At a glance: Sexual orientation by itself never breaches the Legal or Moral Principles.
Applying the Principles
- Legal Principle: Competent adults can love and spend time with anyone they choose. Voluntarily deciding to live together, combine resources, pay joint bills, or engage in consensual sex is no breach, regardless of gender or identity.
Intolerance
Some people are less open-minded or even prejudiced against people with a specific sexual orientation. Such people should not be forced to associate with or do business with those they choose not to. As with non-aggressive racism and free speech, this is the price of a free society. Discriminating against people of a particular sexual orientations risks reducing the customer base of a business and opens up the business owners to a backlash from other members in society, such as by way of non-judicial remedies.
Bathrooms
The owner of the property can decide under what circumstances another person may use their bathroom. Property owners are entitled to control their private property, whether residential or commercial.
Gender reassignment
Parents are the proper legal guardians of their minor children. They are afforded substantial but not unlimited discretion - they have a fiduciary duty to act in the reasonable best interest of their children. Local communities must decide the age at which a parent’s consent for a minor’s surgery would be a breach of their fiduciary duty.
Conclusion
All forms of consensual sexual choices between competent adults must be legal - there is no victim. Intolerance is not a breach of the Legal Principle, but such people may face informal negative consequences from the tolerant majority.
