This is a question I’ve been wondering over for a long time, and I’m curious what kind of answers I’ll get here:
What are the reasons for feeling that GLBTQ people (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transsexual, Questioning) do not deserve the same rights/privileges/respect as their heterosexual counterparts? I’ve never understood why people feel this way, beyond “because the bible tells us its wrong.” Can anyone enlighten me?
A few notes on this thread:
1. To those who feel that GLBTQ people DO deserve the same rights/privileges/respect, thank you for your support, but I don’t need to hear reasons for that side. I already understand that opinion because I share it. Your opinions are welcome, however, if you have had some insight into the other side.
2. To those who feel GLBTQ people do NOT deserve the same rights/privileges/respect, as you have already seen, I disagree. However, I will try as hard as I can to respect your opinions here. Also, I am well aware of the religious arguments, so you don’t have to say them again.
