The Fair-Minded Position on So-Called “Rights” Based on an Alleged Sexual Behavioral Choice, “Identity” or “Expression”
FIRST PRINCIPLE: Compassion, respect and love for all human beings inspire our frank disagreement with extremist agendas and ideologies seeking to impose discriminatory and unjust laws based on alleged sexual behavioral choices, “preferences,” “identities” or “expressions.” We oppose destructive, hateful agendas and ideologies, not human beings.
SECOND PRINCIPLE: Equality and human rights are based on our humanity and intrinsic dignity as persons, not on an alleged sexual behavioral choice, “preference,” “identity” or “expression.”
THIRD PRINCIPLE: Equality, fairness, and right reason hold that no one can justly claim, demand, or receive a legal benefit, protection, or “right” due to an alleged sexual behavioral choice, “preference,” “identity” or “expression.”
FOURTH PRINCIPLE: People respect themselves and others by treating human sexuality with the utmost dignity and decorum, as something personal, intimate, and private, not as something to exploit, flaunt or scandalize.
FIFTH PRINCIPLE: People self-identify and seek to be recognized by the content of their character, not by an alleged sexual behavioral choice, “preference,” “identity” or “expression.”
True human rights are based on our humanity, equality, and intrinsic dignity as persons. Civil rights are based on our legal status as residents in a country. Neither human nor civil rights are based on an alleged sexual behavioral choice, “preference,” “identity” or “expression.” Accordingly, no one should claim, demand or receive a legal benefit, protection or so-called “right” on account of an alleged sexual behavioral choice, “preference,” “identity” or “expression.” It’s that simple!
