Letter: Bill reaction nonsense
To the editor:
The hysteria around the bill concerning rights not to provide services for homosexuals is nonsense. This has even invaded our sports page. A few thoughts and questions to consider:
-
Civil rights are not the same as homosexual rights. A person is born a particular color/race.
-
It is obvious from birth what the color/race a person is.
-
The most one can claim is that some are born with an attraction (later manifested) to the same sex.
-
Homosexuality is discerned by the actions of people.
-
If sexual identification is determined by DNA and so moral, then pedophiles, rapists and bestiality can claim they are moral.
-
Is a hot-tempered person excused for actions if born with that disposition?
-
Is it right to argue that the disposition a person has when born makes the future actions OK?
-
Should a homosexual in the business be required to print signs for the “protests” of Fred Phelps? No? Then why should those opposed to same-sex marriage be forced to service those weddings?
-
Is it truly hate speech or bigotry to disagree with the actions of some and not want to be involved in their activity?
-
Does our Creator have rights? Surely those are important to take into consideration.
