"Pedophiles" aren't a group? They think they are. Hell, in the Netherlands, the pedophiles are forming a political party, making them more a "group" than even homosexuals!

Well, although this isn't the Netherlands, they could also form a political party here. They have the same First Amendment rights we all do. But unlike some other countries, they are forbidden from engaging in any sexual acts with children. And I did not realize the number of pedophiles in the US was greater than the number of homosexuals. Do you have a link?

So forget your "group" argument. And the compelling argument for prohibiting homosexual sodomy would be exactly the same argument as for the other activities I listed -- it's immoral, debasing, and destructive to society.

Well, just saying that is not going to make a law you want stand up. You must answer the question of why private homosexual behavior (which has been done throughout history) is any more destructive to society than private heterosexual behavior. That is your challenge.

The specific behavior prohibited does not interfere with being a male homosexual nor does that prohibition interfere with male homosexuals living their lives like any other citizen.

The prohibition of specific acts of sex between two males, or two females, while permitting exactly those same sex acts between two heterosexuals flies in the face of your claims of "immoral" "debasing" and "destructive to society". You have done no more than single out homosexual males while ignoring homosexual females and heterosexuals for doing exactly the same thing. Why is anal sex between two consenting heterosexuals any more moral, or any less debasing or any more danger to society than it would be between heterosexuals?

I was told long ago to not even try to explain morality to someone who doesn't want to listen. If you can't see how homosexual behavior is immoral, debasing and destructive to our society, then I'm not the one to explain it to you.

"You have done no more than single out homosexual males while ignoring homosexual females and heterosexuals for doing exactly the same thing."

Quit acting like a child. What's your next question -- why is sex with a 17-year-old legal but not one who is 16 1/2? Why is 55MPH legal but not 56MPH? Huh? Huh? Huh??

Certain behaviors are not acceptable to our society. Homosexual sodomy is one. You may get some court to accept it, but that's a hollow victory and you know it.
