I'll never forget news about a transsexual being beaten to death in Brazil around March this year

Yes, very sad unfortunately, that is a reality. Brazil is not a LGBT-friendly country, just a country with a strong LGBT community

Why is this world so unfair and people have to be such dicks, jesus...

Brazil as a country is completely falling apart back into the third world and this is what they’re wasting their time on? Brazilians deserve better.

THAT is the part that truly stuns me the most.  It's not about the people, it's about an opinion, a belief!!  That's the craziest thing about it.   The whole situation is just heartbreaking.  Nobody wins in something like this.

Brazil has the highest LGBT murder rate in the world.

We have a huge amount of politicians who let their religions influence on their decisions.

While this "cure" news is spreading, an exhibition was banned and a play was cancelled because of the pressure from religious groups.

It's so sad to see all of these things still happening

Yeah but no one is being forced into this tho. Its merely ending the ban that gave ppl the option

 

u cant say the beliefs are being forced

 

It would be hypocritical to say everyone should have freedom to live as they want yet then take away options from ppl who have other beliefs than u

 

left-wingers also see things only from their view and refuse to consider others... its not a flaw that only exists witb right-wingers

 

this is why im a moderate tbh

 

PS: However I see the downside of family members that might try to force kids or other members who dont want to go thru it so I think age restrictions should be in place so minors arent forced to go thru this such as by parents

That exhibition was messy tough 

There was a painting with two men raping a dog. Sorry, but I don't want my community to be related with these type of **** anymore

What?
It's like legalizing murder and then saying "yea but the law doesn't force people to murder each other, it just allows it"

[Luxe Ford 3,481]

That "cure" only results in severely traumatised individuals that are still gay.

Frankly, this scares me so much.

Sure it was messy, but not the play. I only mentioned the exhibit because both of them were cancelled because of those religious groups.

1) The thing is that there is no such thing as a gay terapy in the medical field because being gay its not a disease. If you want to advertise it as something else then do it but a government can't support something like this.

2) Children are the ones thatll suffer the most. I dont care if self-hating homosexuals want to try this but this will increase homophobia and the idea that being homosexual isn't ok. because there's "a cure" and the government supports it.

Thats a sh*tty comparison

 

This is something they can go thru themselves where-as murder ur harming someone else like WTF?  

 

My debate in any case isnt about whether people should go thru it or not thats not the point... the point is ur taking away their options

 

Liberals sometimes just like conservatives love to try to force their view on society

 

As a moderate im less biased than most of you and im legit saying both sides are equally as guilty in this aspect... Liberals love to force their ideals on society just as much as conservatives do

Unless the government is funding it or advertizing it they are not supporting it

 

Governments not banning smoking doesnt mean they want ppl to smoke (hence high tabacco taxes, money spent educating youth etc)

 

Im talking about leaving ppl the option.

 

As i said above, Liberals force theot views as much as conservatives do. If u dont agree with something u wanna just ban it

 

As a moderate im telling u, both sides of the political spectrum are both equally as horrible and unreasonable in that aspect and always say its the opposite political side that tries to force their view... both are doing the same

I could ask someone to murder me too. I could murder myself.

This isn't liberal vs conservative and it's disturbing that you don't see that. This is humane vs inhumane.
