Discrimination of homosexuals- the hypocrisy issues
Gays Deserve Legal Protection (Thursday, March 15, 2001-Southfield Eccentric)Believe it or not, it is perfectly legal to discriminate against another person based on their real or perceived sexual orientation.
I find this homosexual anti-discrimination discourse so tiresome because of its blatant hypocrisy. It is clear to me that 99% of the people ranting about discrimination against homosexuals are very strong supporters of discrimination based on nationality. If you cannot discriminate because of a person´s sexual orientation (even if it is dysfunctional), it follows that you cannot discriminate because a person has a different nationality.
Obviously those who rant against being able to discriminate based on sexual orientation don´t oppose nationality discrimination.
So, if somebody from Mexico (or Vietnam, or France, or Mongolia) wanted to get a job in the US, and they were qualified and honest people, they should. Immediately. Otherwise, it is discrimination, pure and simple, treating them as second-class citizens. Not even that, such is the discrimination, because they aren´t even treated as citizens, not even second or third class ones.
Homosexuals and bisexuals have a choice into many things regarding their thinking and behavior, people do not choose what country they were born in, so nationality discrimination is based on greed. You may camouflage it with different reasons, but the true reason is simple and ugly.
Another problem I see with the homosexual anti-discrimination discourse is the fundamental concept on which it is based which is sexual orientation. I find this concept is problematic, but more on that later. The main issue is: a homosexual person who behaves in a homosexual way towards others (ways that can include violence and harassment) is much more than just a "sexual orientation".
You have a right to discriminate based on sexual ideology and behavior. So, I believe it is a fundamental human right to choose and determine what sexual behaviors other people have a right to impose on you, which is nill. You have a right to determine always. Therefore you have a right to total discrimination to any and all sexual behaviors from others, if you so choose. The right to be free from supersedes the right from anyone to do anything to you. Therefore the right to total discrimination against any non-heterosexuals is a fundamental human right. The right to total discrimination against others pushing pornography onto you is a fundamental human right. The right to total discrimination against prostitution, etc is a fundamental human right. The right to be free from homo and bisexuals is a fundamental human right.
