Why don’t you you just leave them alone?
I would be just fine leaving them alone. The problem is that they won't be left alone. They aren't satisfied with just being gay. They want to be in our faces and control our lives as well.
Dear
Coyote and
PredFan The problem is when the LGBT advocates go too far
and start implementing and imposing their beliefs THROUGH GOVT at the expense or penalty of others discriminated against by creed.
It's one thing to strike down bans against LGBT marriage and beliefs,
it's another thing to impose that through public institutions while DENYING equal inclusion and incorporation of Christian beliefs and practice.
When taken too far, it becomes discrimination flipped the other way.
As with affirmative action statutes that caused reverse discrimination when the intent was to correct carryover problems
with discrimination against minorities. When it goes too far, it creates the "equal and opposite" problem.
Two wrongs don't make that right!
The reason the LGBT are pushing so hard is to compensate for past abuses that
went too far discriminating against them. It's one thing to choose to accept or disagree with LGBT beliefs,
which isn't unlawful and can't be grounds for "reverse discrimination".
But what has happened in the past is taking anti-gay beliefs TOO FAR and either harassing,
abusing, discriminating against, or committing other unlawful actions that endanger that group of people.
The proper way to correct this abuse is how the Muslims have been doing, which is address EACH CASE of
wrongful abuse or discrimination. The Muslims do not "fight back" by pushing their ideology "as a protected class"
above and beyond the rights of others. They take each case and lawfully sue or petition to redress that injustice.
The LGBT have taken the strategy of pushing as a group to be recognized as a class.
And this has caused backlash, because the LGBT distinctions are faith based beliefs,
and people still have the right to believe in discriminating against BEHAVIOR.
We'd have to sort out how much is choice of BEHAVIOR and how much is choice of BELIEFS that cannot be
regulated by Govt.
So
Coyote this is why
PredFan and others like me argue back NOT to overstep Constitutional protections of people of
other beliefs and creeds by IMPOSING faith based LGBT beliefs through GOVERNMENT.
And
PredFan it's because of the LONG HISTORY of abuse, discrimination, even physical assaults and murder
committed against persons of LGBT orientation and identity that this BACKLASH has come up to turn the tables the other way.
Now the LGBT defenders are the ones action arguing as Christians used to do
as the 'equal and opposite" situation when Christians were predominantly preaching and praying
and their opponents were fighting to remove them from schools and public policy as discriminating against
people of other beliefs. The reverse is now happening where LGBT are pushing TOO FAR
and now committing the same discrimination against people of other beliefs.
This is some karmic spiritual process
where the resolution will be found in spiritual counseling and healing, to bring Equal Justice under Law and Peace,
After we AGREE to stop this MUTUAL infighting between different beliefs (both religious and political)
instead of lashing back and forth in a vicious cycle of retribution for the past.
