Lively's Argument Against Homosexuality

Improved Essays
Since intenational law trumps domestic ideas the courts would obviously decline a motion to dismiss under statutes of constitutional right. This is shown through the Kiobel case where liability lands in the scope of international law. I see the reason for Lively’s motion to dismiss, because of the American ideas of freedom of speech and religion. As a united State citizen, Lively has a basic right under first amendment due to engaging in not violent political speech anywhere in the world. The court describes that “The freedoms of speech, press, religion, and assembly, and the right not to be subject to an establishment of religion, are protected against infringement in the exercise of foreign relations power as in domestic affairs”(). In addition, Lively has a own religion, but …show more content…
Shokingly egregious violation include such as genocide, slavery, and murder. However, SMUG claimed sharing Livel’s “opinion” toward homosexual people, which is protected by the first amendament as a core political speech are evil. Thus, Lively’s political speech cannot apply to the “crime against humanity”. SMUG may againsy Lively’s opinions on homosexuality conduct, and SMUD recognized this opinion offensive. However, SMUG has no right to invole the jurisdiction against it because SMUG was offended by Lively’s advocacy and speech. It is not under the form of against humanity. So, I would rule in favor of Lively’s motion to dismiss. Thirdly, there is no way to endorses of any violence that may have been enacted against anyone. He has convicted because of the killing of David Kato and people have provoked others to imminent violence. Although he has disapproved, with strong words, people who push for the standardization of homosexual conduct, Lively has never provoked others to violence, and SMUG simply does not allege otherwise. As a result, this case is not persecution lively, who SMUG claim to have done just for

Mackie goes on by saying that moral objectively requires two things, one being intrinsic reason giving-power and the capability to categorically motivate us to act.

    Susie O’Brien a journalist who divides her time between many publishers, including The Herald Sun and The Advertisers where she produces think-pieces and modern arguments covering politics, social culture, and sports. In late 2010 O’Brien launched an article titled ‘It’s time to honor gay couples and allow them to marry’ (The Advertiser, September 20, 2010, p. 27) in which O’Brien structures a relaxed argument to appeal to her readers reason (logos) and emotion (pathos). Despite some jarring use of some contractions O’Brien starts strong with a tone of authority (ethos) by stating ‘I didn’t ever choose to be straight.’ In doing this she constructs a bridge uniting herself to the gay community by identifying her sexual orientation as a trait…

    James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room is a rebellious book that tells the story of a controversial love between two men, David and Giovanni, in the romantic city of Paris. In Giovanni's Room, David searches for his identity through his homosexuality, his masculinity, and his feeling of exile as he experiences new loves and loves lost. This is significant because Giovanni's Room was a novel far before it's time due to its narrative of a man scrutinizing his identity as a homosexual in a time where homosexuality was contempt. This is proven by David’s hunger for a heteronormative relationship, his feeling of helplessness in his decisions, and his lack of a “sense of belonging”. David is searching for his identity through his homosexuality.…

    For those that are actively working to make positive changes in the lives of women across a number of spheres, whether developing nations, national labor policies or reproductive rights, questioning the “stop violence against women” mantra results in a heated debate and a recitation of the facts, which are startling and terrible- about the conditions under which many women are forced to live. This emotional attachment prevents the greater understanding of how the problem of the threat of violence is one that is shared among other groups. For lesbians, the intersection of gender and sexual orientation is one that can result in feeling discriminated against or even threatened, but we can also assume that this is true of homosexual men as well. As an issue it continues to intersect with gender…

    Serrano-Serra’s actions were tangential, without any culpable knowledge, and bolstered by his redemptive act and do not, therefore, bar him. Furthermore, the persecutor bar should not apply to Serrano-Serra because the accurate interpretation of the persecutor bar includes an exception for duress, requiring those barred to possess personal culpability in their actions. I. Serrano-Serra neither assisted persecution nor had sufficient knowledge of it occurring because his actions, when viewed as a whole and accounting for his redemptive behavior, were tangential, inconsequential, and lacked any culpability.…

    Theorists like Micheal Foucault and Judith Butler have provided great insight on various topics and critiquing what does not get questioned. Foucault has inspired Butler when it comes to the topics of gender and sex. Butler challenges the ideas that have been inculcated in our own culture by exposing the truth behind what is considered normal and critiquing the binaries in society. Queer theory is important to address because of the lack of knowledge our society has on queerness. Butler’s ideas on queerness and gender will not only empower others, but it will help social workers in their practice.…
