[Mrs. Don-o]

I agree with you that sodomy should not have been awarded favorable legal recognition. If illegal, it would be prosecutable only if there were a complainant; and there there is a complainant, there is an allegation of abuse which ought to be investigated, verified, and prosecuted.

And if there's no complainant? No prosecution.

As far as the schools go, they should stick to the anatomy and physiology of normal reproduction. No reason for perverse acts to be discussed at all; and if a question arises from a student, it should be clearly and briefly pointed out that many such acts (e.g. anal penetration) are illegal and inherently abusive.

On Uganda: it's obviously true that people with hidden agendas, pressure groups, actvists, and their media allies push some dubious issues to the top of the priority list, and make other issues disappear.

So, "Why should U.S. Republicans speak out on Ugandan gay issues now, when worldwise, stunning numbers of religious believers are being driven into exile, imprisoned, and murdered, and many other atrocities are being committed"? A fair enough question, but I would never take a person to task for coming out publically against the killing of members of a disfavored group.

I should read the whole article and find out exactly under what circumstances the proposed death penalty would be administered. This is all supposition, anyway, law is pending.

We’re pretty much on the same page - ;-) - just stinks to me that the Congressmen are silent as the tomb about Muslim atrocities that happen daily. And all of a sudden are outraged about a proposed law.

Motives count, big time.
