And water I wet. The moon is not made of cheese.

What are we supposed to discuss anyways?

We wait for the homophobes to show up, watch as they're crushed by a few dozen users, and then the thread is locked. You've been here since the end of 2010. You know the drill.

[Luxew]

*sigh*

Yet again, this "trend" continues. I wonder what next, the reintroduction of the Apartheid in South Africa and France revoking gay marriage (neither of these would ever happen, mind you).

The latter is quite possible.

France revoking gay marriage? That's only if the extreme-moderate right gets on the premiership

The only Conservative party I support is Norway's, really.

What a nice black and white view.

"Rights" are man-made. If you listen to what the people in favor of this say, they actually turn out some legitimate arguments.

Yeah! Like that one about a 2000 year old book telling them to hate gays. And the other one about a big man in the sky telling them to hate gays.

[Neu California]

Shouldn't this be in the LGBT Rights and Issues thread? Since, you know, this is about LGBT RIghts and Issues?

Like what?

It contributes wildly to the spread of disease, it can damage both partners involved, and it decreases the fertility rate to have it legal, all of which are major problems in Nigeria.

The Crucible was a piece of anti-gay literature?

What has been seen can't be unseen.

[Molsonian Republics]

This probably belongs in the mega thread. And the fact that Nigeria denies rights to the gays really shouldn't be a surprise. By the way, Iran doesn't look kindly on them either .

I believe it should (I have a feeling the mods will clamp down on it soon) be.

Well, it's not like this was a surprise to anyone. Nigeria has been known for its poor treatment towards homosexuals, and, obviously, it's only been getting worse.

[Loros IV]

This sounds like more Muslim persecution of nonconformists.

[The Fraticelli Papacy]

The latter is quite possible.

The only Conservative party I support is Norway's, really.

Their more extreme right wing parties are gaining traction, and I wouldn't be surprised if the leftists lost the presidency soon, seeing as Hollande is a sexual demon.

It contributes wildly to the spread of disease,

I'm assuming because of the lack of protection?

it can damage both partners involved,

How?

and it decreases the fertility rate to have it legal, all of which are major problems in Nigeria.

Proof that it decreases the fertility rate?

I have a feeling that as soon as the economic crisis ends, people will start seeing these far-right parties as fringe groups again.

1> Heterosexuals can spred diseases sexually as well
2>Number 1
3>Not everyone is gay
4>Nigeria has one of the higher birthrates on Earth. If that's the population argument, focus on countries that population is dwindling, like Germany's and Japan;s.

[Othelos]

Source. And isn't most sex between heterosexuals?

it can damage both partners involved,

So can heterosexual sex.

and it decreases the fertility rate to have it legal, all of which are major problems in Nigeria.

Nigeria has the 13th highest total fertility rate in the world, at 5.31 children per woman. Considering that's a big sign of poverty, it would actually be a good thing for the fertility rate to decrease.

Actually, Hollande's popularity has increased since news broke of an alleged affair.

1.It contributes wildly to the spread of disease, 2. it can damage both partners involved, 3. and it decreases the fertility rate to have it legal, all of which are major problems in Nigeria.

1. Bullshit. We disproved that 20 fucking years ago
2. How? Homosexuals are some of the most loving couples I've met.
3. Gays do not contribute to a fertility problem.

What are we supposed to discuss anyways?

The international reaction, for starters. I know my OP was long and contained complex bits, so to make it easier:

How do you think the international community should react to this? Cutting off aid, condemnations, sanctions, strong words, shrugging and carrying on as before, cheering and applauding, other?

You could also discuss whether it goes too far, or if you think it's OK to have legislation which makes it criminal to support homosexuals.
