Re: Do philosophical theories
I have not been arguing for the criminalising or banning of this … that is a state/law matter … But I can’t be blamed for voicing disdain or repulse to it … It is like asking someone to enjoy the smell of a toilet or something else that is dirty to most of us … some people like that sort of stuff … why should we remain quiet when all we want to say is “sodomy is disgusting”? Then someone comes along and says that is your opinion and tries to insinuate that our dislike for it is an argument to persecute people. If I see a person eat his snot/bogies I will not try to kill him - I will just get repulsed and advise him to be better than that. Same applies here …
… It is actually through the overt legalisation of homosexuality and the public mindset moulding that it is “fine” that the rest i.e. the majority of straight people are being forced to step around egg shells that this issue is coming to the fore and then we get blamed for being homophobic … I would like to stress again there is one who I love the most more than anyone and he is a man (SAW) so that hate argument is flawed as Muslims are proof that same gender love exists - it is just pure from filth and takes a different form from the one engendered in a relationship of marriage … it is specifically a dissent against the act itself …
For what reason are we called progressive if we can subdue our natural dislike for something and tell everyone it is okay if others are doing it? I would not want for others what I do not want for myself … Yes if they want to be treated fairly like any other human, given jobs like anyone else then yes I will treat them fairly … based on their merit of their fulfilment of the job description alone … I would not hire on quota and fix numbers - I would purely look at merit. I have been learning about early Christianity lately and a scholar from Yale … Dale Martin I think is a very knowledgeable and well constructed. He is openly gay … I don’t hold that against him when listening to his talks … however, interestingly I think there is a connection between his being gay and his area of interests … which revolve around slavery and sex … this is his page.
