Homosexuality Should Not Be A Protected Class.

As many of my readers are well aware, I have personally experienced the wrath of the liberal progressive movement which demands adherence to their prevailing wisdom and thought. Here’s another example of political correctness run amok, and another well intentioned individual who has lost their job because they dared ask questions that go against the liberal progressive agenda. I remain unafraid to ask tough questions or to make my thoughts known so let me tell you what I think of this subject.

I have been disgusted with the comparison of sexual behaviors and race for a long time. I’ve heard individuals compare the acceptance of homosexual behavior with the civil rights era too many times to count. This angers me to no end. It is a deceptive comparison used to illicit a sympathetic emotional response and it dishonors those who have fought for civil rights and it hurts the cause of racial harmony.

You see, discriminating against an individual solely for an attribute which is out of their control (like race) is not only wrong, it shows a lack of intelligence. Much like an innocent baby in the womb is not guilty of anything for merely existing, a person cannot be held responsible for an attribute like race, gender, or age that they did not choose. A behavior is a completely different animal. Homosexuality deserves to be a protected class about as much as peanut butter and jelly sandwich eaters do.

I’m a firm believer that special protected classes should be limited to attributes that are not choices an individual makes, but instead natural biological traits. Age, Gender, Race, Ethnicity, these are all traits that every human being shares but does not choose. You do not have a say in whether or not you’ll be male or female. Nor do you have a say in whether you’re black or white. These are simply facts. The same cannot be said for “sexual orientation.” How can I be so sure? With age, gender, and race the proof is self evident. With “sexual orientation” the burden of proof has not been met.

There is no conclusive scientific consensus to show us that anything other than heterosexuality is something that anyone is actually born with. We also have evidence of individuals who have made the decision to behave in a homosexual or bisexual way, and then there are those who flip back and decide to act heterosexual again! These are all behavioral choices made by individuals. There is no reason people who behave in this fashion should be considered a protected class. Last time I checked, there isn’t any way to change your race (unless your Michael Jackson) but even then all he’s done is change his skin color not his actual racial makeup.

Furthermore, there is the fact that we are naturally born with one of two genders, when these two different genders come together they can reproduce. When two members of the same gender try to come together… well… needless to say it simply doesn’t work out! I’m certainly not suggesting that reproduction is the sole purpose of a relationship but it’s certainly a major factor in choosing a life partner. If it weren’t why would so many heterosexual couples have children and why would homosexual couples seek to adopt children? To me that shows that they (the homosexual couples) are subconsciously seeking some normalcy in their relationship. People simply aren’t born like this, to live a homosexual lifestyle is to behave abnormally.

So, now that I’ve got homosexuals fired up, let me say this: I’m not trying to tell you what what to do with your lifestyle. That’s your decision alone. It only becomes something I’m concerned with when I am forced to accept it as a protected class! This in essence means that I have to endorse your behavior. Which is just silly! The whole point of my argument here is that behavior choices don’t deserve special rights. By giving special rights to homosexuals it not only elevates the behavior but it also tramples on the rights of individuals who don’t share the same behavior nor do they accept it.

Some people will no doubt think I’m clearly out of touch for writing this logical nonsense. I don’t claim to be politically correct, I just claim to be right.
