I was called to talk about this topic, as it has been made into one of the questions in my philosophy subject and it seems an interesting topic to discuss it. Heterosexual refers to a person who is sexually or romantically attracted to people of the opposite sex. It can also refer to sexual behavior between people of the opposite sex. Different from same-sex marriage, which is involving the same sex.
Modernism is a broad term that refers to a cultural, social, or political movement that arose from transformations in Western society during the late 19th and early 20th centuries⁴. Modernism also fostered a period of experimentation in the arts and affirmed the power of human beings to create and improve⁵.
There is no simple answer to whether modernism advocates heterosexual and same-sex marriage, as different modernist thinkers and artists may have different views on sexuality and marriage. However, some general trends can be observed.
According to one source¹, homosexuality was not seen as a distinct identity or orientation in ancient Greece, but rather as a possible expression of erotic desire for either sex. Most men who engaged in same-sex relationships were also married to women. However, the contemporary understanding of homosexuality divides the sexual domain into two categories: heterosexual and homosexual¹. This binary view of sexuality may be influenced by modernist notions of rationality, progress, and individualism.
Another source² states that same-sex marriage has been regulated through law, religion, and custom in most countries of the world, but the legal and social responses have ranged from celebration to criminalization. Some scholars have argued that same-sex marriage has historical precedents in various cultures and religions², while others have opposed it on moral or religious grounds.
A third source³ reports that public opinion on same-sex marriage has changed significantly over time in some countries, such as the United States. The factors that contribute to this change include generational differences, personal contact with gay people, religious affiliation, political ideology, education level, and media exposure³.
Therefore, it seems that modernism does not have a unified stance on heterosexual and same-sex marriage. Rather, it reflects diverse perspectives and experiences that may challenge or reinforce traditional views on sexuality and marriage.
