China cracks down on house churches

that if they can prove sexual orientation is a choice, then gays are not entitled to equal rights.

You already have the ability to practice your sexuality in the manner of your choosing, with the sole restriction that you do not do so in public. And even that restriction has loopholes, like during your pride parades.

You should adopt 'truth in advertising' and call them sexual freedom parades, which is really all they are anyways.

That's not a very good argument. Why can religion be displayed in public, but your sexuality can't?

Isn't it your position that Mr. Fun's practicing of his sexuality at all is a sin and an affront to God? Well, practicing religion is a sin and an affront to the Chinese government.

I don't think anyone has gotten my argument correct.

Yeah, but Ben doesn't want to go around to MrFun's house and interrupt his nookie.

I know why Boris and others get a migraine whenever they TRY to debate with you. You seem to have this undying habit of distorting other people's arguments.


My point was not that gays are denied a right to pratice sex in public places. You already know what the point of my statement was, you just want to dodge it.

Why aren't you a politician??

I don't know about that. Ben seemed to disapprove when the SCOTUS struck down sodomy laws. So that would indicate he does want to go into people's houses and interrupt their nookie.

Last time I checked sexuality is displayed in public hence the scantly dressed pop stars such as madonna christina agulara and the spears *****. Its the acts them selves such as intercourse that are not allowed.
And further more last time i checked i havent heard of a relegion that has to people screwing in public. How these two topics sex and relegion in public can be compared is beyond me

Read again. I said 'practiced' not displayed. The quote is even in your own post.

True, but then I do not equate God with the government.

Equal rights is a nebulous concept. Unless you refine it, it is hard for me to figure out what you mean by 'equal rights'. Given the context of the thread I assumed you were equating religious freedom to what you believe to be sexual freedom.

'Seemed to disapprove'? Nope. I said that if something is a law it ought to be enforced. Sodomy restrictions cannot be enforced, therefore they ought to be repealed.

If you really wanted to you can dig up a thread where I make that precise argument.

I really don't want to interrupt Mr. Fun's nookie. I like to keep my food down rather than tasting it again.
