BUTTIGIEG AND THE GAY HATERS

It’s become something of a requisite for a Peter Buttigieg rally: hecklers screaming out their anti-gay attacks.

Here, from Luke Kenton’s article in London’s Daily Mail, are key elements of the latest incident:

• Buttigieg was speaking at the Dallas County Democratic Party’s Johnson Jordan Dinner yesterday evening when he was interrupted by four protesters
• The protesters’ cries were in reference to biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, which were ‘reduced to ruin as a result of sinful acts – including sodomy’ 
• Others shouted ‘marriage is between a man and a woman.’ Another protester repeatedly shouted ‘repent,’ during Buttigieg’s speech 
• ‘I packed my bags for Afghanistan to defend that man’s speech,’ Buttigieg declared to the audience in response

My attitude about this is very basic – and has absolutely nothing to do with politics:

-If you don’t think it’s OK to marry someone of your sex, then don’t do it.

-If you think it’s against God’s law, then don’t do it.

-If you think practitioners of homosexual relations will rot in hell, then don’t do it.

-But if you think that, because you have these beliefs, you have the right to prevent people who don’t share your beliefs from having homosexual relations or marrying, then take a hike.

Put another way, if Peter Buttigieg or any other gay or lesbian person wants to have relations with another person of the same sex – with or without marriage in the bargain – THAT IS THEIR BUSINESS.

No one is demanding that you take on their sexual orientation.  Who are you to demand that they take on yours?

The operative word here is freedom.  Let me say it again:  FREEDOM.

If you value the freedom to fall in love with someone, maybe marry that person, then why would you deny anyone else the same freedom?

You don’t like that some people fall in love and marry members of the same sex?  WHO CARES.  IT IS THEIR LIVES, NOT YOURS.

I hope I’ve made myself clear on this issue.
