While I understand that this resolution has no chance of advancing, I certainly would appreciate support of it.

Also, I want to make sure I say this at this point...the resolution was tongue-in-cheek. While I do support homosexuality in every way, I have nothing against heterosexuals or heterosexuality.

Thank you for your consideration,

Prime Minister of Croucher-Dieker

of course, the following is the resolution text:

Considering the Above highlighted resolutions i recon we have it covered.

Pursuant to your starting of this thread may I highlight the following.....

Considering the Above highlighted resolutions i recon we have it covered.

I second that motion.

All those in favor signify by says I!

I would encourage the honorable delegates from Venerable Libertarians and Shazbotdam to reread to proposal. It is most certainly not redundant. Though it is in contradition of UNR 7.

Nicely written and a great gag Croucher. Too bad I can't support it...(see resolution 7, that's my stance)

Well ok then! lets take a point by point look at this......

THIS RESOLUTION serves to promote understanding and acceptance of an important minority group. As do the Existing Resolutions i have mentioned.

WE HOLD IN CONTENTION that homosexuals and homosexual acts are currently inappropriately regarded as immoral, disgusting, and opposed to the general good of society and that this situation should be resolved in any way possible. However the quoted resolutions make it impossible for any UN Nation to harrass a person for being Gay. No Matter where you are from you are entitled to your opinion, no matter how ignorant.

SO, WHEREAS homosexuality is currently looking upon negatively in many parts of the world and

WHEREAS discrimination against homosexuals is a crime against humanity and

WHEREAS it is common knowledge the more often a person comes in contact with something, the more comfortable that person becomes with it and

WHEREAS as long as safe-sex guidelines are followed, same-sex acts poses no risk to those who engage in it and

WHEREAS same-sex contact provides pleasure for those who engage in it therefore be it So whereas too many whereases can be used in a proposal and would be better merged into one paragraph and whereas this proposal is all statement rather than actually proposing anything.......

RESOLVED that all persons between the ages of 18 and 25 will be required to engage in same-sex contact for at least a portion of those years and be it further At Last! something actually being proposed which unfortunately is counteracting on my freedom of choice or rather the freedom not to engage in homosexual activity. This is no better than reverse nazism!

RESOLVED that such homosexual contact be promoted and encouraged by all levels of government with tax incentives and rebates.erm! i dont think so. In the same way as i do not offer tax breaks if you are openly Straight... "Hey buddy! are you straight? here have a tax break!"

In summary, I am not Anti gay. I support gay marriage and relationships in my Nation as much as I support Straight. What you are proposing is just not cricket!:D

of course, the following is the resolution text:

THIS RESOLUTION serves to promote understanding and acceptance of an important minority group..


What makes this group any move important than any other group? Also who says this is a minority group? As just why are they considered such and by who.

With 2/3 of the nations outside the UN we inside the UN don't need another one covering the same thing for this so called 'important minority group'...

We feel this is a separate issue for each nation to deal with based on the desires of it's citizens not the UN. So each to their own in this matter as we already have enough to cover it in place...... Thus many of those noted need to be repealed so that nations can serve their people not the UN.

Forcing hetrosexuals to be homosexual is just as disgustingly wrong as forcing homosexuals to be hetrosexuals.

Think of the misery in times past when homosexuals were forced by society to act as hetrosexuals and go against everything they knew themselves to be. Why would you want to inflict that on hetrosexuals as well?

Each person knows within themselves which sex they are attracted to and should be left alone to live their lives as they wish to, with whoever they wish to. A persons sexuality is nobody elses business.

This is rediculous. My proposals are thrown away, tossed aside, and completely looked over. Where as proposals that have nothing to do with anything remotly important are left to gain support? Even the name of the proposal is rediculous, "Require Homosexuality". REQUIRE? I have nothing against homosexuals, I am not racist or sexist. The people that make me mad are people who expect special treatment for something so trivial. My position on marriage is as follows: there should be NO marriage. There should only be civil unions. Two people of any sex, race, age (within reason) should be allowed to be united under the law. This proposal however, is a perfect example of people trying to acheive special treatment for something that shouldn't be rewarded or punished. It shouldn't matter weather or not someone is gay, straight, black, white, asian, hispanic. The point is, by giving some groups of people special treatment over others, you start the whole circle of predjudice all over again.

please folks..no need to be overly dramatic...


additionally....the resolution certainly isn't redundant...i think it does things that have nothing to do with anything else we've passed.

oh, also...attacting the structuring isn't needed....proper resolution structure would demand that many "whereas's", but like i said..it isn't a big deal

j

What category is it under? 'Cause if it's Human Rights, it'll go pretty quickly. Forcing someone to commit sexual acts can not be considered supporting Human Rights, regardless of the reasoning.

But no house of cards violations, so I say it is worth supporting :}

(ooc - I know, sarcasm does not become me)

(ooc - but I am so good at it)

Emphasis added:
Grossly Offensive

If you want to execute left-handed men named "Earl" in your country, that's fine. Don't go yammering about it in a Proposal. Yes, this includes screwing with a 'majority' group. Killing all whites is just as bad as killing all jews. Or blacks. Or poor people. Things such as eliminating "all rights for $group", forced deportation of said group and the like fall under this too.Mandating discrimination against a majority group (straights, in this case) is just as illegal as mandating discrimination against a minority group. Furthermore, this Proposal violations previous Resolutions that protect the sexual freedom of all members of the UN.

Undeniably illegal.

Not to wade hip-deep in to an arguement I really don't care about, but where does it discriminate against hetrosexuals? It doesn't say you can't have hetro contact during those years. Infact it doesn't say anything about hetrosexuality at all.

where does it discriminate against hetrosexuals? It doesn't say you can't have hetro contact during those years. Infact it doesn't say anything about hetrosexuality at all.Really?

RESOLVED that all persons between the ages of 18 and 25 will be required to engage in same-sex contact for at least a portion of those years Forcing heterosexuals to engage in homosexual activity isn't discriminatory?

Nevermind the fact that it forces people to have sex who might not want to do so regardless of what sex it's with.

Right... I would just call that wrong - the discrimination part never occurred to me :}

I'm sure once we get that "All homosexuals are forced to engage in Heterosexual activity" Resolution passed, it would not be discrimintory either...

Ok - I get it :}

My entire concept of International Federalism at a level of rights is the citizen has the right to do anything, as long as he does not infringe upon the rights of others. My concept does not extend to the point where one MUST do something.

This resolution is no better than those that think gay people should be "straightened" by forcing them to have sex with a woman - and you don't see many of those around.

Really?

Forcing heterosexuals to engage in homosexual activity isn't discriminatory?

I would actually not call that discriminatory.....at least against anything.

I would call it abhorent, unjust, ridiculous, ludicrous, biased, etc because it forces you to have sex and it is specific on the form of sex, but that doesn't mean its discriminatory. It doesn't persecute heterosexuals.

Heck, I wonder if its allowed to sub bi-sexual relations for homosexual ones, then a LOT of guys might be interested ;)

I am sorry if i offend but as Emperor of the holy empire of phenixica i cannot support this and neither can my government i do not mean to offend 2 of my brothers are gay but i cannot except for we are a christian Empire and cannot excpet this proclaimation and if this does have a chance in the U.N i will vote againts it.

Please dont take this into offence

From:Emperor Belcameron Cook II of the phenixican Nation and Colonies.

The people of Cluichstan fail to understand why we are wasting the UN's time with this matter. The proposal is ludicrous and, as its author already stated, was put forth with tongue in cheek.
