Excellent retort, sir.

Rights are personal freedoms that apply independently of majority/minority status. Majority rule applies to driving the bus of society, not to what each person does in their seat. Personal rights end at the boundary between persons.

What minority right is opposing the will of the majority?

Or how can equal individual rights for all create opposition for a majority, a majority of what, other individuals who feel individual rights are exclusive only to a majority?

LGBT rights. In France 1 million protested against gays marriages, while 50 thousands LGBT members pro. In the end the law was passed.

Hollande signed the bill in May 2013. 150,000 protested instead of 1 million as claimed. Whether or not a similar number of Gay marriage supporters took to the streets does not mean they are a minority. Indeed, various polls show the majority of French supported Gay marriage in 2013 and a majority still supports it.

Thanks for the civil reply.

I think you missed my point. How can LGBT equality cause opposition in the first place?

So you sincerely believe that the U. S. states who were strongly opposed to equal rights for African Americans, should have been allowed to continue to deny equal rights to citizens of this nation based on skin color?

Why does political and economic equality for all, require approval or acceptance by a majority. I am sorry I don't get that.

No one is saying you have to like it or be happy about it only to allow political and economic equality for all. That includes when you open a business, discrimination based on personal beliefs is not allowed. That is why those infamous literacy tests that were written to be unpassable and poll taxes are against the law.

I wonder at your view because it has happened before that what was once the majority becomes shattered into a few minorities, those new minorities can now be subjected to the discrimination by whomever is the new majority.

Example: I think the U.S. is still majority Christian or Christian agnostic some conservative Christians want religious based laws and practices in public tax funded areas, schools, political life, employment practices, but never

pause to consider that allowing religious based laws from one religion allows religious based laws from any other religion, something many of our conservative states were surprised to learn was that if they allowed tax vouchers for Christian Schools they must also allow tax vouchers for Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Hindu, etc, schools.

*typos

Oh you believe that LGBT is about choice? Research says no and that is why some states have made programs that promise to make LGBT people heterosexual against the law, sometimes called gay conversion therapy.

I am no expert on that particular issue, are you?

Is that all that LGBT equality represents to you?

lol yourself, I answered honestly, I am not educated on transgendered people. Are you an expert?

No I have a problem with your dismissal of my honest reply.

You mean the will of the minority, not the rights. This is why we have rights and priveleges. Rights should always be respected. Priveleges are negotiable, and are therefore often determined by the majority (of the voters, not the actual population)

Then you are incredibly ignorant and oppresive.

I don't think you understand. You're a selfish, insecure, ignorant asshat who doesn't know the first thing about how our political system works or how it should work. This conversation makes me laugh, not cry. Please, continue.

I mean, yeah? I like dick and pussy. Got a problem?

Your opinion. But, of course, we have come to the conclusion that your opinion is rather worthless. You truly are drawn from the dregs of the internet. You have no empathy, no sense of patriotism, no grasp of political history, and not even the slightest idea that there might be other people out there who need help. You're not really a person, to be honest. It's a little depressing... eh, I'm done.
