Yes, poison should not be released into society. Equating the promotion of homosexual 'rights' on the same plane as demonstrating for "unpopular and controversial" political rights is playing the game of moral equivalence. They aren't the same. Sin should be opposed, not celebrated.

So not ony homosexual acts themselves need to be prohibited by the government, but also advocacy for gay political rights or social acceptance for gays?

What other messages or ideas need to be censored in society? And who decides which messages are sufficiently poisonous to call for banning?

This is a bit of a leap past disapproval. I don't think anyone is advocating outlawing homosexuality.

What about the rights of people who find homosexual behavior repugnant and a sin? Why must their faces be rubbed in something that they abhor? What about their "social rights?" Would you have the government force them to attend homosexual pride parades and include a certain number of homosexual people among their friends? Would you force heterosexuals to "like" them? How would these new laws be enforced? How many enemies do you really want to make for the otherwise fine people who happen to be homosexual?

Homosexual activists are asking for legislated friendliness toward homosexuals. Now that's what I would call a violation of rights.

Oh sorry. Plain old, non-hyphenated Americans have no rights these days.

Why that would be an excellent idea. Along with advocacy for bestiality, murder, pedophilia (primarily a homosexual disease), and other abominations.

God's Word. Don't pretend that we live in a vacuum. The old landmarks have been established and there is life in those that live in them, and destruction and misery in those that walk contrary.

Proverbs 22:28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
