- finding official information is difficult, so if someone wants either to recap the articles or to look for the official text, that may be useful
ReplyDelete- The people supporting these laws are claiming that they are not discriminative. What is your opinion ?
- These states are all southern states. Do you think there are some parts of America where people are still discriminative ? Why ?
- Do you believe that discrimination against LGBT people is an important worldwide problem ?
In my opinion this law isn't discriminative since it allows people to have free religions and morals also forbid these law will be discriminative because this law will accept only one way of thinking which is impossible in a all country !
ReplyDeleteAnd here I was, being so happy about what you posted on the previous topic, and now you had to write that. You really get me up and down !
DeleteHave you read some of the articles that I linked ? The point of these laws is in no way to allow freedom of religion or freedom of thought, they already have that and I hope that they never remove it.
What it does say is basically that if someone feels offended by someone's sexual orientation or gender identity because it goes against their ethics, they can choose not to offer them a professional service that they would offer to straight cisgender people.
Now that does seem pretty discriminative to me, if really you are curious about why I think that, I'll give you my reasons, I would just prefer to let other people argue so that they think about it themselves. Now of course, it is possible that you have a different opinion, but the thing is that you'll have to give a better argumentation !
(sorry for the rant, please understand that it is the expression of my surprise more than anything else)
You always think danger comes from one side : you pay attention to what you eat, you try to protect animals, you sign petitions for bees and against pesticides, you recycle and donate for migrants or you spread videos against Trump (but he doesn't need you to act as a fool, he manages perfectly well by himself...) and then, danger comes from the south of the USA. I sometimes feel useless...
ReplyDeleteThese anti LGBT laws are dangerous because they are against the rights of freedom or the rights of thinking. No wonder they come from the south of the USA, where slavery was a way of life, where Dixie is still an official anthem and where segregation is still unofficially present.
When the American Constitution was written in 1787, it was said to "promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity"... so what now??? And what of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" in the Declaration of Independence in 1776???
I had heard that Bryan Adams and Bruce Springsteen had cancelled their concerts in Mississippi and North Carolina in support to LGBT; they are the ones who can make people react, their "voice is stronger" they say "if they don't sing". So go and buy one of their CDs!
Personally, I don't think that this law will really be discriminative. Maybe the southern United States have a different vision of the rest of the country, and therefore does not accept gay marriage. All US states may not necessarily agree with this law.
ReplyDeletePersonnally, I think that this law is not discriminative. I think the southern United States has a different vision of the rest of the United States. All states of the United States can not necessarily have the same vision as the whole country, and agree to the law on gay marriage.
