Where does the human right to have straight sex come from?


How does humanity reproduce?
Thats a weak argument. Extension of a species is not a requirement for a right to be a right.


So if humanity ceases to reproduce, then there is no real reason for human rights.

Got it.


Liberty is also a human right, is it not?


Liberty does not extend to license.
Sure it does - at least up until the point that you're infringing someone else's rights. I'm sure there are exceptions, but they're exceptions.And how are two gay people infringing your rights?

Not if there are no humans.
So you think homosexuality is an existential threat? That's pretty wild.

But even if it did, it STILL doesn't negate personal freedom.


This is weapons grade insane.

Strange and torturous way to actually agree with me.

For humans to exist there is a categorical imperative for heterosexuality.

The whole discussion originates from here.

Support for Human Rights <> support for LGBTQ mafia

This is a policy every conservative would support even if though our liberal friends will tell you otherwise

LGBTQ does not advocate for human rights, they advocate for totalitarianism and to shut up opposing viewpoints


When the hell did the right to have gay sex become a Human Right?
Can you pick a side?

The right to life is a human right. The right to not be murdered for what you believe is a human right. Sounds like Cruz is supporting that.



That's preposterous, some people believe it's okay to rape women and have sex with children.


Even you should be better than equating consensual sexual interactions between same sex adults to rape and pedophilia.

It's a really low bar and you should try harder.


That's not the point, he said "the right not to be murdered for what you believe is a human right".

We are inventing human rights out of thing air


Does murder violate someone's right to life, liberty, or property?

Does consensual gay sex violate someone's right life, liberty, or property?

This is about a 9/10 level troll.

The death penalty is on the table for pedophilia, and gay sex acts with people with disabilities or involving HIV positive people. It sounds like some of you think they're rounding up the gays and shooting them in the back of the head.

LGBTQ isn't my lifestyle, but I don't want to see them mistreated either. Everybody should be treated with basic respect and dignity, regardless of political affiliation, lifestyle choice, etc. It's what we called "manners" when I was growing up. It's ok to call out evil people and unjust laws. In fact, it's a moral obligation to call them out. Good Ted.

And this is coming from somebody who is madder than hell at the grooming of children, biological males competing against women in sports, Bud Light, Target, and you name it.

If it's in the privacy of their homes how do we know about it? And the statement was in response to the poster who said "even if it's an existential threat it still shouldn't be curtailed because liberty "

Why does it need to be illegal and punishable by death if you won't know about it and it has zero impact on anyone besides those two individuals?

The right to life, liberty and property are not absolute; there are many laws which deprive people of life, liberty and property depending on the crime. Murder is a loaded term; there are capital punishments for heinous crimes in this country, and in many other countries throughout the world.

There has been no right to gay sex through the vast vast majority of our time as a country; it is not an American value. The people who wrote our constitution punished it just as harshly as Uganda, as being toxic to the societal welfare. As I've mentioned countless times on this thread, one only needs to look at the trajectory our country has taken since we decriminalized gay sex only 20 years ago. We are a shadow of our formal selves and trending worse.

Doesn't have to be punishable by death. The best laws are the ones that don't need to be enforced. Keeping it illegal keeps it away from public consumption, keeps it out of mainstreet. That's the goal.

Alt-right Papists

More Protestants in Uganda than Catholics. Still mad?


That so?

Quote:

The Roman Catholic Church had the largest number of adherents (39.3 percent, down from 41.6 in 2002), followed by the Anglican Church of Uganda (32 percent, down from 35.9 percent). The category of Evangelical/Pentecostal/Born-Again showed the most growth, rising from 4.7% in 2002 to 11.1% in 2018. Adventist and other Protestant churches claimed most of the remaining Christians, although there was also a small Eastern Orthodox community. The next most reported religion of Uganda was Islam, with Muslims representing 13.7 percent of the population, up from 12.1% in 2002.


So you're trying to pin this on Protestants, despite being completely wrong about the Ugandan religious majority, instead of focusing on who we're actually focusing on in this thread.

I hope as a Doctor you're a little more thorough in your research and less biased in your diagnoses.
Roman Catholic = 39.3%
Anglican + Pentecostal = 32 + 11.1 = 43.1 %

43.1 > 39.3, so therefore there are more Protestants than Catholics in Uganda.

Catholic and physician bash denied.

What the founders wanted doesn't really matter in this instance. Life, liberty, and property rights are generally only limited when it comes to impacting another individuals rights. Gay sex doesn't violate anyone's rights and therefore is perfectly in line with being supported by free people.

Again, well done with your trolling. Top notch.
