Civil rights struggles and gay ’rights’ activism cannot be compared
Fri Sep 6, 2013
Editor: Champions of civil rights struggles should find it insulting to hear homosexuals and their sympathisers compare gay ârightsâ activism to the 1960s civil rights fight to end racial segregation. A people fighting to have their God-given rights and freedoms respected and protected could never be equated to a movement seeking to have their sexual deviant behaviour legalized. Persons, like President Barack Obama, who continue to propagate such erroneous ideas, should remember that homosexuality is a choice. Being black isnât!{{more}}
However, Martin Luther King, Jr. did not fight for the legislation of immorality under the garb of freedom. Interestingly, we are informed that King argued in his famous “Letter from a Birmingham Jailâ that “An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law.â Clearly, sodomy is out of harmony with the moral law!
So, when homosexuals seek to get society to view their activism as similar to that of the civil rights movement, they need to know that they “cannot fool all of the people all of the time.â Civil rights struggles and gay ârightsâ activism CANNOT be compared!
