gay people ought to have rights

In this debate I will be defending That gay people should have rights. The backbone of my case will be the case of human rights. The other aspects of my case will be explained systematically.Human rights advances this resolution.All humans deserve to have egalitarian human rights. Be the person gay or heterosexual because all of these orientations as relating to humans are in fact human. Thus, Homosexuals ought to be entitled to human rights. I will define human rights by quoting the fist line of the preamble of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights(UDOHR)---"Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,"........http://www.un.org...So Gay people according to the UDOHR are entitled to freedom, justice, and peacee. These rights are to be guaranteed regardless of social status, race, sex, or religion etc.....Article 2. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty. Conclusion of this point---Human rights guarantees equal rights among humans because all humans deserve to have rights. Since homosexuals are human, they deserve to have rights. Denying marriage to homosexuals contradicts equality pertaining to human rights. Article 16. (1) Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution. (2) Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses. (3) The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State. Natural- Present in or produced by nature Fundamental- serving as, or being an essential part of, a foundation http://dictionary.reference.com... Obviously gay people fit these two definitions. They are present in nature and are produced by nature therefore there natural. Gay people serve in our society by getting jobs. Every job contributes to the foundation of society so gay people fit the definition of fundamental as well. Thus denying gay people of the right to marriage is a violation of the UDOHR. Conclusion of this point--By denying gay people of the rights stated in the UDOHR, in this particular case marriage states violate the principles of equality in the UDOHR witch is to be enforced internationally.Gay people should have to right to donate blood.Gay people, men in particular arnt allowed to give blood.....http://www.msnbc.msn.com...I understand that there is this argument where people believe that gay people have stds."a 1983 prohibition meant to prevent the spread of HIV through transfusions. "This prohibition is illogical. So what this tells us is that they plan to prevent the spread of aids via denying gay people the option of donating blood. First of all, I think its absolutely absurd to allow anyone to give blood without testing the blood. Which they don't do even if your straight. They also fail to realize that straight people carry hiv as well. If we are truly to apply there line of logic, then straight people ought not to give blood either because they carry hiv as well. We ought to test all the blood given. Back to my point,Gay people are no different blood wise than any other normal person. Thus I believe it is unethical to deny gay people the option to give blood.conclusion of this point--Since gay people and straight people alike can get hiv, we should not exclude gay people from this. Thus, gay people should have the right of the option of giving blood, and to not be discriminated on by social status.Case conclusion---Human rights guarantees equal rights among humans because all humans deserve to have rights. Since homosexuals are human, they deserve to have rights, By denying gay people of the rights stated in the UDOHR, in this particular case marriage states violate the principles of equality in the UDOHR witch is to be enforced internationally, Since gay people and straight people alike can get hiv, we should not exclude gay people from this. Thus, gay people should have the right of the option of giving blood, and to not be discriminated on by social status.
