"I quote our diocesan resolution: 'Whereas this Convention,without making any judgment on the morality of homosexuality,agrees that homosexuals are entitled to full civil rights.Now therefore be it resolved this Convention supports laws guaranteeing homosexuals all civil rights guaranteed to other citizens.' The Bible stands for justice and compassion for all of God's children.To deny civil rights to anyone for something he or she cannot help is against the clear commandment of justice and love,which is the message of the word of God.As a New Yorker I find it incredible that this great city,populated by more gay persons than any other city in the world,still denies them basic human rights.They make an enormous contribution to the commercial,artistic,and religious life of our city." Which of the following arguments did Bishop Paul Moore advance for granting gays and lesbians full civil rights?
A) Other countries have interpreted the Bible differently and accept gays and lesbians.
B) Gays and lesbians could be made to pay higher taxes if they were granted full civil rights.
C) It is unfair to deny people rights based on attributes they cannot change.
D) If they are not granted full rights,gays and lesbians might violently rebel.
