Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Issues - Response to the Far Right Concerning
A Response to the faraway Right Concerning Gay Marriage   Mr. Far Right has claimed that neither the authorship nor the Bill of Rights mentions the right of homosexual couples to marry. I think that it would be steady-going to say that a homosexual couple who wishes to marry is seeking their experience definition of happiness. Did Mr. Far Right conveniently skip over the situation slightly life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that is the very spirit of both these documents?   compassionateity ar greater gainers by suffering each other to consist as seems good to themselves than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest --On Liberty, John Stuart Mill   Next, Mr. Far Right states that oddity is an abomination to the Lord. Ah, I see. Now he is making moral judgements about homosexuality based upon a theology that not every(prenominal)one agrees with. Is this a hush-hush game, or can anyone play? To illustrate my next point, allow me to riv al a story I one read, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula Le Guin.   Behold the fair metropolis of Omelas. In this shining urban center the people are happy. And why shouldnt they be? The children are beautiful, the food plenty, and disgust is nonexistent. Nothing is unhappy in Omelas, well, almost. Locked in the small earthen wine cellar of one of the largest houses in the city is a small child. This child is the lineage of all the splendor of the city. It is the sacrifice of this childs tortured existence by the city that makes its happiness and beauty possible.   This boy is not a secret, however. In fact, every citizen of the city has to view and acknowledge the child for the city to retain is perfect state. Most people view the boy and, after a brief pang of ... ... environments. It seems to me that there isnt a single good argument in Mr. Far Right entire article against gay marriage.   Mr. Far Rights statements bring painfully to light the ki nd of ignorance that is rampant in our society. To excerpt Albert Einstein Only two things are infinite the universe and human stupidity, and I am not sure about the former.   Although a public opinion concerning gay marriage would have no affect on me directly, it deep concerns me as to the kind of society that might be a yield of a negative ruling. Once the rights of one group of people are restricted, whats to stop the restriction of another groups rights?   Whatever crushes individualism is despotism, by whatever name it may be called and whether it professes to be enforcing the go forth of God or the injunctions of men. --On Liberty, John Stuart Mill
