Put sex orientation bill on November ballot, Jacksonville councilman says

[ronchamblin]

What is this thing about the LGBT population and the freedoms extended or withheld to them?  Of course, many individuals consider themselves to be gay or lesbian.  I wonder why some individuals do not approve of anyone who behaves as gays or lesbians do, such as two males being together, or two females being together.  And too, why do some oppose the idea of the marriage between two men, or two women? 

I presume that much of the opposition arrives from those who are religious, and who have found within the bible, references which might suggest that the practice or behavior or LGBT persons is a sin, or at least that it is not approved by the teachings of the bible.

Is it another case of control by individuals in the Christian camp, who apparently believe that they have the right to control anyone on earth who doesn’t behave as they wish them to?  I cannot figure out why a Christian would want to bother with the behavior of anyone outside of their family, or their church.  Why should they care about the behavior of the LGBT population?

After all, we are talking about friendship between two adults.  If the friendship happens to be between two adults of the same gender, what is the problem?  Apparently the number of individuals on earth who wish to have a relationship with someone of their own gender is established as being considerable, perhaps into the millions. 

It’s understandable that the relationships between two of the same gender do not produce offspring, but this outcome is good for the earth because most studies suggest that the ideal population should be reduced from the current 8 billion, down to perhaps 2.5 billion.  How can a reasonable person not realize that two same-gender people, living together will help hold down the exploding population on the earth?

So, what about this sex stuff?  It is widely known that for millions of years, all people “do” sex, either with their partner, or while alone.  Does anyone oppose one’s having sex with oneself?  Why does anyone oppose someone having sex with someone of the same gender?  Why should anyone care?  The point is that there will always be individuals on earth, who in current terms will be called gay or lesbian, and who will always desire that their partners be of the same sex as they are.  What kind of individual would attempt to control another’s behavior, or to decide if anyone can have a same-sex sex partner? 

Does most of the opposition come from the church leaders?  Are some of these church leaders envious of those who express their true desires regarding who they choose as partners?  Do some of these church leaders have secret desires to engage in LGBT behavior, and so their overt opposition to the freedom of others assists in their efforts to ignore these desires? 

After all, we are talking about the freedoms which should be enjoyed by all citizens.  Everyone should be free to have anyone as their partner, even if that person is of the same sex.  And just as a same-sex couple should have the freedom to live together, they should be able to legally contract to live together so that any benefits enjoyed by traditional marriages could extend to same-sex couples.  If anyone is to say otherwise, by what reasoning would they do so?

I’ve also thought about the idea of some individuals who’ve extended the object of sex into the animal realm.  Will the time come when those humans participating in this admittedly limited behavior will wish to enter into a marriage contract with the animal of their choice?  There have been human/animal sex cases involving sheep, horses, dogs,…….. perhaps cows and hogs.  Obviously birds, mice, and cats are too small.  And roaches, ants, and lizards are simply too bizarre. 

But, my question is why should anyone care about whether or not one’s partner is of the same, or the opposite sex, as long as everyone is happy?  To be happy and comfortable with one’s choice of a partner is very important.  And although wars have assisted in reducing the world’s population during some periods of history, we seem unable to have enough of them lately to do the job.  Therefore, having millions of same-sex couples living together will assist in this population reduction effort.

Why do you think they actually care? It's just an obvious way to galvanize that extra few percent who are religious nutbags to turn out and vote for candidates who otherwise have nothing in common with them. Just more religo-flim-flammery at work.

Good point.  I somehow thought there was some integrity and genuine purpose involved in this stuff.  So its sorta like ....  well.... politics I guess.  Then these people are sacrificing the freedoms for others, in order to accomplish their political objectives ...... to insure their place in the scheme of things.  Well damn them sumbitches to hell.

Yes, I would argue that there are some in the religious "industry" who only use social objectives to further their personal goals.  LGBT rights are not the only tool of the industry to promote from within. I have seen all kinds over the years, rock music is still seen by some kind of evil in the church, and there are those in the religion industry (even today) who use it to promote some roundup of collective thought.
