Civil Rights!?

Question

So has it been decided people fighting to work and not be killed in the only country because of their color is some how related to people wanting to have sex with the same sex. That is insulting to any intelligent mind. This is leeching on a legitemate human right issue to one of personal preference. I don't believe in violence against gays but I am against them coming after our Christian doctrine.

What are your thought on my opinion?

I'll rephrase the question. Gay right activists are comparing their cause to the causes of oppressed cultures in western countries.. I absolutely disagree of any comparing of sexual preference to trying to feed a family withouth worrying of being killed for being a certain culture.

I want to know those who agree with my opinion and as well as those who not.

Those using phrases such as buttholes, I can conclude your side of this subject.

Answer 1

As an African American, for gays to jump on the bandwagon as to compare themselves with our struggle is very insulting.

But we should always remember to display love to all people while obeying the word of God.

When you've done all you can Christians stand!!

Answer 2

I'm not so dense that I can't comprehend you point. SEXUAL PREFERENCE is NOT the same thing as RACE. I agree it only cheapens the civil rights issue to compare the two.

Now having said that; I think you should get over your prejudice against homosexuality. It's always been here, isn't going away and is really none of we straight people's concern.

I think there are more important things to worry about of a political, national and religious nature other than what two (or more) consenting adults do with their genitals.

Answer 3

Denying a group of people the basic inalienable right to marry isn't a legitimate civil rights issue? Even with civil unions we have to remember how "separate but equal" didn't exactly work. Allowing Christian parents to put their gay children through harmful and damaging anti-gay "therapy" (which, btw, often ends in suicide) isn't a human rights issue?

You can't dictate laws based on your religion in a secular nation with freedom for ALL religions.

Answer 4

ALL people should have to right to live their lives.

That includes being able to work at jobs for which they are qualified (which, not long ago was NOT the case for gays who were out of the closet), and being able to marry the person they love.

These are human rights issues, and civil rights issues (to the extent the law is written to prevent any group of adults from living their lives, or exercising their rights).

That's why.

Answer 5

Civil rights is a blanket statement, an all-encompassing term for rights of the individual.

It is a person's right to be treated as equals to everyone else. That includes all forms of life, liberty, and persuit of happiness. For some, happiness includes same sex marriages.

Answer 6

Who "decided people fighting to work and not be killed in the only country because of their color is some how related to people wanting to have sex with the same sex?"

That run-on sentence is insulting to any intelligent mind that speaks proper English.

The caption (original question) isn't a real question, either.

Answer 7

Your argument was used to excuse lynchings of blacks years ago. Christians used to claim that blacks were subhuman and had the mark of Cain, and that interacial dating was an abomination against God and Christian Doctrine.

Imagine if a large majority decided that your sexual preference of sleeping with the opposite sex was abhorent, and went against their belief that absolute abstinence was the only way to enlightenment.

You call Sexual behavior a preference, but my guess is that if your behavior was turned back at your preference, you would defend it in the same way that Gay's defend their preference.

Answer 8

the gays are coming after your christian docterine? you poor dears, get the wagons in a circle. You have every right to spread hate and opress anyone you choose for no reason what so ever, you talk nonsense though.
I think your opinion is homophobic, and if you saw how gay people were treated, talked about and even attacked you would realise they are probably more opressed than most cultural or economic minorities.

Answer 9

Any discrimination is a legitimate human rights issue.

Using arguments that subvert that reality is nothing more than a poor attempt at validating your personal prejudice.

Answer 10

Opinions are like buttholes - everyone has one and yours stinks.

I dont believe in violence either, but Im against your Christian dogma/doctrine becoming the laws of my land. In case you havent noticed, gays are not complaining that having sex is illegal - its not. They are complaining that you do not wish to grant them a right simply due to their sexual preference - for the same sex.
