“I'm beautiful in my own way/ 'Cause God doesn't make mistakes/ I'm on the right track, darling/ I was born this way/ Don't hide in regrets/ Love yourself and you're okay/ I'm on the right track , darling/ I was born this way” Lady Gaga, the famous pop culture singer, author of the above lyrics, is a well-known supporter of gay rights. His lyrics and actions support the causes of the LGBT (which stands for lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender) community around the world. As one of the main topics of today's media scene, it is almost impossible to turn on the television without hearing about the latest issues regarding homosexuality, and there are those who are for or against same-sex relationships. Like Lady Gaga, there are many recognizable media figures – of different sexual orientations – who support homosexuality. From actors, to musicians, to US President Barack Obama and everywhere in between you can find both heterosexual and homosexual supporters of same-sex relationships. However there are many who oppose the idea of ​​gay relationships, but perhaps if scientific evidence was presented that provided the reasoning behind homosexuality, many minds could change. And that's what science is trying to do. With the support of scientific research and evidence, it is safe to come to the conclusion that homosexuality is the result of the genetic characteristics one is born with. The practice of homosexuality has existed for thousands of years and, whether people want to admit it or not, it is an important part of world history. Homosexual attitudes and behavior can be traced back to ancient Rome, for example, in the city of Pompeii, where it was not unusual to engage in homosexual acts. In fact, when the entire city was... middle of paper... was born with. Today gays are still heavily criticized for their way of life. And I find it hard to understand why anyone would voluntarily choose this for themselves. That being said, just as God created my DNA making me a heterosexual individual, He created the DNA of any homosexual individual. Works Cited Galas, Judith C. Gay Rights.
