“Not a lot of people want to do it” or “I don’t want to do it.” This is not a justification for keeping something illegal. If anything, it is a reason laws against consensual adult relationships are wasteful and unnecessary. But we don’t deny minorities rights based on majority vote. Also, people would be surprised to know just how many people around them are in, or want to be in, or have been in, a relationship that is currently illegal or otherwise discriminated against.
There is no good reason to deny an adult, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race or religion, the right to share love, sex, residence, and marriage with any and all consenting adults without prosecution, bullying, or discrimination.

ignorance maybe increasing but people shouldn’t be ignored cause they’re different than the other.
ReplyDeleteKeith's posts bring to mind the famous words of the Gospel of Matthew.
ReplyDeleteMatthew 13:20-23:
"13:20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
13:21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
13:22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.
13:23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

Alas, there is very little good soil in the modern world. Keith, his allies and supporters sow on rocks, stones and among the thorns.
But we need to sow anyway, because doing nothing is letting evil win.
Sorry for the pessimism, I see people the way they are, and it's frustrating.
