But ~some~ FReekers are so obsessed, as I specified above. Are you one?

No. And certainly, the obsession on this issue lies almost entirely on the side of those who believe our Republic will fall if we do not immediately embrace butt-pumping as a major factor underlying Truth, Justice and the American Way. The reasoning (seen many times) goes like this: If a state can say that same-sex intercourse is wrong (or that same-sex marriage is not valid) then we live in a tyranny run by sex police. If not, then we live in freedom, with no sex police.

I love how anti-liberty types jump to conclusions about libertarians, and pretend they've said things they never have. Amusingly delusional.

Well then, say something: If anti-sodomy and other such laws violate the sanctitiy of the home that the Founders placed in the Bill of Rights, why didn't they do away with such laws?

Your problem here lies in the viewing of the Indivudal, not the Family, as the basis of society.

I don't think the State has any business interfering in the private, consensual acts of adults.

But legitimizing same-sex marriage legitimizes the "right" of homosexuals to procure children and forces the children procured by that union to live under the "alternative reality" that is two mommies or two daddies but NOT the basic and only natural scenario that is a father and mother who -- together -- conceived and bore the child.

Again, the heteros bitching about homosexual unions have only themselves to blame. Having decided that birth control, artificial conception and abortion are "rights" they have transformed heterosexuality into a more homosexual operation and aesthetic.

You say 'no', then show your obsession with "butt pumping" in the next line. Weird.

Many state laws violate our BOR's. They are not done away with until changed by 'we the people', or until successfully challenged in the courts. - IE, -- CA's gun prohibition was unsuccessfully challenged last week. The USSC refused to "do away" with it. Does this refusal justify it, in your view?
