Gay movement: The History of Gay Rights (1)

The whole modern conception of gay rights is not merely a product of creativity, but is also a political agenda that attempts to change the moral rules. In our postmodern world, the morality is regarded as idea, if morality even exists. The belief that homosexuality is wrong, is based on the concept of Natural Order - that men and women were made to marry each other, followed by reproduction exclusively within marriage. This concept is now a foreign one in the postmodern Western society.

The homosexual movement sought not only to purport that homosexuality is not immoral, but that homosexuality is moral on the grounds of equality whatever equality might mean.

It is important to understand that equality means equal treatment of people equal in status in the relevant matter. Thus, it follows that persons or groups of unequal status should be treated differently to ensure equality.

I will explore the issues underlying the concept of gay marriage in the next few posts.
