"The logical conclusion to your argument is that anything that happens in private is legal.

Obviously that's not the case. If murder is illegal even if it occurs in private. Then so is sodomy, if the state declares it illegal. There is no right to sodomy in the constitution."


Murder involves violating someone else's rights and thus is not protected by the right to privacy.


Not to mention it is simply not anyone's business what couples do.... I am in favor of smaller less intrusive government , not a government that regulates every private detail of life.... I don't understand how conservatives could feel otherwise.

Sodomy has been responsible for the spread of epidemics of disease through the general population, including HIV, MSRP, Heptatis, etc. These diseases have reached innocents through blood transfusions (HIV), through hospital stays (MRSP), and through other risky behaviors such as drug use(HEP) The behavior shouldn't be protected by the right to privacy as there are innocent victims of homosexual behavior. In addition sodomizers represent a vastly disporportionate percent of child abuse.

States should have the right to limit behavior especially when it represents a health risk to the general population or when the behavior is associated with an increase in the propensity of individuals to commit acts of aggression against youth, without the Federal government intervening and telling the states that they can't.

Nobody is suggesting that states should be able to monitor the bedroom. They had sodomy laws on the books for decades and didn't do that.
