Should you be allowed to express your views against homosexuality, gays and lesbians, et cetera? |
The first person posting under 'Yes' makes a very valid point.
You certainly have every right to express whatever views you hold. That doesn't necessarily mean that it is beneficial or right to express those views, but you should be in no way prohibited from exercising your freedom of speech. Down with tyranny.

If they have the right to have any sexuality they want, we have to right to not like it or not approve it. Its equal rights to everyone. Homosexuals shouldn't feel oppressed by this, and maybe if they accepted peoples opinion upon them, they would have been more '' accepted '' by society.

If you have a negative attitude towards anyone, you still have the right to express it, even though it may not be politically correct. Many people have negative views on Christians and political conservatives. I doubt their viewpoints will ever be banned.

Many people believe, be it because of their faith tradition or their philosophical convictions, that sexuality is properly ordered towards the relationship between a man and a woman. To disallow the expression of this opinion would be an unthinkable restriction on freedom of speech, freedom of conscience and freedom of religion.

Why should we be banned from freedom of speech? Those are my rights as an American! Only when we cow-tow to the belief of others, are we truly in shackles. We say that blacks should've been quiet when they couldn't vote, or women should've been quiet when they had no rights. It's only been when people fought for their beliefs that things changed. The same is said for those that dont support a pro-gay agenda.

I am not a homosexual, although my mother (bi) and uncle (gay) are. I love them with all my heart. I have a couple of friends who have not "come out," as you would say. It breaks my heart to think the people I love the most could not be able to express themselves. If you think of it as a religion thing, how about you run this through your head: If God did not want homosexuals, why would he have created them? I believe that when you are born you like one or the other or you could like both. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and choice. I support homosexuality! Keep your confidence and keep it going, don't let anyone stop you!
Posted by: AnonymousI am supporting this statement
I believe as an individual you have the right of expression and movement. I believe that it is okay to express yourself even in public. Homosexuality I agree with. Although politics and religion may not agree with it I myself feel it is okay to be a lesbian, a gay person or to be a bisexual. I just love the idea, it is what makes up society.

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all.
There are situations where some opinions will not benefit any conversation. Some people would take free speech as an opportunity to verbally attack others. This is unneeded and arrogant.
Posted by: AnonymousKeep your opinion to yourself
The homosexuals that you may express your views against have more than likely already heard everything you are going to say against them. If you're against homosexuality, then fine, don't go around belittling the homosexuals. Most people who are against the homosexual community don't know a homosexual, were raised by ignorant parents who don't know a homosexual, were raised in a community where homosexuality is a sin, and they don't have enough knowledge to try and see life from a homosexual's point of view. They are naive to the lifestyle of homosexuals and should learn before they speak. If it's a religious debate when you express your views against homosexuality, it's been said before, no need to re-word and say what's been said before.
