Hello! I feel that a good debate could heat up the forums!
I suggest the topic of LGBT rights, any other topic could have another thread.
To begin, I provide this Wikipedia map of LGBT rights
Personally, my stance on LGBT rights is rather neutral. I believe that everyone can come to God, and despite homosexuality is a sin, and Jesus said it, I believe God still loves homosexuals, just as He loves me, even if I'm a sinner, and so with all of us.
This is why I don't believe I'm homophobic. However, homophobia is still a problem, mainly between evangelical sects such as Ku Klux Klan and the Westboro Baptist Church (both banned in Trebia due to their anti-catholic rethoric ) who still believe the absurdity that "God hates fags". I believe that KKK and WBC are both hate groups, because their hatred for gays can only be inspired by the Leviticus, yet they could still be found eating pork and tattooing themselves. Their hypocrisy makes me think they just have it with the LGBT community.
So, my stance on the LGBT issue is this:
1. Homosexuality is stated as a sin in the Bible
2. God loves all people no matter how much they sin
3. Therefore, God must love gays as well, and has a plan for them
So, I want Trebia to:
1. Recognize the same civil rights to homosexual people than to heterosexuals
2. However, I will not recognize same sex marriage and civil unions, in order to defend the sanctity and purpose of marriage (interracial allowed )
3. I will not allow LGBT people to adopt children either, because one's rights end where someone else's begins. I will not deny children the right to have the gender roles of a mother and a father
What do you think?
