Human Rights v. Majority Rule

Test your attitude toward human rights legislation by examining your views on the issue which began in Miami several years ago and then rapidly spread across the nation: the attempt to legally abolish in public employment discrimination based on sexual preference (hetro/homo). Members of the gay community have decided in increasing numbers to no longer consciously hide their sexual inclinations; it is now entirely possible that a person’s homosexual preference could be public knowledge without that person ever having behaved in any way inappropriately or improperly. Communities may then argue that they do not want such a role model teaching elementary school and influencing their children. We live in a society concerned both about human rights and about the will of the majority. What happens when these concerns clash? Examine your views relative to your moral, social, and/or political philosophy.
