  1. Gays can't get legally married so such a position is comically absurd. Listen up gays, sit on your hands most of your adult life until same sex marriage is legalized when you're too old to even get an erection anymore.

  2. It’s funny because it’s true. The case that involved decriminalizing gay sex in the US literally involved cops busting in the bedroom door to two gays having sex. Lawrence v Texas.

  3.  @julioduan7130  That only applies if you are afraid of being considered gay. Seems to me China's homophobia is killing China's own traditions.

  4. Most people who have HIV per capita are heterosexuals in Africa. If you’re interested in making law by HIV transmission risk, heterosexuals are a higher risk vector than lesbians. Let’s make heterosexual sex illegal then. You can see the absurdity of such policy.

  5. Right. Just sit around and wait for 40 years for same sex to be legalized before ever having sex and you die of old age in the meantime.

  6. On May 17, 2004, Massachusetts became the first U.S. state and the sixth jurisdiction in the world to legalize same-sex marriage. It was a decades long civil rights fight to make that happen costing millions of man hours and many millions of dollars. At that time anyone in the US could have driven to MA to get married.

  7. Same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland will be legally recognised by 13 January 2020.

  8.  @Afternoonsun-c9y  You're summarizing hundreds of undeclared individual laws in hundreds of jurisdictions and deeming them all fair. Any law, and there are many across the middle east that singles out LGBT people with fines, imprisonment and death is barbaric. The reality is that if LGBT couples are held to a different standard than heterosexuals are than any law is, ipso facto, not fair. This is not about public sex. This is about not committing a crime against the state by being in a relationship with someone you love. It's almost 2020. It's time to welcome our LGBT brothers and sisters to an equal place in society.

  9. The history of cultural interaction is the history of tradition destruction. It’s been that way throughout recorded history.

  10. Absolutely.

  11. No gay sex is good? That’s your plan for integrating LGBT people into society? Die loveless virgins, y’all.

  12. Speaking as a gay tourist, would surely elevate Singapore on my travel list.

  13. No health care organization that studies HIV transmission risk thinks that criminalizing gay sex has any prevention efficacy. Gay sex has been increasingly decriminalized in North America, South America, Europe, and most of Asia simultaneously while new annual HIV cases has dropped every year for the last 23 years.

  14. Nothing immoral or liberal about the existence of LGBT people.

  15.  @blueraineee  Doesn't matter. I'm not interested in supporting countries with my tax dollars that relegate their LGBT citizens to second class citizenship.

  16.  Talûn-karkû The Warchief  Obviously so. That's exactly what I meant.

  17.  @Afternoonsun-c9y  It's that lack of relationship recognition that is the problem. LGBT Muslims need a way to integrate into society and live authentic lives. Singling them out for special punishment and denying legal equality for their relationships is not the way that comes into being.

  18.  @Stanbily  Look up Lawrence v. Texas. It's actually a very interesting case. Basically two gay guys were having sex and another gay guy who liked one of them was jealous so that other gay guy swatted them and called in a false police report of a crazy guy with a gun in that apartment. The cops broke in and then arrested the two for having sex (which was then a crime). Went all the way to the supreme court and this legalized gay sex nationwide in the US forevermore. Boom!

  19.  @DarkPa1adin  Gays get legally married every day in dozens of countries around the world.

  20.  @starshine9836  Criminalizing gay sex is categorically unjust to LGBT citizens nor is it an effective health care policy measure, which is why it's been decriminalized in North America, South America, Europe, and most of Asia. Use all the personal anecdotes and empty aphorisms you wish to try to justify your second class treatment of LGBT citizens, but no one reading this is going to believe your intentions here. HIV prevention healthcare methodologies are very easy to look up. They've been studied for decades by health care organizations around the world. They all involve more testing, better ARV treatment and PreP for at risk communities not unenforceable bans on gay people having consensual sex they're going to have behind closed doors anyway.

  21.    Colonialism certainly didn’t have a monopoly on homophobia. It certainly was homophobic but there always has been plenty of home grown homophobia as well, to a greater or lesser degree in various cultures. It is a lot easier to blame the west then look in the mirror, however. LGBT Asians deserve full equality under the law for their relationships.

  22.    Illegality and frequency isn’t the bar for homophobia, of course. No human society has ever been completely free of homophobia even among those where acceptance is high.

  23. What are you talking about? No laws against same-sex sexual activity has ever existed in the Philippines.

  24. Criminalizing or decriminalizing gay sex has no impact on HIV transmission rates, as any cursory read of LGBT history will inform you. If you want to prevent HIV apply funding to wide scale pre exposure prophylaxis deployment in your health care system. It's scientifically proven to work.
