Homosexuality and the Constitution

#13
honestly I think the founding fathers would balk at this idea. as odd as their ideals were their main goal was a nation where people could be free to be themselves without oppression... sadly I think we've kinda crapped all over that idea with slavery, racism, sexism, and all the other isms that go with it.

true equality is impossible without some kind of agreement on what is and is not okay and that's going to come with a lot of resentment from cultural groups who disagree and or who have long standing traditions which go against the personal freedoms of the various groups being oppressed.

for example I grew up christian, left Christianity as I got older and while I heavily disagreed with what the local church thought about women way back when I still went to avoid issues with the community, peer pressure being a powerful thing and the mob being dangerous to rile up.

I want to state for the record that I am completely against oppression of any kind against any group without good reason, and I don't mean social or economic reasons.

for example I'd be heavily biased against anyone who's a member of ISIS but if homosexuals want to go past simply dating then that's their business and it's no business of ours to tell them what they can and cannot do.

nobody has the right to tell someone else that they can or cannot do something simply because they act, think, feel, or look different than the visual and or economic majority, it's just not right.

furthermore I want you to think about what kinds of people actually wrote the constitution.

Benjamin franklin was an eccentric, nudist, recreational drug user with polygamist tendencies.
today he would be beaten up, his home vandalized, and himself forced into exile by a society that would deem him unclean.
however without his brilliance and helping hand in so many things america would not be what it is today.

and that's just ONE example, there's more but I won't go into it.
