LGBT People Should Have Equal Rights

Pro: "Sexual orientation should have no bearing on a person's rights." * Pro: "All men and women are equal regardless of who they choose to love or sleep with." There is no equal anyone. It doesn't exist, nor should it. The words, "We should all be equal," are a utopian concept that does not reward hard work, rewards slothfulness, and suffocates greatness. If true equality existed, we would have never gotten this guy... Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time- http://youtu.be... Or this woman... Ellen DenGeneres http://youtu.be...

Reality dictates that for a group to get "equal rights", they will never get them for free, but will inevitably have to fight to the death for them.

Anthony "Mr. President how long must women wait to get their liberty? Let us have the rights we deserve!" -Alice Paul Alice Paul- http://youtu.be... Susan B.

"There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers." -Susan B. Anthony There shall never be another season of silence until women have the same rights men have on this green earth." -Susan B. Anthony "Unless women are prepared to fight politically they must be content to be ignored politically." -Alice Paul * LGBT's have taken a position of inferiority in society. I believe the mistake has been allowing a divide between them and the majority that has planted an us against them mentality, which will never change anything for the better for them. It simply allows the carnal, flawed human side of the majority to lock the door of a two-way conversation. Attacking the majority's beliefs is defeating. They must appeal to the deeper, best part of the majority's beliefs. That is just reality. The black rights and female movements appealed to the conscience of America, to the mindset of the majority. What majority? Christians...so shall it be neccessary for the LGBT community. Jesus Christ- "When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin cast the first stone at her." (John 8:7) "Do not judge others, so that you will not be judged." (Matthew 7:1) "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34) "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12) Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:37-40) "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Matthew 7:2) "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." (Luke 6:37) “And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, ‘Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners." (Mark 2:17) "Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved well. But whosoever has been forgiven little loves little." (Luke 7:47) "Which of the two did what his father wanted?" "The first," they answered. Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you." (Matthew 21:31) "For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not believe him." (Matthew 21:32)
