The thing with this argument here is that many of the countries that have laws against homosexuality and sodomy are rarely enforcing them, if at all. This is the case in most of the former British colonies in the Caribbean. The gay lobby is arguing that the fact that these laws are still on the books is encouraging some sort of “anti-gay climate”, but it doesn’t appear to me that people’s morals and culture in many countries are actually affected by their government’s laws.
To give you an example, there was a video circulating a couple years ago from Haiti where two gay Haitians from the states went to Haiti for their “honeymoon” after getting married. They were flaunting their homosexuality, and as a result they were doused in gasoline and burned alive. However, there are no laws against homosexuality or sodomy in Haiti, and there hasn’t been since it was a French colony. Can you argue that they would have received harsher treatment in one of the neighboring countries?
No, I’m talking about legalizing criminal acts to bring down the crime rate, which is what you were talking about. You want to pick and compare one crime against another, but it’s still a crime as long as it’s illegal.
Just so you guys know, I had no intention of getting into some sort of gay debate. I just took a look at this thread and saw some pro-Trump comments and I happened to have seen the tweet about his coming homosexual crusade so I thought I would throw that in and see what happens. There isn’t really much more to say about this topic, I don’t expect to change your minds and you won’t change mine either. I just think that countries should be free to decide their own laws without outside interference. Where sodomy is illegal it is illegal to sodomize women as well, so there is no inequality between gay and straight people in that regard. And why should homosexual relations be protected by law but polygamy is a crime? Sounds hypocritical to me, but politicians are all hypocrites so what do you expect?
So what is the imperative to legalize them? Once it’s legal the next step is putting gay marriage on the same level as a normal marriage and then indoctrinating the kids in schools. You think this is some kind of hysterical nonsense, but it’s real and see what kind of people are behind it:
The difference here is that being gay doesn’t impact anyone other than hurting their feelings, or grossing them out, and therefore should not be illegal. Murder, rape, and robbery all have negative impacts on people without their consent, and therefore should be illegal.
Such as? Curious as to what crimes are currently victimless. I can see a plausible argument for drug usage but, even there, potential victims can/do arise.
Not all victims are protected by law. A person who drugs themselves into mental illness has a family with no recourse to the law, and they are clearly victims in what has taken place.
We are talking about situations where there is no criminal prosecution, except in cases where the law is used in instances of sexual assault/molestation. If nobody I being prosecuted then which prosecution do you want to remove?
What about all those other victimless crimes that have overcrowded the US prison system?
It’s not the same situation everywhere at the moment. Did you even read what I linked? The man who was in charge of developing the Ontario sex ed curriculum (which was already seen as “pedophile grooming”) is in jail for child pornography and other related offences. But that’s OK, right?
Don’t be an idiot. I posted that to show that there is gay propaganda all over the place in Canada.
People are still allowed to make bad decisions. Maybe, the family is mentally hurt from this, but they could be hurt from many other decisions that were made that are considered legal.
