Your rights afford you the opportunity to condemn homoesuality.
They also afford you the opportunity to discriminate against homosexuals in commerce, in association, and in any manner which requires your consent.
They afford you the opportunity to deny them access to your personal and business property.
They afford you the opportunity to protest, or boycott homosexuality.
They also afford you the opportunity to join with others to do likewise.
What they do NOT afford you the opportunity to do, is prohibit or mandate the peaceful, private, sexual actions of consenting adults by force.
For that is a violation of THEIR rights.
This seems to be the problem in America today.
Activist homosexuals snivel about "inclusion" and "diversity" and therefore seek to subjugate the legitimate rights of free association, and property rights, in the name of false civil rights which are not rights at all. No one has a right to access the property of unwilling owners, or to force their unwanted association on others.
Likewise, no one has a right to mandate or prohibit the otherwise peaceful and private actions of consenting adults.
But rather than leave each other alone, left authoritarians, and right authoritarian wrestle for control of the big-government stick with which to beat their neighbors into submission, destroying legitimate rights in the process.
And so it goes.
Honest question OWK...do I and people like me have a right to secede from a society that condones homosexual behavior and form our own society?
