No it isn't.

Yes it does.

No one deserves special rights that are protected under the auspices 
of the name human rights.

Flop

Human rights are rights that people have by merit of being human.  They
stem from humanity's God given dignity and nothing else.  God does not
want people to engage in homosexual sex acts.  These acts violate the
body which is a temple of the Holy Spirit.  It does matter if you are
gay because some gays want special rights.  A special definition of
marriage that recognizes same sex couples.  A special allowance for
inappropriate same sex sex acts.  A special and exclusive right to
define one's gender based on one's feelings instead of reality even
if that violates other people's comfort zone.  Sam Adams wants to be
forgiven for encouraging a much younger man to engage in an
inappropriate and unholy sexual relationship with him.

When human rights are arbitrarily expanded upon for whatever "rights"
people want, these "rights" are an absurdity.  I want the right from God
to kill politically active homosexuals, but I'm not going to get it.  I 
want the right to kill: Obama, Biden, Hillary, Kulongoski, and
Merkley, but God isn't going to give me that right.  Despite their
immorality, they can repent of their evil ways at any time and God
in his infinite mercy gives them every chance.  They might go to hell
for the legislation they sign and the actions they take. Unfortunately,
they have the opportunity to cause a tremendous amount of harm and lead
others into error as long as their alive.  I hate that their is a center
at Portland State that treats all sexual orientations as normal leading
many people into moral error.  I wish I had the power to eradicate the
center, but I don't.  What PSU needs is a gay/bisexual/transsexual but
celibate center instead.  More sexually deviant individuals, of which
there are not many overall, need treatment.  Homosexuals/bisexuals/and
transgender individuals should live by the rules of society and not be
granted special privileges.
