I just don't understand all of the hatred those guys sling around here over nothing so much as someone else's sexual choices. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Nobody (but NOBODY) has the right to tell two (or three or whatever) grown, mentally capable adults what they can do to each other in their own bedrooms here in America. Freedom of speech means dick if unpopular speech isn't protected by it, and one cannot espouse limited government influence on the lives of individuals and support the bedroom police either. It is inconsistent t the point of lunacy.
If you listen to what some of these morons have to say you'd think that homosexuals are a threat to America on the level of the Islamo-Fascists and terrorists and should all be locked up as a threat t national security.
Obviously, you couldn't read past the froth covering your monitor, and don't realize (or fail to acknowledge) that Keyes has never said his daughter should be locked up for being a lesbian.

Well. That wasn't hysterical, then was it? You can't back that statement up without a considerable amount of spinning. I dare you to try.
I concur with Justice Scalia that while anti-sodomy laws may be, in this day and age, "uncommonly silly," the Constitution guarantees no "right to privacy" that would prevent consensual sexual activity from regulation if the populace desired such.
Evidence shows that in the 20th Century, Americans no longer felt this way, and the laws' lack of enforcement reflected that. While Georgia's anti-sodomy statute was upheld in 1986 's Bowers vs. Hardwick, by the time the homoactivists finally found a similar case to attempt to overturn Bowers (2003's Lawrence vs. Texas), Georgia's state legislature had already gotten rid of its own ban on gay sex. As Rick Santorum accurately predicted amid the howls of denial from the Gay-stapo, Lawrence was designed to advance the cause of same-sex marriage being recognized by the government. How was that accomplished? In part by abandoning the notion that the Supreme Court deals with the U.S. Constitution exclusively, and ought to consider other lands' opinion on it.
dwilli: I try to have an open mind.
FWIW, my mind is open as well. It's just not so wide open that my brains spill out of my skull.
