Heterosexuality

I have been asking several people how they would define heterosexuality. There have been some expected and unexpected results. I have expected that people would not have thought about it before because it is deemed as normal and so most people simply overlook it. What I have not expected is that even after pondering upon what heterosexuality is they still cannot come up with a good definition. It's odd that most people consider themselves heterosexual yet they cannot define what that means. There is a strong tendency for people to say what heterosexuality is in saying how it differs from homosexuality. Again, the difficulty is knowing what heterosexuality is as opposed to what it isn't. Christians have gotten a lot of heat for their stance on homosexuality so the least we can do is defend our creed. If we say homosexuality is wrong yet we cannot define what homosexuality actually is then I think we Christians have a big problem.

People should really know the difference between homosexuality and heterosexuality. Since people define homosexuality in terms of its deviation from heterosexuality but they cannot define heterosexuality it is safe to say that people don't really know what homosexuality is. Thus they don't really know the difference between the two and so they don't know what may be morally good about the one and morally bad about the other.

This means that people don't know why homosexuality may be a deviation from God's intent of creation. When you don't know God's intentions you don't fully know God's heart which is what all Christians are pursuing. So for the sake of knowing God's heart better we should attempt to know why homosexuality is a deviation from God's intent in creation.

I do believe that when people truly understand what heterosexuality is then they will have a good foundational understanding of what it means to have unity within cultural diversity. This is because I believe all heterosexuals have an intuitive understanding of what it means to pursue cultural diversity by virtue of what it means to be heterosexual. Thus I believe that since most people are heterosexual most people have an intuitive understanding of what it means to pursue cultural diversity. I recognize that it's unintuitive to say that heterosexuals inherently have high intuition in understanding pursuit of cultural diversity. Nonetheless, I want to show that understanding the idea of pursuing cultural diversity is an inherent intuition for heterosexuals. The fact that I have to go to great lengths to show it would suggest that it is not an inherent intuition but I'm attempting to show that heterosexuals are overlooking the obvious with respect to their heterosexual desires.

In summary my motivation for defining heterosexuality is to be able to define homosexuality in order to have a definition of what we are saying is morally wrong, to understand why homosexuality is morally wrong, to understand God's heart and to reveal heterosexuality's inherent concept of pursuing cultural diversity.
