Sexual Orientation

Sexual orientation seems to only be an issue if it is homosexual, because it is not the common orientation.
1) Terms
        - Sexual orientation - Direction of a person’s sexual interest either other sex or some sex
        - Heterosexual orientation - Sexual interest in other sex involves attraction more in depth emotional attraction
        - Homosexual orientation - Sexual interest in same sex involves attraction more in depth emotional attraction
        - Erotic dimension -   erotic interests can me hetero-erotic or homoerotic
2) Roles
        - Barry Adam
            - Complexity
            - Talking about more than just sex when talking about attraction
            - Emotional possibility of attraction
            - Desire of strong connection
      - Classification issues
            - No uncontroversial classification of sexual orientation
            - Many people have been attracted to both sexes at one point in their life
            - Peoples interests change over time
            - Not as straight forward as it seems

I think that people that are homosexual or bisexual should be accepted for who they are. I do not think that just because people are attracted to the same sex, which is different from the norm, that they should be punished for that. They cannot help it that they are attracted to the same sex that is just how they were born and to treat a person differently because it is mean and I do not think that it should to tolerated. I think people that are homophobic, can choose to keep it to themselves, and honestly I think that if people did not make such a big deal about someone being homosexual that they would be easier accepted and people would be more open to accepting their differences.
