Law is not the same as morality. Are you making a rhetorical argument? Your post doesn't seem to relate to what you're replying to.
I can't understand why a non-sequitur post like this would get upvotes unless people were just unironically in favor of moral relativism when it goes their way.

It's specifically because it's anti-LGBT. Hatred is starting to outpace pragmatism, and thus resistance is going to turn into vengeance. It was inevitable; the pendulum was always going to swing back in a big way. I can't blame people for feeling that way but I still don't like to see it.
Correct. Law is not the same as morality. YOUR moral worldview, disagreeing with THEIR LAW, isn’t relevant here.
If you want to get on your soapbox, you’d do well to get well acquainted with Malaysian morality, to get the general populations’ consensus on homosexuality.
YOUR moral worldview, disagreeing with THEIR LAW, isn’t relevant here.
It seems like this logic would exclude any conversation about unjust laws, or the state of the world in general. If you can't apply your own moral world view to the situations of others, why have a discussion forum at all?
This is why I asked if you were making a rhetorical argument. Your tone doesn't come across over the internet. There's a point where pretending to be retarded stops being pretend.

Unjust in YOUR opinion. The country involved? Maybe not so much. Again: it’s their country, not yours. Tough.
Conversely: put your adult pants on and RESPECT DIVERSITY; that other cultures do NOT have the same values as you do.
