“No one should be attacked, imprisoned, or killed simply because of who they are, or who they love,”
What about for what they do? I don’t think that Uganda is punishing anyone for thoughts. They are not that advanced of a democracy yet.
I’ll support reducing foreign aid. Trump was evangelizing liberalization towards gays in parts of the world that still put them to death. Opposing genocide is the human thing to do. In America we believe in freedom of adults to make their choices with each other, not in government determination of who lives and who dies based on consensual behavior between individuals. I lean libertarian conservative but I’m very much a war on drugs supporter having seen drug addiction ruin and even take lives. I’m exhausted by the second hand exposure to weed just by breathing in the Atlanta metro area. It’s almost impossible to step outside without smelling it. It’s illegal in Georgia but I see no evidence Georgia cares about enforcement. Culturally if someone asks if you smoke here they are talking about weed rather than tobacco. Like with any smoking, I have no interest in another’s behavior putting my health at risk. The Left is wrong to decriminalize knowingly and deceptively infecting another with HIV. That’s not a “civil right,” it’s a sexual assault. It’s a case where activists have confused “feelings of stigmatization” with “rights” and have destroyed good public policy and endangered others.
Every child under the son is groomed to be this or that by their parents and in their culture. For centuries in the West it was exclusively to grow up and marry the opposite sex and have children you could afford to care for.
I’m curious to know if we can see signs of transgenderism in the animal kingdom like we do see homosexuality. Homosexuality in animals seems to be a variant to reduce competition for mates while increasing numbers for survival. I’ve often wondered if it’s a biological way to genetically dead end a lineage. But they are still people and must be treated as such.
As medicine becomes better we should be seeing more outcomes and variants that fall outside the natural heteronormative bias that ensures future generations.
We’re overpopulating as a result of scientific advances in medicine, social and environmental stability. Food and shelter are plentiful even compared to 100 years ago.
