    I then end though, I think we can all agree that former Canadian Prime Minster Pierre Trudeau said he best when he said, "We take the position that there is no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation."

    Here all schools are subject to it as the government always has it's hand in the funding. In New Brunswick there are no private schools period due to our constitution.

    In my ideal world, that extends past the bedroom, into the realm of intimate affairs in general. Drugs, marriage, prostitution, abortion. Regulation, indeed, but enforcing hard line policies on a man's relationships and body? No thanks.

    Executive Order 13087 says otherwise.

    By law or organization? As I recall the blood drives that we always had at my high school didn't ask about your sexual orientation, only if you had recently had sexual contact with someone.

    All states allow homosexuals to adopt. Homosexual couples may find it more difficult because of the legal status of that relationship, sure, but it's not because they're homosexual, it's because they're not married.

    As you said, it's a private institutions.

    The same goes for heterosexuals. If your living arrangements are contingent on maintaining some kind of community standard, then it makes sense that the community would punish you for violating it. That said, not a whole hell of a lot of people live in such circumstances.

    Again, private organization.

    Yes, it is.

    I would like to point that even still same sex couples can not go to the Equal Employment Opportunity commission for claims of sexual discrimination, In 2005 the Human rights campaign organization issues that the the head of the office of special counsel, Scott bloch, refuses to enforce these longstanding non-discrimination protections.

    http://employment.findlaw.com/emplo...ment-employee-gay-lesbian-discrimination.html

    13087 granted no new rights but was a step in the right direction (good on finding this)

    The FDA banned it in 1985, and as still yet to let go of it.

    http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/190005.php

    Ah yes the entire marriage issue, its why i support getting rid of it entirely.

    Anyways here you go http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_pare6.htm and http://www.ranker.com/pics/N1000060316/still-can_t-adopt-in-some-states-u3

    Still very hypocritical, but yes it private so they have all right. but it is something they can't do but its not a fundamental right.

    That is extremely biased to Homosexual couples, not to mention that most courts will not take the case of the Homosexual for getting kicked out. I'm just saying throwing someone out of a community only because of there sexual outlook is just wrong.

    According to a survey conducted by the task force, they have found that out of 6,000 trans-genders 11 percent have been evicted because of their gender identity and 19 percent have become homeless because of this.

    Fair housing acts have no laws to protect LGBT homeowners


    http://www.rent-direct.com/blog/201...ion-against-gay-and-transgendered-in-housing/


    I allways thought they had some government funding, i retract my statement and only say that its the private sector.

    Sadly in the federal level i have to agree (except blood and housing) but in the private market well that's just privates and they have the right to. However saying Homosexual and Heterosexuals are equal is going to get you so much hate.

    But not in the US. The problem we have faced for most of this thread is that we are attempting to cross pollinate different cultural values and the laws of different states into one argument.

    I believe it is a state thing. We just had a blood drive that I attempted to be in, and there was a question that had to do with homosexual intercourse.

    Yes. It makes no sense that I cannot send my kid to say a private religious school, or to a better, private school. And keep in mind, for a lot of people in these schools they actually do have middle class jobs, they simply make large sacrifices, such as no vacations or less luxurious foods, in order to send their kids to the better school.

    Yes there is a reason, so no kid gets a better kid due to the better foresight of ones parents then another.

    Only way to guarantee equality is to drag everyone down to the floor...

    I experienced the wonders of 'equality of result' educational policy first-hand. You know what's a great idea? Cut funding to the gifted students program and divert it to the special education program. No better way to secure the future than to ensure that retarded people can hold down jobs at McDonald's.

    You're being totally biased and you know that damn well...
    If the public education in the US got better funding you could pay for both "gifted" and "speciel" programs.
    You don't need total equality(not that it could even be achieved) but you could at least give everyone the chance of a good education.

    Public schools provide that. If there is any failure to learn, it's on the part of the students for being lazy and incompetent. Offering the choice to send your kids to private school is one that carries no negative consequence so long as the private school is accredited.
