I disagree. That seems more something of interest to only gays.


Right. (Or people with human decency that don't support executions for consensual activity, or even suspicion of such.....)

Not what I said at all. I put a link to an article that warns about countries with dangerous laws ...

But, I think we do have the authority to tell others how to behave. Western countries need to push morality onto other countries.
Or do you think Trump should not be pushing in African countries to decriminalize homosexuality?


Even your hero agrees:
"Let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals. My Administration has launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality and invites all nations to join us in this effort!" -DJT

No, I do not think we should be pushing that. Not under Obama and not under Trump.

So we should let backward cultures continue?

Or should we take the lead of formation and set the example?

I have no problem praising Trump when he gets it right, like he does on LGBT rights in African countries.

Leading by example is one thing. Punishing to push your agenda is another. Who says they are the ones who are "backward?" I thought liberals said to say other cultures are backwards is "racist?"

Think of it as diversity.

That sounds pretty close to what the Europeans said when they colonized North America and the most of the world.

European colonization was empirically a good thing.

I have to wonder how you would feel if Arab oil countries pulled their investments in the USA until we passed anti sodomy laws because they wanted us to see the light on unhealthy behaviors.
