If being a single child subjected you to scorn and discrimination, then it would be worthwhile focusing on discrimination against single children. But the fact is that people are discriminated against becasue they are gay, they are not discriminated against becasue they are single children. Your post proves the point. There are LAWS against homosexual activity. these are unjust. If there were laws against people without siblings having sex, those laws would be equally unjust. If such laws were passed, then people without siblings would have every right to organize against those laws and be resentful of the organized groups that labored to put and keep those laws in place. In employent discrinimation against gays is well documented, take for instance Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores. Its his prick, and he has the right to put it where ever he wants to as long as where he wants to does not object and is capable of objecting if it so pleases. This is particulalrly true if he has not made a vow before god to stay true to one individual for the rest of his life. More to the point is why should people consider such activity offensive and do they have a right to feel that way. Whites in the south used to think that sitting on a bus next to a negro was offensive, did they have a right to feel that way. Did that right trump the right of the black to sit where he wanted to on the bus? People used to think that it was offensive for a black and a white to get married, any even thought it was immoral. Did there feelings trump the love between a black man and a white woman? In 1950 Georgia they did. Was it right, NO. Why should your feeling that it is offensive and immoral for two men who love eachother to get married, trump their love for one another? What difference should it make if everyone in your town agrees with you Why should that trump their love? And if they want to love and raise a child, why shouldn't they be allowed to adopt. i will grant you that it is better for a child, in an ideal situation, to have both a mother and a father. But if that is the objection, then we should outlaw single motherhood. Being brought up in a loving home of two men sure beats being brought up in the "system". |
