@gavra – “That being said, I otherwise agree, and I don’t think we should legislate the issue (for the reasons you mention), but work to bring awareness of the damage it causes.”
Indeed, that is fine. We’re allowed to voice our opinion. Of course it is wrong, according to us. I’m not saying I do not find the idea abhorrent. I personally most certainly do and we should be allowed to say that.
But we should not try to force anyone. I believe that if I want others to respect me, then I must also respect them. And as long as what they do isn’t against the law and as long as they don’t do it in public, I see no reason why I should care. It’s other people’s private business.
Just like we don’t care what religion others practice, we shouldn’t care what else they practice. Let them do whatever they want and let us just focus on improving themselves.
