1966. Muslims like you always dragging us to the past
Even if it year 2050 what was wrong in 1966 is wrong now. The only thing that changed was the law. The law persecuted them bcuz it recognized danger this practice poised to the community. It protects them in 21st century but it is still the same act. And now, see what it is doing to people

Sex education actually plays a part in reducing teen pregnancy.

But you wouldn't know that because your madrasa taught you to hate western concepts.
Fake news. I guess you need to look around you or better still, travel around the world to see how "sex education reduces teen pregnancy". Nonsense. What kinda white lie is this?

Morality is subjective. Morality changes

In the 70s, people thought that smoking cigarettes was okay.

I'm sure it was halal until the late 80s when they found out it was cancerous.

It is of recent that there are fatwas declaring cigarettes to be haram.

A lot of Muslims used to smoke before. Go and read about tobacco fatwas

No, i can read btw the line. If you understand and declare something is haram, you have no more business advocating for it or indireclty defending homosexual as you rightly put up defence against sino's. This means that you consider it haram is a lip service. I am not a fool. And at no point i have ever supported the so called sex education. You can quote me if i did. If you cant it means you lied. Sex education in itself exposes kids to sexual immorality. It improves nothing in the community. If something is haram it must be hated. What we dont do it attack the one who engages in it. That's a crime. Only the State has the right to persecute. You can hate a gay man but don't attack him. Attacking him is tantamount to hate crime. Just like atheists openly say in secular world "fuvk the modafuvking G-d". No one arrest them for it bcus it is not a crime. But attacking believers in God is.

So the so called "gay lesson" being taught in the UK is introduction and exposition of children to this debauchery.

Lol. Yeah because I'm unable to freely speak and Express my opinion. smiley. Are you okay ? Like I actually think you have an issue with comprehension. I never said you advocated for sex education I said I didnt see you protesting against it like you are now. Please READ. READ. Didnt you have to do some sort of english comprehension exam before they granted your Visa ?

Lol sex education does no such thing. If you were to look at countries without sex education vs countries that do have sex education youd see a correlation between sexual maturity and the practice of safe sex and sex education.

Oh God. Criminal lesson 101. Free speech is not a crime but it does carry some implications. If not. I DARE you, go to your employer and tell them you hate gays. Tell your employer that gays have a mental disorder and should hide their sexuality. Harvard recently rescinded an offer letter to a school for hate speech. You're free to do the same.

Since we've established you've an issue with comprehension. I am absolutely an advocate of gay rights. I dont agree with homosexuality. I am well aware that it is haram. But I do not think gay people should be discriminated against. It is absolutely paramount that students learn how to be tolerant to anyone that may face persecution for the way they are.

No its not. Lol. You're on some other planet.

You sound more and more uneducated. If you had been as ungrateful as you are now back in 1966, where black people had JUST GOT CIVIL RIGHTS THAT ABOLISHED SEGREGATION. You wouldn't be spewing this rubbish. It was wrong for black people to use the same books as white people. Does the foolish logic you just used here apply still ?

First of all, as Muslms, the facts remain that homosexuality is haram! There is no amount of civilization that can change this! That the world is so messed up, and we have societies that promote this behavior is not a yardstick for Islam!

Prior to all the UN, civil rights activism, amnesty international etc., Islam had stated clearly:

"O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do." (Sahih International Qur'an 5:cool

Of course, Islam frowns at homosexuality and homosexuals, but wouldn't deny the fact that they are humans and have the right to life, but based on principles of what is acceptable in an Islamic society. Islam frowns at overt expression of sexuality and sexual relations, even amongst lawful couples. So normally, your sexual adventures are to remain private, the problem is when you start making what ought to be private to the public and then forcing others to accept it as normal.

I stand to be corrected, but I haven't read any empirical evidence that suggests that homosexuality is normal, up till the 20th century, it was regarded as a mental disorder! Regardless of what science might uncover, it is pure common sense to know that the anus isn't a sex organ, a man and man or woman and woman is odd and doesn't make sense...The most awkward part is to now see these gays acting the opposite sexes in a relationship! Like it is obvious what is normal is a man and woman!

The below excerpt captures why I believe there is indeed a surreptitious plot to force the narrative that homosexuality is normal...

"The American Psychiatric Association and the APA provide the aforementioned studies as the scientific evidence that homosexuality is a normal variant of human sexual orientation. The APA noted that homosexuality per se implies no impairment in judgment, stability, reliability, or general social and vocational capabilities. Further, the APA urges all mental health professionals to take the lead in removing the stigma of mental illness that has long been associated with homosexual orientations (Glassgold et al. 2009, 23–24). The Amici Curiae Brief reiterates the same claim, and it supports the claim by citing the aforementioned literature which looked at “adjustment” and social functioning (Brief of Amici Curiae 2003, 11). As has been shown, though, adjustment and social functioning are irrelevant to determining whether the sexual deviations are mental disorders. As a result, the scientific studies that only looked at measures of adjustment and social functioning draw erroneous conclusions and result in “false negatives” as Spitzer, Wakefield, Bieber, and others have noted. Unfortunately, fatally flawed reasoning has served as the basis for “rigorous” and “scientific evidence” supporting the claim that homosexuality is not a mental disorder but is rather a normal variant of human sexual orientation. One cannot conclude (with Alfred Kinsey) that a human behavior is normal simply because it is more common than previously assumed—otherwise all human behaviors, including serial killing, would have to be considered normal. One cannot conclude (with C.S. Ford and Frank A. Beach) that there is “nothing unnatural” about a behavior simply because it is observed in both humans and animals— otherwise cannibalism would have to be considered to be natural. Most importantly, One cannot conclude (with Evelyn Hooker, John C. Gonsiorek, the APA, the American Psychiatric Association, and others) that a mental condition is not disordered because it does not result in “maladjustment,” distress, or impairment in social functioning—otherwise, many mental disorders would have to be labeled erroneously as normal. The conclusions arrived at in the cited literature are not supported by the premises proposed to be scientific fact; the faulty works cannot be considered credible sources.It is always best to give others “the benefit of the doubt.” Maybe the APA and the American Psychiatric Association accidentally made catastrophic logical mistakes in the literature they cite as evidence supporting the claim that homosexuality (and other sexual deviances) is not a mental disorder; that scenario is quite possible. Still, one should not be naïve and ignore the potential for powerful organizations to perform advocacy science. There are major inconsistencies in logic as well as arbitrary applications of certain principles by those upheld as “authoritative” in identifying and diagnosing mental disorders. The present summary and analysis in this paper of the literature put forth as “rigorous” and “significant” empirical evidence uncovers major deficiencies—irrelevant, outdated, and absurd literature—and calls into question the credibility of the APA and the American Psychiatric Association’s discussion and identification of sexual disorders. Indeed, suspect anecdotes and antiquated data have been used in the debates surrounding homosexuality, but the evidence shows that even the authoritative sources on mental disorders are guilty of those charges."

Things changes, research evolves so what's your point?

I will keep arguing this, there's no phenomena that's unnatural in a natural world, every phenomena are natural whether positive, negative, explained, un-explained, known and unknown.

There's no absolute normality, it's intersubjective.

No one is saying that you must bring gays to your house or teach your children to be gay.

What the secular society is saying is that you should mind your business. You don't have to support gays but you must not antagonize them for their way of life.

Live and let live. If Islam is against gay rights, so be it. But you cannot use Islam to discriminate against gays. Keep your religion to yourself, your family and the Ummah. You have no right to force your beliefs on gays and non muslims. Just as gays an non muslims cannot force things on you

Yep, those sociopaths and psychopathic serial killers are actually normal, since killing is natural, animals do kill too, and humans have been killing each other since time immemorial, let's just accept them for who they are, they were born like that, we should love them...Oh they cause harm to others?!

It's part of human nature to kill, hunts etc We as intelligent being needs to regulate our behaviors, it doesn't change the nature of things.

Because killing is natural doesn't mean we should accept it, there's difference between nature and moral laws. Nature is nature, moral laws are human construct.

It doesn't matter if there are whole of mad people or not, the point is people come together and establish what's normal in a society, if you come from another society and behave differently, your behavior would be seen as not normal.

So somehow, normal is an illusion.
