What if it were illegal for you to be you? - Kaleidoscope Trust

What if it were illegal for you to be you? Imagine if it were illegal to have blue eyes or be under 5ft 10ins and if breaking this law meant you could go to prison or face attack or even death.

In many countries around the world, gay people don't have to imagine it. They already face the very real prospect of being criminalised for their sexuality. In no fewer than 78 countries around the world homosexual acts are still illegal. In five of them the maximum penalty is death.

The Kaleidoscope Trust campaigns for equality to be respected everywhere and there is universal acceptance of human rights for all regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Welcome to America: where being gay is a choice but being fat is genetic.

Sometimes, it really feels like we haven't advanced since the days of stoning people just for being a different religion.

Grow the fuck up, homophobes.

Seriously.

You wouldn't like it someone beat the shit out of you or dragged your name into the dirt for being straight.

If nothing else what happened to treating others as you want to be treated?

I'm not lashing out at Christianity. There are many religions that believe in a god. I never mentioned the christianity in my post. Perhaps I was too frank. I'm merely sick of trying to be converted by religious fanatics who may or may not be christian, jewish, or ect. Please don't accuse me at lashing out at Christianity when it was not specified. It was generalized. I fail to see how my non religious views is anymore offensive than that of others preaching about god to a non- religious person.

I understand the temptation to lash out at a group (Christianity), of which many of its members have promoted homophia, but your comment hardly encourages tolerance, does it? Besides, it's not Christianity that should be condemned, it's certain Christians and bigoted people. Pick your battles and practise what you preach.

Whatever. There is no god. God is an idea created by man to explain the universe. Go try to brainwash someone else. I was created by a process known as impregnation that SCIENCE can explain...

ну рас уж это, как ты говориш "болезнь", и она не лечится, значит это инвалидность... что ж к кому обращатся за пенсией? и думаеш государство будет содержать этих людей?

какраз если говорить про природу как о иовм мире, то там , это вполне нормальное явление... жирафы, бегемоты, буйвалы, козы, бараны.... а про баранов вообще, если поставить перед бараном собрата и овцу, в 70% он выберет другого барана... говорить что это противоречит природе, просто глупо.

я слишком далек от церкви, атеизм ближе, но любое нарушение девственности жопы мужчины есть то самое "пострадало" не важно по мнимой любви это было или нет. Я с таким же успехом не пойму гетеро, сующих в себя различного рода объекты от вожделения. Это в любом случае болезнь, и не надо там про Душевное состояние и прочее, это аномально с точки зрения природного мироздания
