TOPIC: Gay Rights
Acceptance is a must not a virtue: an approach to the moral dilemma of gay rights, by R
...
Understand that your morality is not law
...
Understand that if we decide to have sex whether safe, safer
or unsafe, it is our decision and you have no rights in our love making
...
Acknowledge the freedom to everyone
...
Again, bearing in mind it is all stating conceptions rather than the actual
actions taken
...

Shall we not discuss feelings nor sentiments but agree to be responsible of an ethical perspective
to our rights as humans
...

Shall we agree that is not virtue to speak of equality yet allow it to be all pretend, concretely acting
the opposite, utterly erasing any coherence in what the mind implies as ethically correct in parallel
to what the body seems to be acting upon
...

Shall we agree to be individual in our outmost virtue that is ability of thought, perception,
conception and logic yet remain human at heart, allow ourselves to speak of unity in a community
by acting as a group that seeks justice, applies citizenship as our right to express our thought but
more importantly speak our mind, inspire to be ourselves, undeniably remember that it is not your

gender preference that defines your level of authority nor does it create a basis or normality versus
abnormality and oppression
...

In fact, the dictionary defines liberalism as a political orientation, a state of being, a
behavior advocating freedom of the individual in favor of social progress by reform rather than by
revolution
...
Gay people happen to abide by a
different lifestyle, one they should be awarded without a doubt simply because it is not one that
endangers the rest of the community
...
We are to embrace the science we proudly
consider our powerful weapon to what nature might throw on us, hence we are obliged to mindfully
remember that homosexuality is not a disease; it is innate and a question of hormonal discipline
...

The provided framework of understanding homosexuality as indeed a “natural matter”
implies a more theoretical approach regarding whether it even matters for it to be natural?
Is it sin not to act upon what culture has haphazardly decided to be proper? Is it even crime for our
gender preference not to match what is common? Furthermore, is it you to judge or even care
what he/she considers as more attractive? Or is it our judge to neglect a forced narrow-minded
attitude towards the broad subject of gender identity
...
(Dan Littauer in Lebanon: Being Gay Is Not A Crime, Nor Against Nature) It is not a
simplistic application of what our legal papers state as one’s gender that automatically imposes the
gender of our partner
...
Peace of mind is a right that in this scenario requires proof to earn it seems, right to
declare love for homosexuals inquires bravery and is packaged with the heavy pressure of society
which signifies lack of critical thinking
...
Just as
they seek to help the poor, erase hunger, establish peace and punish violence,
homosexuals’ persecutions are an equally dangerous matter that reflects lack of decent
behavior and social citizenship
...
To look down on the different

is not only disrespectful but inhuman; abuse is not merely physical or a question of aggression but
the surpassing of another individual’s right to act, reveal or hide his sexual orientation; in other
words, it is a matter of going beyond our legitimate boundary to question one’s value and define
his potential based on the gender of his partner
...

Taboo in our society is a juxtaposition of inadequate ideas we hear in the streets or at the
neighbor’s, it is not the reflection of logic nor common sense
...
It is remaining stuck in an era of darkness and shallow thinking
...
Taboo is disrespect and haphazardly thrown opinions,
projected to the following generations; it is to risk the emergence of great minds because of sexual
orientations
...
Taboo is to pursue crime of
homosexuality and imply liberalism for real crime is to jeopardize freedom
