I understand arguments/frustrations from all sides. It's the nuances that are difficult to express in 140 characters.
-
I can see that ppl who'd deny ppl rights coz race, gender, sexuality can be good ppl otherwise &well-intentioned 1/2
-
But there's not much nuance in the argument for doing so if you value human rights, equality & freedom.
-
I don't disagree with those ideals necessarily. But, unfettered human rights, equality & freedom is unrealistic.
-
Well, they're not unfettered. Equality is qualified as equal opportunities & rights for ppl of all races, genders & sexualities
-
Which I support in principle, but they do threw up difficulties in everyday interpretation and implementation. Equal pay?
-
We have equal pay laws. You cannot pay someone less because of their gender. 'Interpretation' doesn't change that.
-
I agree, but discrimination on gender should be specifically proven, not demanding equal pay just because of shared job titles.

Maybe, but doubt it would have. If I was gay they would have loved me 100% but still shook their heads if I married.
-
Hard to ppl wld see their own children childless & their unions unrecognised due to sexuality... Or race!
-
Truth is, my parents were of their time/environment but, loving, and didn't produce homophobic children. My point.

Good people with one bad idea. My father is the same.
