tragic figures would be all about choice.

Much like today, one might have feelings for another of the same gender. Is it natural? Is it an abomination? None of that matters. Whether you feel more excitement, stimulation, or a feeling of wholeness with your own gender, the truth of the matter is that behavior is a controllable element of the human make-up. We choose to behave in a certain manner given the circumstances and our feelings.

If you want to be gay, then be gay. If you do not, then don’t. However, if you have feelings of homosexuality and don’t want to behave in such a manner then you have the power to avoid such behavior. There have been many men and women who have lived happy, married lives even with these same-gender-attraction feelings. It has only been since the 1960’s in which this society has placed the “self” ahead of the “all", and that illicit behavior has gained acceptance in the culture. Make no mistake however, that while your feelings may be as genuine as possible to another of the same gender, the behavior biologically is a perversion. If tab A is biologically meant to go into slot B, then putting it into slot C is abnormal. You are the one putting the puzzle together, however. That is where society finds the rub. Same gender relationship participants’ focus upon the beauty of feelings, and those finding it perverse can’t get past the physical nature of how our bodies were designed.

Certainly homosexuals can be married to members of the opposite sex. There are plenty of examples of marriages lasting as long as a lifetime when one partner is bisexual, homosexuals or leans in a cross-gender manner. They listen to what their heart and mind is telling them. Comparatively however, you are not really an athlete unless you compete. You are not a doctor unless you train, quell your fears of surgery, and become capable of behaving like a physician. You might have the strong desire to live off the land and farm it, but until you actually plant and grow crops you are not really a farmer in the eyes of society.

The point is that feelings are a perspective. It is behavior that is our presentation to the world, and we each control our own. Every generation lives off of their choices; not inborn predisposition, despite campaigns to make it so. Bravo for your choice; but realize that with each alternative comes distinct consequences. Like everything else in life be prepared for the consequences of your actions, and don’t try to rewrite the laws of nature, simply to make you feel better.
