For years, people have argued about the types of rights LGBTQA+ people get. Some people are die hard supporters, and other people are seated to their beliefs that homosexuality is wrong and immoral. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and beliefs, so determining the future of these rights is difficult.

In some countries, being gay means losing your friends. In other countries, being gay means losing your life. Many LGBTQ teens around the globe have been bullied and have had their rights teared apart. Some countries will hold public executions for people who have participated in gay sex. Other countries might throw you in jail at the mere assumption that you are gay. People in the LGBTQ community go through a lot in their lives; being ridiculed, harassed, fired from work, kicked out of buildings, beaten, disowned by family, and sometimes even murdered. Let us remember that history is destined to repeat itself, and that LGBTQ people are not the only people in history to have gone through tough times. Should we consider LGBTQ rights as part genuine civil rights? Or should we continue to discriminate against those whose rights have been taken from them?

I believe being gay is innate, and not a choice. Studies have shown being gay is caused the same way people become left handed. In fact, lesbians are x2 more likely to be left handed than straight women. I can go on and on and on about the biology behind homosexuality, but that's not important. What is important is the love that two consenting adults share with each other. The reason LGBTQ people are so discriminated against is because of the lack of desire for change. People hate what they cannot understand. They don't know what it's actually like to be gay, and they mock those who are simply because of their differences. Even if being gay was a choice, what happens in the bedroom is none of your business.

There's those who want to ban gay marriages because of their own religious beliefs. Well, let me tell you something. Equal rights are not to be voted on. Allowing gay marriages doesn't make people conform against your beliefs. Allowing gay marriage vindicates the right of all faiths to freely exercise their religious practices. Many Native American tribes have allowed same-sex marriages. Their belief was that the man and woman exists within everyone, and same-sex marriages are no different than opposite-sex marriages. Love is love, and that's all there is to it.

Why is it more socially acceptable to be 16 and pregnant than it is to be gay? It seems as if people worry more about LGBT than they do about the real problems of the world. People are throwing millions and millions of dollars to taking away the rights of gay people, and they forget about the real issues. Problems like poverty, famine, disease, and violence are practically pushed aside while big organizations fight to protect "the sanctity of marriage". Why are people able to get married to a hooker, drunk, in Las Vegas by a guy dressed as Elvis and then get a divorce 4 hours later, but not be allowed to get married if they're gay? There's gay people with stronger, more loyal relationships than some of the marriages that are legal. According to the government, two straight people who hate each other have more of a right to get married than two gay people who love each other.

It wasn't until 2010 that gays were allowed to join the military in the USA. 2010... just imagine that. After 17 years of "Don't Ask Don't Tell", gays were not allowed to fight for their own country. They were not allowed to fight to save the liberty that you all take for granted. There was someone in the military who was gay, and admitted to being gay after he risked his life over seas to fight for our freedom. His confessional was video taped and played in front of a group of GOP members. They responded by "booing" him. What were they booing? Were they booing the fact that he lied to fight for his country? Or were the booing the mere fact that he was gay?

The state of Mississippi recently passed a law saying that owners of a business reserve the right to not serve people based on one's religious beliefs. This law was specifically directed against gay people, meaning it is now legal in that state to throw someone out of your business if they are gay. History is indeed destined to repeat itself. Americans have fought for the right for people to be allowed to walk into a store without fear of discrimination. Now, it seems as if some people with power feel as if discrimination should be allowed to take place, so long as it is for "religious freedom". But how far does religious freedom take us? Are we allowed to practice whatever we want in church and respect other people's differences? Or, are we allowed to infringe on the rights of others in order to justify our own beliefs? It seems as if the state of Mississippi has chosen the latter. Take a moment to reflect on how far your religious liberty can go, and think about the religious freedom of others and how you must co-exist with them. Humanity can never progress if we are all divided.

Love sees no gender. That is why I, Skaros123, want to same liberty and rights as everyone else. I'm not a second class citizen, and I do not want to be treated as such. I want to experience what it's like to not live in fear of rejection and humiliation. I look for the day when people will no longer have to come out of the closet, when being gay is socially accepted and everyone can learn to live in peace. I want to get married and find the husband to cares about me most deeply. Someone who will be there for me when I'm alone, to give me a hand when I'm down. Marriage isn't about sex and procreation, it is about love and forever commitment till death do us part. I am thankful to live in a place where same-sex marriage is legal, and rights are given to people who like the same-sex. I hope you will tolerate me, the way I was born, the same way I will tolerate your beliefs.

Love conquers hate. Support equality, and be proud to love.

If you are wanting to be homo then do what you do, but a private business should be able to uphold its values on its property.

That's a trickier topic, as I do think that it's best to allow people to run their businesses according to their values, but only to some extent. Would you be okay with a business refusing to serve people on the basis of their race? If not, then being okay with business owners refusing to serve people on the basis of sexuality would be pretty hypocritical. Maybe business owners should be allowed to refuse to create things that they think support a sexuality or race that they dislike, but I think allowing business owners to flat-out deny service to people on the basis of race or sexuality would cause far more harm than good.

No because homosexuality is a behavior, race isn't. A behavior could be immoral, or at the very least against someones values.

I would be ok with a private business refusing to serve someone based on race/religion/sex, because they are the ones who started, work for, and pay for that business. I see it as the same if I were to refuse someone entry into my house based on race/religion/sex. But at the same time, I support and agree with methods to closing the business by people of that location through such things as a boycott or protests.

I am not ok with public institutions doing this.

Homosexuality is not a behavior itself, it's a sexuality. Homosexuality is the biological and psychological state of being attracted to members of the same sex. Someone could be against the behavior of homosexual actions, but discriminating on the basis of homosexuality itself is pretty much on the same level of discriminating on the basis of race.

Well, we can definitely agree that public institutions shouldn't be allowed to do it.

I think that allowing private business owners to discriminate on any basis would end up being very harmful. Sure, business owner would have more freedom, but it would very likely lead to an extremely divided and discriminatory society.

Ok, but you wouldn't be able to tell if someone is attracted biologically and psychologically to men. When billy bob decides not to let adam and steve into his pizza shop, its because they are acting gay.

Its really not, because race is purely superficial. Anyone discriminating based on there morals is discriminating against a behavior, they are discriminating against people who act gay.

I agree with you for the most part, anyone discriminating based on there religion IMO is being rude and a bit of a ****, but they should have the right to do it.
