Discrimination against LGBTI people : Comments

By Peter Bowden, published 15/10/2018

Is freedom to practice one's religion an overriding belief? Are people ever allowed to discriminate against others because of their religious beliefs?

All the strife, nastiness and violence comes from homos because they have Leftist orientation and are supported - pushed, in fact - by the Left. And it is true that it's political, not sexual.

Dear Ttbn,

I think that you have taken my words a step too far:

There are homosexuals and there are gays, and these are two distinct groups. It can happen that a person happens to be both, but overall homosexuals are not gay and gays are not homosexual.

Homosexuals do not produce strife, nastiness or violence: homosexuality is a benign sexual orientation while gayness is a disruptive political orientation.

Interesting subdivision Yuyutsu.

It parallels that of the religious, between those tending their own “relationship” with “god”, and the much more offensive sort who presume to force the details of theirs on others, thus giving the whole brand a bad name.

Yuyutsu,

Exactly my point.

Anybody who behaves badly or inappropriately -
be the person gay or straight - (male or female)
a school should
have the right to expel or sack. But why is it
the some people tend to only single out gay
students or teachers as having the ability to
behave badly or deviantly? Why is inappropriate
behaviour attached only to gays in some people's
minds?

Dear Rusty,

Thank you, this is a fair comparison.

I wouldn't use the word "subdivision" though, because in both cases we have two independent groups (even while an incidental intersection exists).

Dear Foxy,

«why is it the some people tend to only single out gay students or teachers as having the ability to behave badly or deviantly? Why is inappropriate behaviour attached only to gays in some people's minds?»

I don't think that there is any sane person who attaches inappropriate behaviour ONLY to gays.

That said, gays (NOT homosexuals!) are a rowdy and provocative lot, who make a lot of fuss around sexuality and believe that everyone should know and care about their sexual issues. In a religious setting where celibacy is the ideal and every effort is made to divert attention away from sexuality, such behaviour is inappropriate.

next thing we know it will be mandantory for all schools to do excursions to the Mardi Gras where every perversion thinkable and unthinklable is 'celebrated'. We already have pollies including a recent pm who sees it as some sort of cultural experience. Very sick.
