Your own expressions are an expression of a moral code...
'equal protection' - what is the basis of that? why a *moral* belief that that is what is due an individual.

Equal protection means every citizen gets the benefit of being an American.
Not just heterosexuals. Discrimination based on sexuality is immoral. That's
where your 'morality' leads. I'll take the Constitution, you can have your
commandments.

"Discrimination based on sexuality is immoral. "

How do you know this is true? On what basis is this moral statement made?

I thought you were against imposing morality.

Why are you contradicting yourself and imposing it on others?

Btw, according to your comment it is immoral to discriminate against a priest for wanting to fondle 15 year old boy.
So such a priest shouldnt be fired, right?

Round and round and round on these threads.

You can keep ignoring that "homosexuals" as a classification are people who identify themselves based on a sexual fetish.

People who want to eat horse meat in America are prohibited from doing so by law (even though horse meat is processed for export for human consumption in America).

If the government cannot regulate what goes on in the bedroom (but can legislate how much water your toilet flows in your bathroom), why are there any age of consent laws?

We know that teens are having sex (and underage sex used to be prosecuted as statutory rape). We know that adults are having sex with teens below the age of consent and that states make exceptions in the law for "Romeo & Juliet" (and now "Romeo & Romeo") cases where the adult is within 4 years of the minor below age of consent.

Therefore the persons consenting to legal sex acts are not "consenting adults". And those who are both below age of consent are definitely not considered legally able to "consent". In rare cases (say a 14 year old and a 10 year old) it will be considered molestation or statutory rape but the difference in age (not "maturity") is no different than the exception made "later" in the underaged teens years.

These would still appear to be "morals" sex laws.

Either the government has jurisdiction there or it doesn't.

Discrimination based on sexuality is immoral.

No one's discriminating based on sexuality. The law discriminates against beahaviors that are proven harmful to society. Such things as murder, theft, molestation, homosexual behavior etc are harmfult o society and have no place in a civilized nation.

Everyone in the USA has equal rights already.
