SB 118-48: Homophobic Sanctions Act - Tabled

[LAKISYLVANIA]

I won't support this, straining relations with one third of the world simply because of a difference in (a grand scale of things) minor issue, isn't the smartest move. Most of these countries have bigger things to worry about, and bigger challenges to overcome.

I believe homosexuality is really way up in Maslow's hierarchy of needs



Sanctioning so many African nations obviously isn't going to help in particular the African people, and will only increase support for homophobic governments in those countries.

It's also wrong for a "western country" to once again dictate how a different country should govern its country, while a more humble position following their often violent and humiliating approach in their colonial past would be more appropriate.

You're pushing those people in the hands of dictators, and pushing these countries into the pockets of Atlasia's worst enemies, simply because of a disagreement on one issue.

Those countries aren't ready yet for these laws yet. Let progress do its thing over the years and the decades. We were in the not so distant past also homophobic for the most part.
