Society justly discriminates against those who steal, dog it on the job, or swindle. On the basis of public health, it justly discriminates against smokers or those who use illegal drugs. Everyone recognizes how wrong and/or injurious these behaviors are and that they need to be discouraged.
But why doesn’t the same thing happen when one’s sexual lifestyle is so defective that they are more apt to commit suicide, get assorted STDs and cancers, and not live as long? What if they contribute less to society but, at the same time, are actually given more — in terms of benefits and protections — than average citizens? What is the response to being protected as a ‘sexual minority’ instead of being justly discriminated against? The answer? Seek even more protections — for injustice breeds more injustice.
What argument to use, however, for even more societal support? If someone is costing society more than most and contributing less than most — because of what sets them apart as a ‘sexual minority’ — and they further disrupt society by taking over rest areas, publicly having sex, and raising all kinds of cane… why shouldn’t society justly conclude that vigorous discrimination is the remedy?
The clear answer: turn the tables by contending that such discrimination is inherently unjust, and that being discriminated against causes all these bad things to happen to them.
Why not, in fact, launch a formal suit against society with these pretenses as evidence? Many might suppose ‘if they sue, surely they must be unjustly discriminated against.’ Further, filing such a suit could make it appear that society causes homosexuals to be less healthy. After all, most sane people don’t sue unless there is some merit to their case.
Of course, homosexuals are neither ‘normal’ nor particularly ‘sane.’ They are never going to frame the suit in terms of their behavior. Just how far would such a suit go if homosexuals publicly contended that they “innocently put their penises into places they don’t belong, got infected, so… society is to blame for any resulting infections and diseases…”?
No wonder then that the suit launched this year against Canadian society never mentions what homosexuals do or the medical consequences that result from this behavior. To hear the homosexuals tell it, it isn’t the anal sex or promiscuity that causes harm, it’s society’s disapproval of their activities.
Posturing as victims worked with AIDS. The slogan ‘everybody with AIDS is innocent’ seems too silly to have worked. But it did. HIV gets more research dollars per infected person than any other disease!
So why not run the same scheme for all the other maladies and troubles associated with the gay lifestyle? Exactly this is now happening in Canada. In a suit filed February 2009, the gay/lesbian/bisexual lobby complains about inequality!
