Love Is Blind by huxley(m): 3:29pm On May 30, 2008
It is usually said that love is the most important and basic of human emotions, and to use the cliche "love is blind" pretty much describes the overwhelming and indiscriminate nature of the drive for love. The drive for humans to express their love romantically and emotionally to other humans is a very strong and innate desire.

Given the foregoing, why is there some much opposition (amongst traditionalist) when someone finds romantic love with someone of the same gender? What is problems with such relationships when it is our basic desire for love that is being expressed and fulfilled in same-sex relationship as in heterogenous relationships?

Error. I knew you would come to this. After all your logic and rationality, you logically defend same-sex aberrations.

What if someone wants to share this love with a cobra? Is that rational?

The (irrational) lower animals do not make this kind of mistake. Even if they do, this is no reason to imitate them.

Thomas Aquinas said =>
"Human law is law only by virtue of its accordance with right reason; and thus it is manifest that it flows from the eternal law.
And in so far as it deviates from right reason it is called an unjust law; in such case it is no law at all, but rather a species of violence."

There is so much opposition, like you wrote, because same-sex relationship is unconventional , irrational and immoral to the general society.  Naturally males should attract females, but when this is not, you should expect public outcry and opposition.

The problem with same sex relationship is the stigma/bad name society attached to it;not that the relationship itself is bad.

i don't think Love is blind, we just refused to convince ourselves that a situation is really happening, we choose to ignore it and then say Love is blind. if a woman refuses to leave a cheating husband or a man who assaults and beats her then its not about love being blind. she must either be stupid or have good reason for not leaving. it ain't got nothing to do with love being blind.
