"When are you guys ever going to learn that people don't like to be told what they can and can not do?"

How absurd. All civilized societies have laws telling people what they can't do. We don't let people "choose" murder, for example.

Civilized societies prevent citizens from harming other people's rights. However, there should be no concern for the small-minded so-called 'morality' of some people. If I want to gamble, or drink as much alcohol as I want to, then why should anyone be able to tell me not to do that? I propose that organisations like the Christian Coalition spend less time interfering in other people's lives, and more time on getting a life.
