Against the opinion of other readers, and public officials regarding religious groups, argue that legislation should be adopted to establish the same rights and obligations for homosexual couples as to heterosexual ones, for a variety of reasons which I discuss five, while refuting the arguments of those opposed to this legislation egalitarian
First: expressions like "God condemns homosexuality, "" Homosexuality is contrary to God's plan "and similar, are used as arguments by those I mentioned. Religious beliefs can not be taken as a basis to enact laws that affect society as a whole and not just a group of believers. Moreover, as pointed out by some groups including Catholics and evangelicals, the State need not identify with any religious group or against the State. If this occurs, we would be in a theocracy similar to our civilized criticize both Democrats, who regard the speck in the East outside but not the beam in the West itself. Paragraph
deserve who speak in the name of God. " Not content to know God's plans and maintain, it seems, a "hotline" with the Divine, pretend to be their exclusive terrestrial representatives. Is not it a lot?
The second: It says homosexuality is "abnormal" as opposed to heterosexuality is "normal." Those who reason thus confuse the that is common with what is normal. That certain situations are not the most common does not mean they are "abnormal." Simply are not as common. It is not often found in the barrio of La Boca fans of River, but there are not considered "abnormal", but simply fans of other colors. Valga futbolero example.
often argued that homosexuals (gay and lesbian) have many emotional and psychological, that psychoanalysts and therapists' offices are full of sex and are always in trouble. Answer: The same applies to heterosexuals, they also make therapy and also have problems of all kinds. Therefore, the origin of the disorder must be sought elsewhere.
Third: usually regarded homosexuality as contrary to a supposed natural order, which incurred a gross confusion between nature and culture. When speaking of "natural order", we speak of an abstraction without concrete existence. There is a daily reality in the natural order, but several cultural and social constructions. For millennia, and in different places, the homosexuality and heterosexuality without morals or religion condemned to it. Judaism did so, and its promotion through Christianity, the so-called "Western culture" tax Judeo-Christian morality, would have us believe that it is "natural" it really is "cultural."
The fourth: homosexuality is linked to a number of diseases. Some readers have mentioned excrescences and other genital and urinary issues hardly worth mentioning, in deference to good taste of the readers. Just remind them that the human body is a source of continuous emissions and discharges imposed on us to meet hygiene and cleanliness. Rules apply to homosexuals and heterosexuals. Just meet these standards to prevent the evils of concern to those readers, from NO evils of homosexuality but of neglect and lack of information.
Fifth, also speaks of a "gay lifestyle", characterized by promiscuity and debauchery and deviant criminal behavior. Answer: There are heterosexuals who also carry the "lifestyle." Some know them by proximity. To learn to more "heavy" enough newspapers and news visit, in which pedophilia, prostitution, abuse, harassment, rape, defilement and abuse are more common, committed by individuals very "normal" and "healthy." Sure, they're heterosexual. No one would dream of linking their sexual orientation with their crimes. How
authority arrogate then the right to determine what is "good", "normal", "how healthy", "natural"?
Everywhere you look at the issue, no rational argument for denying the absolute equality of rights that I mentioned earlier. No causal link between homosexuality and the evils which his critics saddled. Yes there are prejudices that demonstrate a lack of information and training, and irrational fear to encourage the bigots who think or feel different from the models' standards. " A society that extols a "family type" to disqualify families and other groups that divides citizens in "normal" and "abnormal" can hardly be called democratic, evil can protect children who need food, shelter, love and examples of conduct and good treatment. For these reasons, equality legislation is necessary and possible, and according to logic, reason and justice.
