HOMOSEXUALITY - a cursed sin

GENETICS AND HOMOSEXUALITY
Homosexually is NOT something which is inherited genetically through DNA of homosexual's parents. Of course in 1993, the American geneticist, author, and filmmaker, Dean Hamer published a research saying that there is a genetic linkage with homosexuality. He presented that the Xq28 marker on the X chromosome is associated with male homosexuality. This research was wrong and it was claimed the person who proposed this (Dean Hamer) himself was a homosexual. So there's no scientific proof yet. That is an assumption.
In 1999, in the largest study of its kind to date, George Rice, George Ebers and colleagues at the University of Western Ontario failed to reproduce a statistically significant linkage to the Xq28 marker in a sample of 52 gay brother pairs. Another unpublished study led by Alan Sanders at the University of Chicago produced inconclusive results. Further evidence of a genetic link to homosexuality has not been produced.
See: Rice, G., C. Anderson; N. Risch; and G. Ebers. 1999. Male homosexuality: absence of linkage to microsatellite markers at Xq28. Science. 284: 665-67.
and also see: Wickelgren, I. 1999. Discovery of gay gene questioned Science. 284: 571.

DID ALMIGHTY CREATED THEM WITH “HOMOSEXUAL PSYCHOLOGY”?
Psychologically speaking if something is overdone or when boundaries are transgressed, he/she will start losing the pleasure. So what the Almighty permitted was the normal sexual way of life. (i-e having sex with one's spouse in their vaginal opening.) In most cases when someone is fed-up having sex with wife at the back and over do it, they want to enjoy more. So that thing what is normal does not suffice the one any longer so start doing unnatural things like homosexuality . So what about the unmarried people and children who did not satisfy their pleasure in that way, but yet attracted to their sex and considers themselves homosexual? And what about the people who were homosexuals before getting married? Most of them watch pornographic movies. They are affected by their environment, society, media, peer pressure and so on and so forth. Think about more than 24,000,000 porn sites in the world. Researches says that 24% of Internet searches directly related to porn. 68,000,000 daily searches of pornography. 72,000,000 people accessing porn every month. 28,000 viewers every second.

All these have the psychological impact on the them. As Albert Bandura states learning is both behavioral and cognitive process which takes place in social context. It has been experimentally proven that people learn by observing other (as you can see in Bobo-doll experiment) & we should take into account that the external reinforcers have a tremendous effect on cognitive state and thus learning. So homosexuality is something which they have learnt and not inherited.
It is quite interesting to note that in 1952, when the American Psychiatric Association published its first Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, homosexuality was included as a disorder, but later it was removed in 1973, perhaps to promote LGBT.

Homosexuality is “unbiological”
Some may ask, is it unnatural to penetrate through anal opening, I would say yes, it is unnatural. First of all “rear entrance” is not adapted for copulation. Think about how well vagina is adapted for copulation while anus and rectum is not. To list few: vagina contains elastic muscular canal with stratified squamous epithelium at its lining – beneath which is stratified squamous epithelium which contracts during child birth and sexual intercourse. Both Bartholin's gland and vaginal transudation helps in vaginal lubrication during sexual arousal which makes it easy for penetration and reduce the risk of some sexually transmitted diseases.

On other hand anal opening – which is the main source of pleasure for most homosexual males and some heterosexuals – has lots of health risks. Although rectal stimulation can cause sexual arousal due to sharing of nerves of vagina in females and prostate in males, rectum is a media rich in microorganisms which are not found elsewhere on the body. Moreover due to fragility of anus and rectum they are prone to physical damage.

Furthermore there are many health risks which are associated with homosexuality. It has been reported that HIV spreads faster amongst homosexuals than that of heterosexuals in the same population. Moreover there is high probability of spreading of HIV and other diseases through anal intercourse
Moreover it was reported that lymphadenopathy is more persistent amongst homosexual males than heterosexuals

I was wondering what happens to our society if everyone on the face of this earth becomes straight men and women. Would there be any social problems? In fact homosexuality was “evolved” during the time of Lot (pbuh) – and there were no harmful affect on their societies in any way by them being straight. But on the other hand if everyone on the face of the earth becomes homosexuals (with no bisexuals or heterosexuals) there would definitely be no procreation. When there's no bearing of offspring it would create all sorts of social, economical, political, psychological and medical problems. So I see a crystal clear affects of homosexuality on the society or us in many ways. If everyone on the face of this earth becoming homosexuals have a negative affect, even few becoming homosexuals have affects which might not be observable to blind eyes of some homosexuals, due to so called “small magnitude” of the affect.

Why does Islam forbid lesbianism and homosexuality?

The Muslim should not doubt, even for an instant, that what Allaah has prescribed is wise. He should know that there is great wisdom in what Allaah has commanded and what He has forbidden; it is the straight path and is the only way in which man can be safe and at peace, protecting his honour, his mind and his health, in accordance with the natural disposition (fitrah) with which Allaah has created man. 

Some heretics have tried to attack Islam and its rulings; they have denounced divorce and plural marriage and permitted alcohol. Those who look at the state of their societies will see the state of misery which those societies have reached. 
When they rejected divorce, murder took its place. When they rejected plural marriage, men started to take mistresses instead. When they allowed alcohol, all kinds of shameful and immoral actions became widespread. 
They (gays and lesbians) both go against the natural disposition (fitrah) which Allaah has created in mankind – and also in animals – whereby the male is inclined towards the female, and vice versa.
Whoever goes against that goes against the natural disposition of mankind, the fitrah. 
The spread of homosexuality has caused man diseases which neither the east nor the west can deny exist because of them. Even if the only result of this perversion was AIDS – which attacks the immune system in humans – that would be enough. 
It also causes the breakup of the family and leads people to give up their work and study because they are preoccupied with these perversions. 
Since the prohibition has come from his Lord, the Muslim should not wait until medicine proves that harm befalls the one who does that which Allaah has forbidden. Rather he must believe firmly that Allaah only prescribes that which is good for people, and these modern discoveries should only increase his certainty and confidence in the greatness of Allaah’s wisdom. 
Ibn al-Qayyim said: 
Both of them – fornication and homosexuality – involve immorality that goes against the wisdom of Allaah’s creation and commandment. For homosexuality involves innumerable evil and harms, and the one to whom it is done would be better off being killed than having this done to him, because after that he will become so evil and so corrupt that there can be no hope of his being reformed, and all good is lost for him, and he will no longer feel any shame before Allaah or before His creation. The semen of the one who did that to him will act as a poison on his body and soul. The scholars differed as to whether the one to whom it is done will ever enter Paradise. There are two opinions which I heard Shaykh al-Islam (may Allaah have mercy on him) narrate.” 
(al-Jawaab al-Kaafi, p. 115). 
2. Lesbianism means one woman doing to another something like that which a man does to a woman. Homosexuality means having intercourse with males in the back passage. This was the action of the accursed people of the Prophet of Allaah Loot (peace be upon him). In sharee’ah terminology it refers to inserting the tip of the penis into the anus of a male. 
What is mentioned concerning these actions in the Qur’aan and Sunnah: 
A – Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“And (remember) Loot (Lot), when he said to his people: ‘Do you commit the worst sin such as none preceding you has committed in the ‘Aalameen (mankind and jinn)?
Verily, you practise your lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond bounds (by committing great sins)’”
[al-A’raaf 7:80-81] 
B – “Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Loot (Lot), them We saved in the last hour of the night”
[al-Qamar 54:34 – interpretation of the meaning] 
C – “And (remember) Loot (Lot), when he said to his people: ‘Do you commit the worst sin such as none preceding you has committed in the ‘Aalameen (mankind and jinn)?”
[al-A’raaf 7:80 – interpretation of the meaning] 
And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“And (remember) Loot (Lot), when he said to his people: ‘You commit Al Faahishah (sodomy the worst sin) which none has preceded you in (committing) it in the ‘Aalameen (mankind and jinn)’”
[al-‘Ankaboot 29:28] 
D – “And (remember) Loot (Lot), We gave him Hukm (right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) and (religious) knowledge, and We saved him from the town (folk) who practised Al Khabaa’ith (evil, wicked and filthy deeds). Verily, they were a people given to evil, and were Faasiqoon (rebellious, disobedient to Allaah)”
[al-Anbiya’ 21:74 – interpretation of the meaning] 
E – “And (remember) Loot (Lot)! When he said to his people, ‘Do you commit Al Faahishah (evil, great sin, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, sodomy) while you see (one another doing evil without any screen)
Do you practise your lusts on men instead of women? Nay, but you are a people who behave senselessly.’
There was no other answer given by his people except that they said: ‘Drive out the family of Loot (Lot) from your city. Verily, these are men who want to be clean and pure!’
So We saved him and his family, except his wife. We destined her to be of those who remained behind.
And We rained down on them a rain (of stones). So evil was the rain of those who were warned”
[al-Naml 27:54-58 – interpretation of the meaning] 
These verses refer to the punishment that befell the people of Loot. With regard to the rulings on them: 
F – Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning]: 
“And the two persons (man and woman) among you who commit illegal sexual intercourse, hurt them both. And if they repent (promise Allaah that they will never repeat, i.e. commit illegal sexual intercourse and other similar sins) and do righteous good deeds, leave them alone. Surely, Allaah is Ever All-Forgiving (the One Who forgives and accepts repentance), (and He is) Most Merciful”
[al-Nisa’ 4:16] 
Ibn Katheer said: 
“The words of Allaah ‘And the two persons (man and woman) among you who commit illegal sexual intercourse, hurt them both’ mean, those who commit immoral actions, punish them both. Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him), Sa’eed ibn Jubayr and others said: By condemning them, shaming them and hitting them with shoes. This was the ruling until Allaah abrogated it and replaced it with whipping and stoning. ‘Ikrimah, ‘Ata, al-Hasan and ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Katheer said: This was revealed concerning a man and woman who commit fornication. Al-Saddi said, it was revealed concerning young people before they get married. Mujaahid said:  it was revealed concerning two men if they admit it bluntly; a hint is not sufficient  – as if he was referring to homosexuality. And Allaah knows best.” 
(Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 1/463). 
G – It was narrated that Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him): “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘There is nothing I fear for my ummah more than the deed of the people of Loot.’”
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1457; Ibn Maajah, 2563. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) in Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 1552). 
H – It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “… cursed is the one who has intercourse with an animal, cursed is the one who does the action of the people of Loot.”
(Narrated by Ahmad, 1878. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 5891). 
I – It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever you find doing the deed of the people of Loot, kill the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.”
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1456; Abu Dawood, 4462; Ibn Maajah, 2561. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 6589). 
And Allaah knows best.
