Fine, then.

*Demonstrably* harmed by the activity. Not having their delicate sensibilities "offended" (which is nothing more than social conservative Political Correctness), but demonstrably harmed.

Why do you want to give the government so much power? When you're asking them to patrol men's hearts, that's exactly what you're doing. Myself, I don't trust the government enough to advocate that.

LOL Now you've qualified your 'objective' standard a bit further.

"Demonstrated" according to whom? To me, same gender sex is 'demonstrably' harmful to the mental health of those participating in same. This is evidenced by the unbalanced behavior of the homosexuals involved in this incident. Further, their behavior shows that they will and do affect those around them in a negative way. Therefore, I would conclude there is demonstrable harm to both the individuals participating and to 'innocent bystanders'.

Why do you want to give the government so much power?

The issue we have been discussing is not giving or taking away power from the government. The issue is whether morality can be legistlated. My stance is that all laws are about someone's morality. Although you've disagreed, you've yet to give me a single example of a law that is based on purely objective criteria.

My point is made.
