The Founders did not allow homosexuality. During Thomas Jefferson's governorship of Virginia the penalty was death. He tried to change it to castration for men and a hole in the nose of women. He lost. They abhorred immorality and the damage it does to society. You are on the wrong site.

No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders. Samuel Adams

We Recognize No Sovereign but God and No King but Jesus. John Hancock

We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God. James Madison

Do you have a link for that?
