If so, to what extend should the international/compartive laws (of foreign countries) should be used in our courts, and what countries should we include/exclude?
If your answered no, please explain your point of view.

A few details:
The United States currently does not have any laws that would protect sexual orientation, Where such protection exists for racial discrimination.
Should human rights be universal? Should we adopt laws from countries that have a higher protection/anti-discriminatory laws for sexual orientation?
Citing of International/comparative law, though controversial, is not a new concept, as it has happened in Lawrence Vs. Texas, by Justice Sandra O'Connor.

No. In our country, government discrimination based on sexual orientation is unlawful. GLBT folks may be looking to foreign countries where the laws give them special preference.
The US is governed by US law only. To set a precedent otherwise would be to open the US to foreign laws on other matters too.

None We are The United states not the United nations. Our law is for our land ad our people, you don't like our law then move to a different country, to many of our brothers and sisters died her for our law not the British law not the Koran not the Israel law. And the EU is just another way of starting the hitler race once more undr a different name.. hide and watch.

Gay/Lesbians/Transexuals have no more or less right than any other US citizen. That being the case they should be included under our laws and should not be giving special rights because of real or simply perceived discrimination.
Good Luck!!!

No. When you're talking war issues, transportation routes and major atrocities (to name a few) then international laws should be reviewed.

Transexulas are people too. They should not be treated any different than anyone else. It is like being singled out because your color of skin, or what you believe in.
God loves us all, black,white,yellow,brown. He doesn't care and neither should anyone else.
