Re: UN backs gay rights for first time ever
You make it sound as if homosexuals would be otherwise content if they were not afforded such a “right”…the fact is, it’s all about sex. An act. Subtract that, and then what is there to the Gay identity?
That there are a billion+ world wide who think the state DOES have the right to legislate sexual matters simply means that opposition to gay rights for these people, in the minds of those who support it, is a matter of opposing the right of Muslims to rule by Shariah, or any aspect of it. In other words, the rhetoric of rights can be thrown out the window at that point.
So, we can either understand that there will be no agreement on this issue, or the West can presume that gay rights is akin to racial rights, deem muslim opposition to it as a neo-apartheid, and go down that ideological slippery slope.
