And after playing this long, tiring game, you relinquish that point immediately. So why have we had to go down this distasteful line at all?
You are arguing that people shouldnt be discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation, correct?
If that is what you are arguing, then pedophilia also falls within that category, but you dont seem to extend protection to them. So, either your argument is not on the basis of sexual orientation, or else there is some other criteria that you are not citing that you include in your argument.
This does NOT mean that anyone thinks pedophiles and LGBT are the same ( whatever that means). You are the one claiming sexual orientation is a protected category. Does this mean all sexual orientations? If not, why not?
By discrimination, I am talking about being sacked, refused service, refused employment, and so on. Disallowing pedophiles from working with children is not discrimination, in the same way that if a gay person had committed a bank robbery, they would then not be employed by financial institutions, and that wouldnt be discrimination.
