Actually, this angry display toward homosexuals on this board
Well, I think you're a bit overboard yourself if you believe this is the case.
Personally, while I don't accept their lifestyle as natural, it's their right to live the way choose as consenting adults. But in my opinion, if you don't have the proper "plumbing" to procreate, then you're not in a natural relationship, but an elective one.
As for hate crime legislation, it's ridiculous to propose that gays, minorities, or anyone else murdered as a result of racial hatred possess more of a right to have their murderer pay the ultimate penalty than would a caucasian murder victim.
Hey.. if I were murdered, I wouldn't care why they killed me, whether for my money, my car, or because they thought I was a "cracka'.." I would want them ALL TO FACE THE ULTIMATE PENALTY, namely life, or the capital punishment in murder cases.
Any murder (not manslaughter, self-defense... etc), but down and out intentional slayings of innocent victims who were just "in the wrong place at the wrong time"...
Too much tweaking around with element of motive in a murder is a dangerous step to created protected classes of humans in a society where no one's rights are greater than the next persons.
If you want to fix the problem.. get tough with enforcement and sentencing of those already outrageous cases of murder. |
