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?

Dear Foxy,

«You stated to me on page 5:

"Sexuality is an affliction, a disturbance of the mind.
We may have to live with it and make allowances for it,
but it's not something to be proud of or jolly about."»

Yes I did, because this is the truth.

You seem to confuse between sexuality and "sexual orientation", so let me pull out some crayons and explain the difference:

Sexuality is about the craving to be involved in sex or similar sexual pursuits.
Sexual orientation refers to the selection­¹ of object(s) towards which one is sexually attracted and with which/whom s/he wants to have sex.

The mental and emotional affliction that I referred to relates to sexuality rather than to sexual orientation.

The gay movement is presumably only concerned with sexual orientations, but as they fuss about it they, intentionally or otherwise, are promoting sexuality itself, along with the pains that come with it.

Religious schools strive for the ideal of celibacy and attempt to lessen the impact and the resulting pain of sexuality over their pupils. Promoting sexuality, including but not limited to, by gay activists, is unhelpful and undermines the school's aims.

---
¹ This selection could be natural/genetic/biological and/or wilful, but whichever the case is, is not important for this discussion.

LGBTI people should behave in a more normal manner if they feel discriminated against.

Discrimination against alphabet soup people in not the issue. The issue being peddled is religious freedom. Religious freedom in Australia is set out in the Constitution. It includes freedom FROM religion or primacy of any religious cult.

I grew up with, discrimination and all that it stood for.
Big deal.
Today's pansy's are just that.
Instead of becoming a Nation of strong and positive, forward thinking people we have allowed the nannies and the neuters to take over.
We took our eye off the ball; or did we?
Despite the whinging and wining about EVERYTHING and ANYTHING, we are the most well off in the world, but in the wrong areas.
We have been contaminated by things like unions, to name one, which led to an increase in living costs and a little in living standards, but at a price.
The result of all this, is that the Aussie has become lazy and gained a sense of entitlement.
They have lost all perspective on life, which is a result of losing the ability to see reason and therefore a lack of common sense.
Some of the political decisions over the past do not stack up to these basic principals, and therefore were wrong.
We must remember that it only takes 50.0000000000000001% to make a majority.
This premise is one of the most stupid, ever conceived.
In any language it is half, so it means that a complete half of the population are living an acrimonious life.
Just because it made it easy to decide a winner, does not mean there is not a better way of managing the voting system for a better outcome.
Discrimination against the queers is a fairy tale contrived by the queers to gather support and sympathy for themselves, as the true sentiment of the population was one of disgust, disdain and derision, and is still so today, by those of us left with the natural ability of reason, common sense and have not been infected or swayed by emotions.
Discrimination, the word is just that, a word.
It has been adopted by the people who are social rejects.
They disagreed with public opinion, purely because of pride, so they set about to change this to one of their choosing, and design.
The fact is,we MUST BE ALLOWED TO DISCRIMINATE!
