Again, show me where the Founders "outlawed" perversion. I must have missed that clause in the Constitution.

Individual communities had a variety of laws. And yet Washington allowed "camp followers" even though VD was a serious issue. Nearly EVERY port town in the colonies had a thriving brothel business and as we both agree Franklin liked the "strumpets" as he reportedly called them.

None of which supports a Federal "gay rights" movement or a moral crusade using the same power against them.

You brought the Constitution into it in post 124. And as I've already stated, the gays have no more right to use government force to push their agenda than homophobes have to make gay sex illegal. That's not Constitutional governance.

I pointed out that the guys that wrote the Constitution thought sodomy was a perversion. Why don't you show me where any of them spoke against STATE laws against sodomy? Show me where they clearly said perversion was a right.
