Catholic University hosts transgender and drag queen book display for children

[Belk]

If you think it's wrong to expose kids to adult themed situations a prejudice, then you got that right.

Right. In other words it is not morality per se but your objection to homosexuals.

I live by my morals and values. I don't concern myself with other people's sinful ways unless they infringe on other people's safety like assault, rape, murder, and theft etc. People's personal sexual or gender proclivities have no effect on my life. We are to be our brother's keeper but everyone does not share my religion. For those who don't share my religious beliefs, they are free to do what is legal. Homosexuality and transgenderism is a victimless crime. I would prefer to stop people who commit crime that has a victim.

There's a growing number of ex gender confused people sueing their doctors. It's not victimless. You choose to ignore the victims.

Maybe if you say that enough times, you can believe it's true.

 

[OceanView]

Children can be and often are LGBTQA+ members or allies.

No one is transgender.

Well said.

Imma side with science on this one, my dude.

I don't need repetition to see how Christians have focused on homosexuality and try to malign a support group for an orientation as "adult themed situations".

I mean...people may truly believe they are the opposite gender and get all the surgery and hormones they want...but their chromosomes never change.

Maybe that's what he actually meant? I don't know?

Simply put, it's very IN now and in your face, some Christians get hyper vigilant about it, and that's their right. Freedom of speech and association et al.

I know some people won't like that answer, but it's just how some people act.

I don't know.

Again, still going to go with science on this one.

Ok. Fair enough.

Not sure I agree with it being "in your face". They are free to talk about it and I am free to point out their hyperventilating.

Well? It depends on the person, I suppose. I'm just rambling now.

My view is more scientific and compassionate than yours.

Your compelling and well-researched reply not withstanding, I’m still going to go with the actual science and research.

What an odd response.

It is not the sex that is illegal, it is the payment.

? The prostitute does not make payment. Do some research. The prostitute and her "john" are both engaging in a criminal act in most states.

No, minors are unable to give consent.

It appears you missed the "adult" modifier in the post. Try again.

That all being said, I don’t think prostitution should be illegal as long as everybody is probably consenting and not trafficked.

No surprise in that opinion. But to the point being debated, if the act is consensual and no one is harmed, then why is it illegal?

That is a scenario where consent can’t be given legally. They, like two minors, may consent verbally, but legally they cannot.

Like Belk, it appears you missed the "adult" modifier in the post. Try again.

 

[Tropical Wilds]

Pretty sure I answered that… We don’t have any systems in place to ensure standardized care, protections, and standards. Until we do, it can’t be legal.

Like Belk, it appears you missed the "adult" modifier in the post. Try again.

No, I didn’t miss it. Neither did Belk. Adult or not adult, it is not something that one can legally consent to, so with that being defined as something one can never consent to legally, consent is absent.

 

[BCP1928]

But to the point being debated, if the act is consensual and no one is harmed, then why is it illegal?

Because the people who wrote and passed the law against it thought it should be. What part of that is hard to understand?
