Thread Name: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
MP... This thread is simply a "follow-on" from the other threads on homosexual marriage, homosexual fostering, etc, the opening post runs......"Uganda is debating a law which would criminalise homosexuality, including the death penalty in some circumstances. The law is being promoted, apparently, by American Evangelical missionaries. Would any of our resident Christians and/ or homophobes care to indicate whether they find this to their taste?"
The post was designed to provoke heated responses, but as you know very well   "All we need, to allow evil to triumph, is that good men or women say nothing"..   :0)

On the other threads, we were debating the rights and wrongs of homosexual marriage and fostering, some maintaining that "rights" should be universal, some that "rights" should be conditional on the behaviour of minorities.....as in health issues, or the effect granting minorities their "rights" would have on other groups.....as in the re-definition of marriage to accomodate homosexual practice.

All these threads have basically been about whether rights should be universal, or remain conditional as they are at present.

These issues could pertain to any minority group seeking equal status, not just homosexuals.
