Ironic Decency
Isn't it ironic how some people will justify their immoral choices by applying labels to themselves having to do with freedom, privacy, prejudice, or decency?This week George Takei came out of the closet and admitted that he is gay. "The world has changed from when I was a young teen feeling ashamed for being gay," he said. Yeah... back when he actually must have had moral convictions of some kind.
Now he says that prejudice against gays is "against basic decency and what American values stand for." It's awful ironic that he uses the "decency" label when it's not even fitting. His statement says that his lifestyle and everyone's appreciation of it IS "basic decency," which is blatantly untrue.
It's a sad day when "basic decency and American values" mean encouraging homosexuality.
