Quote "Why don't we eliminate all laws then?"

Laws are meant to protect people. Of course we need laws.

If two consenting adults want to do something in their bedroom...and they are not hurting anyone...I don't think we need a law saying that should or should not do - whatever it is they are doing.

Laws are mean for those who commit crimes. Not meant for people have sex...

Note to ignorant poster. Sodomy is no longer illegal. We've moved on to gay marriage. Please try to keep up, won't you? Thanks so much!

Okay, if it is permissable for two consenting adults... why not 10? or 20?

This IS the slippery slope argument writ large. If not here, where? Where should the line on permissable behaviour be drawn?

BTW, sex and marriage are not mutually exclusive in today's culture. Sex outside of marriage is considered acceptable. Therefore, if homosexuals wish to engage in such practices in the privacy of their own homes, fine. Nothing we can do to stop them. But to claim marriage rights just because they want to boff each other? Ludicrous!

This is about the recognition and governmental subsidy of perverted behavior taking place in the privacy of the bedrooms of the lavender canoodlers. No one proposed patrolling those bedrooms. That does not mean that their twisted behavior is "normal" or can or ought to be regarded as the basis of "marriage" or ought to be subsidized by normal people. Congress ought also to remove tax deductibility for benefits provided to lavender " unions" just as dog, ummm, lovers cannot get tax-subsidized medical benefits for Fido, just because they have become intimate with Fido.

We will be having enough problem with the financial burden of Social Security without having to provide survivors' benefits to Lance's lovely, er, wife, Bruce. Nor ought Bruce to be allowed, if abandoned by Lance, to apply for welfare benefits as a displaced homemaker and boy toy unfit for other, ummm, occupations. If the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause and its state counterparts are construed to give Bruce "equal rights," then repeal them. they are general trouble in any event.
