Keywords:
Homosexuality, Claims, Contradictions, Ethical ImplicationsAbstract
This article outlines the origin and development of homosexuality from the time of Sodom and
Gomorra to the 21st Century. It discusses the checkered history and experiences of the gay-lesbian
peoples in their quest for recognition and survival (Genesis 18 & 19; Bailey, 1995; Van Der Krogt,
June 16, 2016; Parler, 2017; Markowitz, 2019). The study highlights the claims of the LGBTQI+
Movement for full social, political and religious rights and recognition along with the right to express
same-sex orientation (Koranteng-Pipim, 2002; Power, 2011; LGBTQ, 2017, January 17). More
significantly, the social and ethical implications of the demands of the Movement are discussed and
analyzed from a biblical perspective.
