These topics become a debate because some people cannot accept that others can live and thrive outside of their belief systems without consequence, fear of their belief being undermined and the uncertainty that might bring leads them to force 'consequences' on those people to satisfy their need for control and order (as they know it).
Everyone, every culture, every demographic, every identity, has the same inherent rights to participate in the world we're all born into. It feels inhumane and inappropriate for a group or individual to claim their convictions are superior over others. I don't agree with varied groups and philosophies, but I can respect their difference, and uphold their human and social rights without demanding they live by my principles or denying them something like a family or opportunity I feel entitled too.
