What are some myths about homosexuality and what are the truths behind those myths?
What will be an ideal response?
Suggested Response:
• Anyone who has engaged in homosexual activity is a homosexual. People can engage in sexual activity with a person of the same sex one time and never again. Some people have only engaged in homosexual acts during unusual and temporary circumstances.
• Homosexuals are pedophiles. Child molesters are pedophiles, not homosexuals. Data shows children are at greater risk from heterosexuals than from gays and lesbians. Pedophilia has nothing to do with being homosexual.
• Homosexuality is a choice. Some people still refer to sexual preference as if lesbians and gays prefer to love same-sex partners. But human sexuality is not a matter of preference.
• It is the parents' fault if a child grows up to be a homosexual. In addition to having no foundation in reality, this myth attempts to demonize parents of gay men and lesbians by relying on the myth that as a sexual perversion homosexuality was caused by someone or something traumatic.
