Why must they always shove this Gay Rights crap down our throats?
We get it your gay just live your life away from mines.........ok

This. There are a lot more important issues people should be paying attention to

This is just the typical excuse of people who want no social change. This is and easily fixable issue that in no way impedes the handling of other issues.

There should be no social changes in the west when it comes to the rights of minorities, and by rights, I mean actual rights. Minorities in the west have so much more freedom and privileges over the actual citizens that is getting insane. How about people focusing on the rights of minorities in non-western countries, instead of being so focused on destroying European social structure from inside out? But I think you would like that to happen. How about focusing on how ''white christian americans/europeans'' (aka the evil oppressors of innocent minorities) are treated in foreign countries? Thats not important, because they are not important and are evil intolerant bigots, right sapphi?

They are. What do you think this initiative is?

And I don't think there are any 'white christian americans/europeans' living in any non-western countries.

I wasn't talking about this case specifically, and since this is about gay rights, i would like to know what exactly they mean by ''rights''. Marriage, for one thing, isn't one.

China, Japan, Australia, Thailand and South Africa, just to name single few major ones

1. Marriage is a right.

2. In Africa gay people are regularly lynched on the street, and homosexuality is criminalized.

Also, Europeans make up the majority of Australia's population. They are not a minority there. Europans aren't a minority in any of the other countries you've mentioned except South Africa (and christians aren't persecuted over there, considering that the majority of the population is christian).

The funny thing is that all the countries you mentioned have 1 thing in common regarding Europeans and christians: both these categories tried to oppress the natives and destroy their cultures during the colonial period (and even recent). Christians are responsable for one of China's bloodiest massacred, in which millions were killed. It's because of their action that China today monitors so stricly the behaviour of religious sects. European christians also tried to invade Japan and destory their culture using their colonialist tactics, and if the Japanese hadn't kicked them out there would be no Japan today. And don't get me started on the apartheid that ended less than 2 decades ago in South Africa. I see nothing wrong with the way these groups (whites and christians) are treated in any of the countries you've mentioned.
