What are good topics concerning homosexaulity?

Question

For my English Compstion class, we have to write a 12 page final paper about a topic of our choice. It's too late to change topics, and I have chosen to discuss homosexuality. I've already read two memoirs written by gay people and a few other scholarly articles. My problem is that my topic is so broad. Do you have any ideas as to how I could narrow my topic? I wanted to discuss the causes of homosexuality, but my teacher thought that it would be inappropiate. What do you think?

Answer 1

it depends on how much deep you go on the subjects if its going to be innapropiate. i mean some homosexual people dont really have a cause but others do..like if they were abused when they were infants.

you can talk about the adoption of a child in a married couple that is really a struggle.
maybe talk about the reaction of their families when they tell them the truth
another topic could be the homofobic people in the sociery and how they degrade them,

i hope this work for you, good luck
ps: dont forget to choose me as best answer...lol

Answer 2

This might be a little extra work, but a less controversial (and opinion-filled) topic could be the history of homosexuality. Many people mistakenly believe that homosexuality is something "new," when same-sex sexual attraction has actually been documented for hundreds of years. With less work, you could also discuss the gay rights/PRIDE movement in the United States.

Of course, another interesting topic could be all of the psychology studies being conducted on the gay and lesbian couples raising children (you might be surprised by the results).

Answer 3

Well i was gonna say talk about the controversial issues of how homosexuality "happens". There is no proven theory or cause for homosexuality, but there is certainly a lot of information about different theories for the cause. I wouldn't say the topic is inappropriate if you respect both sides of an arguement, but then again, i wouldnt go against what your teacher says. Another idea might be the gay marriage, but that is a very common topic, but there is a lot of info on that too. Another idea could be maybe talk about the stereotypes that people have of gay people. Just ideas, just throwing some out there.

Answer 4

People are born being a homosexual.That's the cause. i don't see anything controversial.

You might want to argue the importance of Gay marriage.Everyone deserves to be happy and legally married. Gay people should have all the legal benefits of marriage.

Answer 5

I think it would be interesting to find out the discrimination and the similarities and differences to African American discrimination before the Civil Rights Act
