We should all be so courageous as the man on the right. For me I can't believe this is still an argument, otherwise rational people still can't get over the simple concept of homosexuality. They demonize it in any way they can think of, and treat the people whose lives they disrupt as second class citizens whose feelings won't be hurt.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Perhaps that quote doesn't carry as much weight as it was written by man and not the "Holy Father" but as far as man's law is concerned in this country, it seems pretty cut and dry that that Homosexuals are allowed the same rights as the straight man, they being Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...
But we don't allow them those inalienable rights, and why? Something about hellfire and brimstone raining down on the Vegas of biblical times... Sodom and Gomorrah. Cities by the way, no one can find and prove, and I'll also point out that the same fate never befell Greece, Rome and San Francisco where butt sex is apparently just as popular if not more then the good old days in the bible.
I am an atheist so my tongue in cheek biblical arguments are a moot point, but I do think I have a basic understanding of what is right and wrong... and in a free and democratic society it shouldn't matter whom someone shares their lives with. We shouldn't try and change our neighbors behavior if it doesn't hurt us and just differs from our own. And if someone chooses not to be "saved" let the sheep wander... cause after all not all who wander are lost.
