The religious oppressing the LGBT community?

Bring back Section 28 and then these narcissistic "teachers" who believe it is important for pre-teen children to learn about their private sexual lives can find a more suitable place to proselytise their perversions.

We all know that "normalising" homosexual "marriage" was really all about getting the homosexual agenda into primary schools.

So don't expect any sympathy.

Learn to use 'proselytise' correctly. Please and thank you.

- Correct errors in communication.
- Do not address what has been said.

Being a pedantic ******* sure is a good tactic for debate.

Teaching children to be tolerant =/= teaching children about private sex lives.

Homosexual agenda?

Yes. It is clearly a leftie commie plan to make everyone gay and bring the world to an end.

That's completely ridiculous, the right are far more pragmatic than the left and most economists are right-wing precisely for this reason.

For better or for worse, homosexuality is never going to be eliminated from the world, because people are still going to be born gay. You could make it look like there's no homosexuality by driving it back underground and returning the issue to the 18th century, but then you'd just have a bunch of frustrated and confused homosexuals; you wouldn't have actually done away with them.

Most prominent economists are right-wing because neo-liberalism (whose 'pragmatic' economists were convinced that the boom of the 2000s would never and end subsequently drove us head-first into the Great Recession) holds sway at the moment. In the 1960s, Keynesianism was the orthodoxy, so most economists of that time would seem left-wing by comparison to today.

That said, economists tend not to be known for their views on social issues. When they are, they're usually socially libertarian (e.g. Friedman).


You've also misinterpreted me, I said you have got good intentions, but you're like the French revolutionaries, you don't realise the direction your raitonalism in politics is going because you're dealing with abstractions and not reality.

Yeah ok let's replace it with anarchist economics and we can trade in fairies.

your an anarchist, your views are too stupid to be dealt with logic so yes.

Yawn.

This isn't even a discussion about anarchism ffs.

Depends on your views I suppose. Some (the religious communities especially) see the whole LGBT movement as over-liberalisation, and abandoning traditional values which used to define our society.

On the other hand, the LGBT people see the religious communities as an oppressive, backwards bunch who need to learn to get along with others and accept them for who they are.

I can see the arguments on both side to be fair, but I get more annoyed by both movements than becoming passionate enough to choose a side. If everyone just shut up and got along things'd be a lot easier.

Obviously any attempt to stamp out homophobia is admirable, but do primary schools even have homophobia? I mean it deserves a mention when they're learning about relationships but I don't think it's healthy to devote so much time towards homosexuality, otherwise kids will get the idea that there's something weird about it and that perhaps it is normal to be hateful towards LGBT+ people.

The man shouldn't have had to resign though.

There are many who could say the same for homosexuality I suppose.

The problem with maintaining 'traditional values' is that there's nothing traditional about homophobia, especially in parts of the world where christianity and islam did not take over.

I want my child learning Maths, English & the normal curriculum. I don't need them learning about how being gay is acceptable. Frankly that's a western ideology and goes against people's religions so it can be offensive. There's two sides to every coin.
