Catholic Church Natural Law
1,095 words
... or living a lie by hiding beneath the garments
of a prescribed morality, is contrary to natural
law. Homosexuals are not making each other, or
society, bad or worse by doing what comes
naturally to them. Surely, more harm has come from
forcing these moral lepers to try and be what they
are not. For example: A man knows he is gay but
gets married, trying to put on the airs of
acceptable social norms. He has three kids with a
wife who wants to spend the rest of her life with
him. Around the ti...

Love And Affection Sexual Preference

equal. If this is true, then why is there so much
controversy involving a person's sexual
preference? Martin Luther King said it best when
he stated that everyone has a dream. Why then rain
on someone's dream when all they want to do is
love each other? Homosexuals are fighting for what
they deserve: the freedom that every citizen has
the right to love whoever they want to. Let us
discuss what gay relationships are really all
about. The stereotype...

Civil Rights Act Religious Views
1,028 words
There are arguments for and against a National
Civil Rights Act that would extend a protected
status to homosexuals. First, I feel it is
necessary to define what I think a protected
status would encompass. It would ensure that gays
are not discriminated in any way because of their
sexual practices. This status would be enforced in
all situations where the government can exercise
its power to end such discrimination. My personal
feeling toward this topic, opposes, the National
Civil Rights Act. T...

then, is there such an opposition to the repealing
of Section 28 of the Local Government Act, a
