Homosexuals do not deserve special rights. Homosexuality is an anomaly and it should not be given a status of "normal".

Most people on the planet are not chrisTian.

Why should we give THEM "special" rights and declare them "normal?"

6. Anyone who believes that shit should be denied some basic rights
so they can find out first hand what it's like.

Their Christianity really is a choice and they really are the recipients of special rights. Let's turn this around and put them in our place. :grr:

7. I wonder if it would be un-Christian of me to wish that the End Times
for RaptureReadyGirl82 come early.

Not that it matters, I'm agnostic.

9. Here is what a famous person said about equal rights in 1936, specifically women's rights
Edited on Sun Jan-18-09 10:51 PM by IndianaGreen
which in 2009, it is still true when it comes to LGBT rights.

From the standpoint of democratism bourgeois constitutions may be divided into two groups. One group of constitutions openly denies, or actually nullifies, the equality of rights of citizens and democratic liberties. The other group of constitutions readily accepts, and even advertises, democratic principles, but at the same time it makes reservations and provides for restrictions which utterly mutilate these democratic rights and liberties. They speak of equal suffrage for all citizens, but at the same time limit it by residential, educational, and even property qualifications. They speak of equal rights for citizens, but at the same time they make the reservation that this does not apply to women, or applies to them only in part. And so on and so forth.


:-)

As to those that advocate putting LGBT rights on the back burner, such as repeal of DADT, a parallel can be drawn to the women's struggle for equality. I now quote Lenin:

In 1907, in his report on the International Congress in Stuttgart Lenin noted with satisfaction that the Congress condemned the opportunist practices of the Austrian Social-Democrats who, while conducting a campaign for electoral rights for men, put off the struggle for electoral rights for women to "a later date".

The Soviet government established full equality of rights for men and women.

"We in Russia no longer have the base, mean and infamous denial of rights to women or inequality of the sexes, that disgusting survival of feudalism and medievalism which is being renovated by the avaricious bourgeoisie ... in every other country in the world without exception."
