THE QUEST FOR THE BUILDING OF MULTICULTURAL SOCIETIES: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE SPREAD OF HOMOSEXUALITY AS A NEW SUBCULTURE

Abstract

This paper examines the global quest for the building of multicultural societies as the main driver for the spread of homosexual culture. The paper identifies the problem of the increasing interest that homosexual or gay culture is drawing all over the world. The homosexual movement is unrelenting in their quest to gain legal and even religious recognition all over the world with the attendant obstacles in the cultures that consider it highly unacceptable. The paper aims to show that the present loud struggle of the homosexual movement for greater recognition is only fueled by the world’s genuine quest for multicultural societies. A quest originally anchored on the protection of rights of minorities in different societies. From a positional perspective, the paper concludes that the homosexual culture have strongly keyed into the minorities rights movement and in so far as the world longs for the creation of multicultural societies, there will be no way to isolate the homosexual culture in asking for respect for cultural diversity, inclusiveness,  respect for difference, and integration. The world cannot be asking for recognition and protection for minority groups and at the same discriminating against groups that have identified themselves as part of the minorities relying on the principles of individual rights as promoted by the liberal democracy of the West.
