Topic of the Day: Homosexuality
Ah another random thought....
i was just thinking about it for no particular reason, and whoever reads this will have an insight to how weird i am.
Anyways, humour me for a few minutes while i ponder one of the age old question of Homosexuality.
My first question goes like this...
Do you think there was ever a homosexual caveman?
My hypothetical answer to the question would probably be no.
(Although i can't help but imagine our male cavemen upon discovering the wonders of intercourse, chucking their phaluses to every hole they can encounter o.o)
Anyways, you might debate me on this, but my answer is purely due to the under developed brain of the soon to be homo sapiens. Thus, their capacity to think is limited by their actual animal/survival instinct. I myself don't know of any known expression of homosexuality between the animal kd (except for male dogs, rats, etc, humping another male which animal experts describe as assertion of dominance). With all that being said, i think that homosexuality didn't exist as partnership in those times was majorly due to a social consciousness of reproduction/ insurance of specie survival.
This moves us though to what i hypothesize as the origin of homosexuality. With the completely evolved homo sapien's brain structure, we were able to advance in civilization. There is no more nomadic movement , and more of established societies. One of the earliest documented homosexuality is that of the greek culture. Of men taking apprentices and engaging in homoeroticism. Now what did the greek culture have compared to our early nomadic ancestors? this was an established society, without the worry of survival as a specie. This was a civilization that spurned philosophers and inventors. As people had more time to think and discern, the survival instinct started to lessened.
This trend is a reflection of our society today, that partnership has shifted from survival instincts, to just plain emotional attachment/companionship. With this, we can neglect the gender of the partner, and stick to looking at them as an individual. An interesting survey that was discussed in my class today stated that 5% are purely straight, 5% are purely gay, and the rest falls between. We can't deny the influence of our culture though to why the majority still is straight, but we can't neglect the rising admission of non straight genders anymore. This i consider as a new classification of species which i classified as the "homo queerectus."
My only problem with this is the conservative part of our society who still makes their decision based on primitive instincts. Such are religions who are against Same Sex Marriage. The doctrines of such religion has been established thousands of years ago, and fails to adapt to our current times. Hopefully though, things will change for the better, where acceptance and understanding might just be the key.
Hopefully i don't offend anyone with this, but this is something that goes through my mind normally, and is just my opinion.
If one doesn't agree with any part though, it's alright as i'm open to discussion and i'm always open to learning about new things.
Ciao.
