In this research‚ I will discuss the claim that homosexuality is unnatural and the arguments we often hear from the moral traditionalists used to support the claim. I remember an article about John Corvino‚ from the Internet; he easily and deftly deals with the arguments about homosexuality. However his arguments have the potential to open up a can of worms with regards to incest and bestiality.

Reality will never be the same for two different people. Jean Baudrillard believed that there is a problem with contemporary reality‚ he believed that the distinction between what is real and what is imagined is continually blurred and eroded.
