ABSTRACTHomosexuality is a non-ignorable group which always exists in the margins of society silently. Although in our world, here is just fewer of them, they really have a long historythe first record of it even dates back to the Spring and Autumn period. However，by reason that only heterosexuality could reproduce and give birth to babies, arguments among homosexuality never end up. Actually, we are in the twenty-first century, a new era now, but quite a few homosexuality still suffer from discrimination as well as unjust treatment. So should we teach people about the importance of equality, whether they are heterosexual or homosexual? Or just limit homosexuality, depriving of their rights? With the number of homosexuality is arising now, these questions should be solved urgently.Keywords: sexual orientation, tolerance, heterosexuality, right.The right of homosexuality should be protected Recently with Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook came out on Thursday, October thirtieth, more and more people are beginning to be aware of a group of people in our worldHomosexuality, whos lover is of same sex, is always existing in the margins of society silently. They are also called gay or lesbian. And at this era, Twenty-first Century, the love among same-sex people is more and more widespread. Actually almost three to four percent people are homosexuality on average. Although the number of them is dramatically increasing now，their situation is still not optimistic. According to the survey, there are nearly two hundred countries in our world, nonetheless, only twenty three of them legally recognize the same-sex marriage, and in Asia, its said that there is even none of such country. Besides, there are still laws on the books in a majority of states that allow employers to fire people based solely on their sexual orientation, and still many places where landlords can evict tenants for being gay, or where they can be barred from visiting sick partners and sharing in their legacies. In recent June 2013, the Russian government even passed by a legislation that ban gay propaganda which deeply hurt the homosexuality in Russia, even led many gay rights campaigners urging a boycott of the winter games. Thus it can be seen，that in most countries of our world, countless people, particularly kids, still face fear and abuse every day for their special sexual orientation. So what can we do for it? Should we teach people about the importance of equality whether they are heterosexual or homosexual? Or just limit homosexuality, depriving of their rights? At this moment when homosexuality become more manifest than before, this problem is badly needed to solve.Peoples views on homosexuality vary from person to person. As a matter of fact, a lot of people seem to think that homosexual is evil and even criminal, they points three aspects to vindicate their viewsthe religion, the body heath as well as the reproduction. And some reasons are just as follows.First, As far as religion is concerned, many religions especially the Christian, have expressly agreed terms that homosexuality shouldnt be admitted. In Bible, the sacred scripture of Christian, they certainly took up the point: In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion (Paul, BC1500). It may be true that there were people who believed in God, but it doesnt mean these religious classics are scientific and right. In fact, many innocent people were driven to death for some extreme religious creeds such as Galileo, a famous physicist who died for supporting the Heliocentric. So it is obvious that using religion to prevent the right of homosexuality is not available.Second, some of the opponents said homosexuality also threatens out our health. A kind of terrible disease, AIDS, makes people disgust homosexuality. Indeed, no one can deny the fact that almost ninety percent of people with AIDS are homosexuality. However，this is not the reason for us to discriminate against homosexuality, to abuse them, even to diddle them out of the right for marriage. In reality, the high rate of AIDS in homosexuals is due to their promiscuity. Nevertheless, if same-sex marriage is not allowed, it must be difficult for homosexuality to find their partners. And this loneliness may led homosexuality to finding comfort in the strangers. So its likely to be us who made them the largest AIDS group. Thats why I couldnt entirely agree with the opponents.Last but not least, it is a common belief that homosexuality will thwart humans reproduction. As is known to all, only heterosexuality could multiply as well as give birth to babies. But Id like to quote the word of Herbert Marcuse, the spiritual leader of student movement in the early Seventy century. He said “Homosexuality is a great refuse to the value and the order of fertility, and my sex is just for happiness rather than the fertility”. It occurred to people an original idea that life is not only for reproduction. There is nothing more essential than happiness and significanceFrom my opinion of view, its necessary and significant for us to support the right of homosexuality not only based on scientific research, but also on account of the morality. On the one hand, from scientific research, psychoanalysis guided by Sigmund Freud and behaviorism have separately come up with psychotherapy and behavior therapy for people who has a special sexual orientation to change back for a long time. The former uses a standard psychological analysis method for treatment. The latter one, adopts shock therapy and vomiting therapy to correct the sexual orientation forcibly. But its a great pity that all these have completely failed. But from what has been mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that restraining the right of homosexualitys existence is inadvisable. Obviously, if we want to do something to change peoples ideas about homosexuality, it is more essential for us to protect them rather than correct them forcibly.On the other hand, as for the morality, the American psychological association (APA) national conference in Chicago on August 14, 1997, has passed a resolution at the same time. The resolution, which called reverse treatment or repair treatment, emphasizes the four basic principles for the purpose of change sexual orientation, and points out that “homosexual are not mental illness, the board of psychology opposes any description to classify homosexual and bisexual men as a patient who has mental illness, or to think they are in need of treatment due to their sexual orientation any view.” What is said above tell us a material fact that homosexuality is normal. They should be equally entitled to all the rights of citizen. No matter considering from morality or law, we cant deprive of their rights. So taking all these factors into consideration, we reasonably come to say that the homosexuality must be innocent. There is no doubt that we should give back the rights which naturally due to them.4. Conclusion.It is universally acknowledged that homosexuality is no longer a mental illness now, so we do need to respect them equality. What we should consider is not only the danger they may bring to us but also th
