quote: Originally posted by MrFun Drug use disrupts a person's mental capabilities, and with a powerful addiction, can seriously undermine an employee's competence at work, and his/her sense of a good work ethic. Sexual orientation has no such detrimental effects.

So why is there a campaign to decriminalize drug use? Doesn't that mean there are people arguing that drugs can be used responsibly with no more ill effects than alcohol use? That drug abuse is a choice, and society should find non-criminalized ways of dealing with it? I disagree with that ideology, and I disagree with the ideology of homosexual activism.

People are always wanting their vices to be condoned, either by the law or in the breach. People are easily deluded about their own vices "not hurting anybody." The child molesters who reported their "observations" to Kinsey were convinced the children were enjoying sexual gratification; clearly their perception was skewed.

There are researchers outside the gay lifestyle and people formerly in the gay lifestyle who are convinced that homosexual practice is not a matter of genetic predisposition. They are convinced it is a matter of conditioning and is harmful to the psychological weal of those who practice it.

It doesn't matter how many justices force the matter from the bench and activists force the matter by acclamation, outside the democratic and scientific processes of deliberation and discovery. Yes, that includes the APA and like organizations that clearly responded to political correctness rather than actual studies of homosexual patients.

quote: Originally posted by Ben Kenobi So if Mr. Fun agrees that we can discriminate against people for the choices they make, they should also discriminate against gay people.

Homosexuality has no negative effects on the person nor on society. So there is no justification for employment discrimination against gays.

I should have made the distinction between responsible drug use and drug abuse. Since abuse of any substance means that the substance abuser is using it to the point that it disrupts other aspects of that person's life.
