Homosexuality and the Catholic Church
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page acknowledgment that although homosexuality has been around since the dawn of time, the practice is viewed differently according to the societal context. While homosexuality is gradually becoming a more and more commonly accepted component of our society, the Catholic Church remains one of the staunchest opponents to homosexuality. Church doctrines are based upon Biblical scripture which condemns homosexuality. The homosexual, like the murderer or the adulterer, is accepted by the Church but the practice of homosexuality, which the Church views as not only aberrant but in direct conflict with Biblical directive, is banned. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Homosexuality and the Church: Catholic and Jewish Views on Homosexuality
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the contemporary views of the Catholic and Jewish religions on the topic of homosexuality. The author notes that while the mainstream components of these religious institutions have matured to the point where they accept homosexuality as a natural condition, the predominant view is that homosexual acts are an abomination in the eyes of God. Some factions of both Catholicism and Judaism have taken a more flexible opinion, however, and the continuing pressure of the issues is sure to result in a continuing trend toward greater receptivity. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Homosexuality and Young Adult Literature
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page personal essay discusses homosexuality and the fact that it should be presented in young adult literature along with any other issue that will have an impact on a young person’s life. The author points out that there are people who think of it as a the most heinous of sins “against nature” and others who believe it is of no more relevance than the color of one’s eyes. And, of course, there are others who are convinced that they “aren’t bothered” by gays and lesbians but don’t understand why “they can’t just keep to themselves.” Each of these attitudes are attitudes which have evolved as the result of personal experience and belief systems, most of which were established before a person reached adulthood. What an adolescent or teen reads serves as an important component in shaping his or her beliefs. To deny that homosexuality exists r to declare it as a perversion or sin only serves to negate the existence of an entire group of people. No sources listed.

Homosexuality on College Campuses

How Do Different Authors Deal With The Idea Of "Identity" Within The Gay Society In Pre-Stonewall America?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The history of gay and lesbian lifestyles has been fraught with a social defiance much like that which was present during the Salem witch hunts. Not only has this particular subpopulation been labeled 'perverts' and 'subversives,' but they have been forced to prove their collective right as members of society to pursue and uphold an identity no differently than their heterosexual counterparts. This identity came under a great deal of scrutiny during pre-stonewall America, a fact made quite evident by the way in which various authors of the time dealt with the concept.
