Taking Back the Rainbow
The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch regularly asks its online readers questions. Mostly the questions are parochial or arcane in nature. Today they had a serious and very poignant and critical question. Here is their question and my reply.
The Hot Issue: Should Ohio have a law giving equal rights to (homosexual/lesbian) people in employment and housing?
gregjaye: Absolutely NOT
A better way to phrase the question would be, “Should Ohio grant special rights and privileges to homosexuals, lesbians and ‘transgendered’ individuals in employment and housing?” Or, “Should Ohio create a new classification of discrimination based primarily on the preferred sexual behavior of a minority, who choose what is considered by many as abnormal, immoral, unnatural and unhealthy behavior?” Or, “Should Ohio have a law granting SPECIAL rights to homosexuals, lesbians, transgendered individuals in matters of employment and housing?”

why is it that everyone needs to be put in groups? ive been married for 25 yrs does that put me in a group? do i get traeted different.no. do people forget about everything and everyone and only think whats in it for me. i dont know about you but i work and pay my bills. why dose that have to be different for someone who is gay/black/white/mexican. if they are born in the u.s.a. they need to work, they need to pay the bills , they need to fight for what we are not what group they fall under. we are americans we are free to go and come as we please. we are not in a third world where you are put into groups. freedom is a high price to pay for people with to much of what about me
ReplyDeleteYou are exactly right. There is no need for any laws which contain the concept of race and no need to mention a sexual orientation class in the law, but only to give real married couples child custody rights as prescribed by the scriptures.
