Morality has no place defining laws though, as morality differs from person to person. There is no set measure for it. It is nothing more than emotion, and an idiotitic constuct by which to judge ones actions.

No matter how you look at it, it is todays society that is wrong. The mentality of viewing Same-sex relationships as wrong, thats only a concept born in the past 100-200 years. Viewing trans-gender as below others? Same as same-sex relationships. If you look at historical texts and records, you can see there was in fact a time when trans-gender people were worshiped. Look at the Mayans, the Romans. You'll see a startling contrast in view to these things compared to today. Society is finally beginning to move forward again, in more ways than one.

This along with other events led to increased empathy for others in general. However, there are people around who use this to their advantage or just whine for the sake of attention. And of course people who take things too far and complain about everything they can find which they can construe as unfair, who call for rules which would end up being strangleholds on the freedoms of everyone else. And on the other side of the spectrum you get discriminatory pigs.

Sorry for the late response.


It's fine- been through my own bullshit myself as of late. To be honest mate, I'm very against revocation of clauses like double jeopardy, because even if the person may be a racist bastard, and even if new evidence pops up after a jury of their peers acquitted them of all criminal allegations, why should I be charged twice for the same crime under the same circumstances?

That's neither here nor there though. Fact of the matter is: We can not focus on the actions of our ancestors to be the sole determinant as to what actions we should take in the present. Obviously, it has an influence and it would be madness to deny that, but we need to focus more on the now rather than the then, which is where I feel advocacy in general (not just LGBT+ advocates) fuck it up royally for their cause.

Homelessness LGBT individuals are faced with inadequate housing and services to cater for their specific needs. 40 to 50% of homeless youth in New York City's stress identify as LGBT. They have been forced into homelessness because of rejection or thrown out of their homes or have attempted to escape from an abusive situation. In 2014, same-sex couples were not able to access family housing in the shelter system in the US. Transgender individuals were not allowed to choose which gender they were more comfortable living in the shelter system. LGBT homeless individuals were exposed to abuse and harassment in the shelter system.

Homelessness without the necessary economic support can lead to frequent engagement in drug use, risky sexual behaviours and development of mental health disorders. Homeless LGBT youth miss out on education and social support during their critical development years. More than half of homeless LGBT youth report experiencing discrimination from peers.



sorry but this proves , the lgbt community is full of mentally ill people

All you are saying is that someone who is abused, whether it be mentally, physically, or sexually, is more prone to mental health issues, and that in contrast, someone who is not abused, and receives the proper care, is healthier both mentally and physically, which is true in any situation.

Morality IS law. It's not relative to individual interpretation or perspective. It just is . No man can change it and to deny its absolutivity is to deny morality in its entirety. Whether you share my faith or not is irrelevant: a majority of laws in the civilized world were based on principles of Christian culture in the first place. Morality is absolute, no matter what you believe, and there is no changing that no matter how hard you try.

Mark my words. It may not be immediate, but society will crumble as liberalism continues to promote the destruction of morality and tradition in favor of "personal freedom" and social justice. You think the world is horrendous today? Remove all the stops put in place due to morality, wait a couple years, and this current world will be as Eden. Ignorance and denial of morality's absolutivity will make this planet a wasteland.

In Singapore, LGBT rights for males are sadly lacking, particularly for same sex marriage, although LGBT rights for females are recognized.

This is not surprising as we are known for our draconian and rigid laws and many people all over the world may liken our country to a dictatorship or chastise our laws, but the government does take a pragmatic and more conservative approach to things than many other western countries. The Singapore government prioritizes economic growth and racial and religious harmony over freedom of speech and rights. This may also be due to the Singapore society being more conservative and stigmatizing same-sex marriage and gay couples, with the government upholding an anti-LGBT stance towards male same sex marriage in order to avoid tension and inflame certain segments of society, in their own words. After all, we are a multi-racial and multi-religious society and there is no one size approach that fits all, and I gather that not everyone or every segment in society views LGBT rights negatively, likewise positively.

Personally, I do not discriminate the LGBT community. To me, they are normal human beings like you and me, and we should respect them as such. I just hope that our government can loosen a bit on their anti-LGBT stance, but yet at the same time I understand that there may be back lashes from certain segments of society and there may still be stigmatization from certain segments of society towards the LGBT community. Our government has relaxed a lot on its laws, but I just hope they do view the LGBT community in a more positive light.

The foundation of the civilized world was liberalism, not your Bronze Age trash. Stealing the credit for Western civilization and giving it to barbaric Christian "culture" is just one more factor accelerating the decline.

Parasites do not create their host. Even if your remarks were 100% true, that doesn't change the fact that morality is simply a more or less consensus of opinion that cannot be removed from law.

Did you quote the right person? Not only do I agree with that, I didn't say anything about morality and law.
