GAY RIGHTS, RELIGN AND WHAT’S WRONG WH PRCIPL
John Gay and the Birth of Utilarianism - Volume 30 Issue 1 * gay principle *
But I stggle wh petg iologi around what I feel is my duty to e out as a gay prcipal — and my sire to avoid any sort of nflict as a rult. In my provce of Ontar, we saw the rise of former Progrsive Conservative ndidate Tanya Granic Allen, a social nservative who, although was eventually removed om her ndidacy after facg charg of homophobia and Islamophobia, was ially weled by the party learship.
As for myself, this article reprents the begng of my journey, as I merge my inti: I am a prcipal, who happens to be gay. Many gay rights supporters believe that equivalence, and so regard any promise that would ease those fears as morally od. Commissn on Civil Rights spoke for many when clared that proposals for relig acmodatn “reprent an orchtrated, natnwi effort by extremists to promote bigotry, cloaked the mantle of ‘relig eedom, ’” and “are pretextual attempts to jtify naked anim agast lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr people.
GAY MARRIAGE: THEOLOGIL AND MORAL ARGUMENTS
Welts me out as gay 2011, and proceed to lead the Goln State Warrrs through their most succsful ever. * gay principle *
Arguments about the gay rights/relig liberty nflict often talk past each other, bee they often foc on one of the terts qutn and ignore the other. Statistics suggt, however, that gays and lbians are not creasg number, if we accept the bt rearch data of Edward Lmann, who puts the number at about 5% of the populatn1.
What has grown is a much greater acceptance of gays and lbians our culture, as well as the social and enomic eedom for gays and lbians to emerge om the closet that has nfed them for so many generatns. The recent addn of same sex mment ceremoni the Sunday New York Tim weddg and engagement announcements and the populary of shows as "Will and Grace" and "Queer Eye…" dite a shift our culture's attu toward gays and lbians. In every class, for the past 20 odd years, I have ved a gay former stunt, Lee FzGerald, to speak on gay relatnships.
My tent was two-fold: first to ve stunts to dialogue wh people different om themselv; send, to work to elimate, whatever small way I uld, homophobic attus on our mp and our muny.
JOHN GAY AND THE BIRTH OF UTILARIANISM
* gay principle *
My purpose today is not to support or fend gay and lbian marriag—ed, many gays and lbians do not want to marry—but simply suggt a theologil approach that might open up the possibily for greater Christian acceptance of, and eccliastil approval for, same sex unns.
A person is born gay and lbian and grows up this way; is not a matter of cisn, one possibily among others for the mature dividual. "Consiratns Regardg Proposals to Give Legal Regnn to Unns Between Homosexual Persons" (CDF): nnot promote any form of civil regnn of same-sex unns, formally or materially. Catholic sistence: one n uphold the digny of homosexual people while not upholdg their right-to-marry; no unjt discrimatn towards homosexuals is acceptable; they mt be treated wh rpect, and their rights fend.
Gay’s experience and expertise have allowed him to also nsult wh schools Los Angel and San Diego unti, as well as schools Washgton, Oregon, and several years, the Associatn of Christian Schools Internatnal (ACSI) has ved Mr. Gay found the TriWay Athletic League which has given several thoand stunts the opportuny to participate petive athletics. He received a California Teachg crential om Southern California Christian College (currently known as Vanguard Universy) and, June 2007 received a Masters Edutnal Admistratn om Conrdia Gay has been a rint of Lake Fort, California, for over 30 years where he and his wife Edie, of over 44 years, raised their four dghters.

Abstract This article ncerns John Gay's 1731 say ‘Prelimary Dissertatn Concerng the Fundamental Prciple of Virtue or Moraly’. While some scholars have taken an tert Gay's say, a staed treatment of s ntents do not exist, spe s acknowledged fluence on Hume, Hartley, Jam Mill, and John Stuart Mill. Acrdg to William Paley, Edmund Law said about Gay that ‘no man knew the Bible or the works of Locke better’ (Paley, William, ‘A Short Memoir of the Life of Edmund Law’, The Works of William Paley, D.
Gay, John, ‘Prelimary Dissertatn Concerng the Fundamental Prciple of Virtue or Moraly’, An Essay on the Orig of Evil, Kg, William, ed. Send, Gay's general strategy at this pot of the argument is to provi a amework to arbrate the disput between the other moralists.
While Gay's assumptn that God wills the happs of his creatn seems sensible, is theologilly ntroversial for his time. For example, Gay is out of step wh certa domant forms of Prottantism of which he was no doubt aware (Prbyterianism and the Reformed tradn, generally). In this way, Gay's prentatn of utilarianism as a mimalist, theologilly based ethics may be more revisnary than he suggts.

Regardls, Butler's objectn is directed at the posn Gay fends – one that he thks naturally flows om a mistaken readg of Hutchon's Inquiry. That said, Gay not that this ‘habual knowledge’ is a form of prejudice that is rarely examed and is difficult to root out (‘Prelimary Dissertatn’, p. Hence those thgs and pleasure are so tied together and associated our mds, that one nnot prent self but the other will also occur’ (Gay, ‘Prelimary Dissertatn’, pp.
The other aspect of Gay's view about how associatns velop motivatnal force is the love we naturally feel for agents who are nducive to our happs.

Regardg the stcture of the two says, Brown begs as Gay do: wh an attempt to show that the domant moral theori of the time unwtgly assume the prciple of utily as their crern of virtue. Importantly, Hume did not claim to have vented the prcipl of associatn, so much as the e to which Gay, and later figur like Hartley and Jam Mill, put them.
