If you support special rights above and beyond the human rights that all individuals are already afforded -all this, simply because certain individuals choose to engage in homosexual activity THEN you do support the homosexualization of society.
Nor am I a "leftist" for believing that all Americans are entitled to equal rights under the law.
Equal Rights???? People already have equal rights! How about setting aside the platitude and getting specific -what equal rights do homosexual individuals not get now? What is my position denying homosexuals that you feel they should get?
We are discussing individuals that feel they must or actually do choose to engage in homosexual activity (homosexuals) -do you imply that these individuals are not already afforded the same rights others realize?
Leftists support special "homosexual rights" above and beyond the human rights that all individuals already merit and are afforded simply because certain individuals choose to engage in homosexual activity -you are not advocating this are you?
Everything posted on this subject in support of homosexual rights is by default leftist propaganda regardless the equal rights under the law straw man and Constitutional hand waving...
I am well aware of your bigotry against non-Christians and non-heterosexuals.
Oh really. LOL I will stick with the issue you can continue to resort to leftist vitriol and perhaps expedite your own banning better than anyone else could do...
You and I have had this discussion in the past, DBeers, and you have tried to have me banned.
We will continue to have this "discussion" as long as you continue to advocate the homosexualization of society on topics I happen to read and post my opinion on...
I do not support homosexuality, nor do I condemn it. And I doubt the moderators will ban me because I don't embrace the condemnation of it, especially your hateful and bigoted advocation of illegal discrimination against gays.
As far as I know there is no FR policy against homosexuals or homosexuality. FR does not wish to give a platform to those advocating the homosexualization of society e.g. the equal yet homosexual rights you support. FR also does not condone personal attacks e.g. referring to me as "hateful and bigoted" simply because I oppose the leftist position you advocate here on FR...
On the topic of sexuality, I am neutral. In short, it's nobody's business.
But... but... what about this equal homosexual rights thing you support --[it] is nothing if not sexually based. Maybe you really mean equal privileges (which is something akin to socialism)?
Advocating special rights for those that choose certain sexual activities to engage in is a fatally flawed premise for rights e.g. two males who live together may not be able to adopt children UNLESS they engage in brokeback sex -- THEN they can as they are special because they have equal "homosexual rights"...
On the issue of gay marriage, I oppose it because the law defines "marriage" as a union between one man and one woman.
We agree on this albeit for different reasons -regardless our agreement, and regardless the contradiction of this position with the fallacy of equal "homosexual rights" the leftists would term our position on homosexual marriage as "hateful and bigoted"...
Regardless, I *am* a conservative, and a long-time supporting member of Free Republic. As a conservative, I believe in equal rights for all citizens, and the 14th Amendmendment of the Constitution of the United States backs me on this.
I do not know what you are nor do I pretend to know -- I simply address your position with regards to the homosexualuzation of society. My opposition is based upon only your postings I read that advocate for such things as "homosexual rights" under the guise of equal rights...
If you think homosexuals receive equal treatment under the law, then you are a seriosuly mistaken. They face discrimination all the time. The Texas sodomy law was a perfect example- anal and oral sex was legal for heterosexuals, but not for homosexuals. If an act is legal for one, it must be legal for all. This is the essence of equal rights. (although I don't consider sex a "right," but the point is that you cannot make something legal for one group of persons and illegal for others based on their sexual orientation.)
You keep using the term "special rights", which again for the Nth time I will state that I do not support in any way. I do not advocate any right for homosexuals that is not provided for all citizens. You repeatedly state that I support "homosexual rights" and you are in error on this.
I will say it for the last time.. I support EQUAL rights for ALL citizens.
