Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.

    I understand the world is cruel and harsh, and so I understand why there needs to be an LGBTQ community, but there -shouldn’t- be one.

    By the same argument, there shouldn’t be a straight community, with institutions and laws and religion that assume it to be the default, the tabula rasa of humanity.

    Really, you’re just arguing against the fact we exist within a historical context. You can try and cut it away - except! Oops! In doing so, you just added yet more history to the pile!

      Well I’m not really arguing against anything, the question was what moral do I hold that I don’t think most people agree with.

      By the same argument, there shouldn’t be a straight community

      Yes, that’s basically what I said. I would prefer we live in a world where sexual orientation is no more prevalent a feature to define someone than their hair color. I wish there didn’t need to be laws for or against gay marriage, or rights for specific types of people over others. But this is reality and not a hopeful fantasy, so again I understand the the need for the LGBTQ community, and laws to protect and represent the people part of it. But at the same time, I personally don’t think anyone should be celebrated (or mocked) for being part of it.

        I get what you’re saying, but reducing it down to a thing we have because we need it is… overly clinical? Not particularly hopeful, anyway. Even if sexuality didn’t have the historical baggage that it does, I think things would still trend towards a community. People form a sense of shared identity over things. It’s what people do.
