This thread was inspired by @PrinceGanaku. He made a legal argument pushing back against the legalization of homophobia, which some like @konkrumah have happily advocated.
I come from an academic background in social and political philosophy. I wanna make a moral argument 1/x.
The attraction btwn man and woman is thought to have been reduced to a material cause in our being so what about gays?
I would encourage anyone to seek this: "what is the cause of heterosexual attraction" and I would confidently tell you that the science is inconclusive
We don't know
We know HOW it happens. That is to say we can explain observable phenomena like hormones and receptors moving but we don't know WHY men like women.
We know why we procreate, for eg. But we can't confuse that with attraction
Heterosexual attraction cannot be answered with the sciences of procreation and sexual release. They are inadequate
There are different religious oppositions but usually they operate under the notion of Divine Command
"Our God says..."
Religious conservatives believe we cannot have morality if we have no idea of a god. False.
Morality is acquired in socialization before the young have a concept of a being out of this world.
That is to say if they are never introduced to this God-concept, it's sensible to argue that it WILL NOT NECESSARILY AFFECT THEIR MORAL PERFORMANCE.
Thus, if the argument is that our humanity and morality begin from beyond us, we are neglecting the importance of human-to-human relationships
Saying that "that's not how God created us" is fairly problematic
How do you know that's not how God created us? How are you more willing to hold on to an out-of-this world claim than respect the reality of another human in this world?
My point about morality has been made.
We lie when we say we can't think of humans doing good without a knowledge of a god.
We know humans before we know a concept out of this world. Respect your primary contact before you move to the man upstairs
What do we mean when we say the majority must have their way in democracy? It means that there's an intrinsic value to pleasing the majority
In that case, authority in a democracy is expected to make a moral choice
Having dealt with the first two opposition arguments, I believe @PrinceGanaku's legal arguments answer the moral question in the majoritarian problem
To destroy the humanity of those who cause you no harm, don't rope in a god or morality. You just seek to do harm.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.
https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.

...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.

Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
