There is no word that one can use to depict it in the appearance of human rights. What's right is right and vice versa. 

"Whatever is great (as discipline ) for a miscreant, for a burglar, an alchemist, or a killer is useful for a g*y person. They are all in the same platform. God particularly says that a gay person ought to be expelled from the camp of the children of God. 

The discipline for gay person in the Anglican church is that such a man have nothing to do with them by method for fellowship. In the event that they repent, they ought to return to the church and make confession."
