"Beautiful" sung by Christina is a song about how no matter who you choose to be, be comfortable with who you are. Not to let anyone discourage you to be yourself. Not to let anyone bring you down and make you feel less of a person then who you are.
Even if being yourself means being comfortable under 80kg of skin, braces for couple of years, or even liking the same sex.
We think this song is appropriate as the generation nowadays have low self esteem problems as they are constantly surrounded by judgmental people or peers. This leads to resentment of being themselves and trying to fit into other peoples ways and so never being able to be who they want to be.
Our group is not against homosexuality and neither do we fully support it. But we accept homosexuals for who they are as a person. Who could be your friend, your cousin or even a sibling. To avoid conflicts and to keep peace among family and friends in the world we all share.
We believe this is under the moral ethical value of UTILITARIANISM as one of its key factors is to make the world a better place, which means a better place for everyone to live in. A better place where everyone can feel comfortable to live their lives to produce better consequences even without having good intentions as people live in harmony. Utilitarianism also teaches to do something for the most benefit to all of humanity and not to satisfy a self-fish need.

Christina Aguilera "BEAUTIFUL"
Beautiful is a song written and produced by Linda Perry, recorded for American pop singer Christina Aguilera's second studio album, Stripped. It is a cello-driven, classically-flavored ballad in which its protagonist deals with hurtful statements made against her that cause her to feel insecure and have low self-esteem. She does not let other people's negativity get the best of her. It was released as the album's second single in late 2002 (see 2002 in music) and reached number one in several countries. The song earned her a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
The song's music video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund.
The video opens with Aguilera speaking the line "Don't look at me", followed by scenes of her singing alone in a room intercut with self image-related sequences of other people, several of which deal with body image.
An underweight girl examines herself in a mirror, eventually punching through it; a thin boy stands lifting weights in a room plastered with images of bodybuilders; and a girl rips out pages of women's magazines and throws them into a fire. In one sequence, a girl is assaulted by several peers, and in another, a goth sits at the back of a bus while several people get up and move. The video also touches on LGBT issues. One scene features two homosexual men, portrayed by Jordan Shannon and Justin Croft, French kissing on a bench and ignoring the stares of people who pass them. Another scene shows a transwoman, played by Robert Sherman, putting on makeup, a wig, and women's clothing.
The video received a Special Recognition award, presented by David LaChapelle, from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation at its 14th annual media awards.
After an a cappella performance of the song, Aguilera stated in her acceptance speech that "This song is definitely a universal message that everybody can relate to - anyone that's been discriminated against or unaccepted, unappreciated or disrespected just because of who you are."

Title: Beautiful lyrics
Spoken: Don't look at me
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, I saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do (no matter what we do)
No matter what they say (no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go (everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine (sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

Religious factors
Islam/Muslim
Islam does not accept any type of justification for the unnatural sin of homosexuality regardless of any biological or enviromental factors which may influence a man to indulge in this type of grossly unnatural immorality
Christian
•Religious conservatives feel that the Bible teaches that homosexual behaviour is always a serious sin. Allowing sexually active gays and lesbians to be ordained or to have their committed relationships recognized by the church would involve a drastic and unacceptable lowering of church standards. The church would be condoring sin.

The Cons of Homos
•Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.
•Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.
•Living in a society that treats homosexuality as a minority group that is despised, denigrated and rejected
•Homosexual relationships will spread more diseases.
•Also, If Gay people had it their way, and everyone was homosexual, the human race would literally die out.Two women can't have babies, and neither can two men.
•Will effect to the next generation.
•Infertile couples and old people can’t legally get married because the world needs more children.
•Children can never suceed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
•People aren't born homosexual. Plus, think of it this way: If God actually wanted people to be gay for each other, why'd he go through the trouble of making two different genders? Why not Adam and Steve, instead of Adam and Eve?

Introduction to Homosexual or Gay or Lesbos
Homosexuality can refer to both sexual behavior or attraction between people of the same sex.In many cultures, gay and lesbian people are frequently subject to prejudice and discrimination. Like many other minority groups that are the objects of prejudice, Gay men are seen as effeminate and fashionable, often identified with a lisp or a female-like tone. In this case, Homosexuals are often frowned in many cultures. Usually based on religious views or xx(i haven't get the right word) views. Some families find it hard to accept that their family members are homosexuals.
