The rights of attraction

Sexual attraction has only one purpose: to facilitate reproduction. Humans have the intelligence to understand this, and that people of the same sex cannot reproduce. For one person to be sexually attracted to another of the same sex is irrational, whether it’s a choice or not.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activists have convinced themselves, judges, politicians and many of the public to pretend homosexual attraction is as rational as heterosexual attraction. LGBT activists induce sympathy for this pretense by likening their irrational desires to race. The two don’t compare. There is no functional difference between races, but the inherent ability to reproduce sets the heterosexual and homosexual partnerships apart.

The emperor is parading around naked, proud of his clothes. His subjects are deceitfully shamed into seeing what’s not there. Let’s stop the charade, and address the LGBT issues with candid truth and clear reasoning.

Some people have a deep religious belief that they offend God by providing services supporting same-sex partners’ imitation of the institution God designed for heterosexuals. Practicing one’s religion is a natural and constitutional right. Defend their rights.

Same-sex partners have rights. To be treated as if they can reproduce is not one of them.
