I am not in favor of gay marriage, but Lawrence was a good decision in that it was a step in keeping the government out of people’s bedrooms and overturned laws that prohibited certain acts between consenting adults, both heterosexual and homosexual.
Knock off the “consenting adults” and “private” bullsh*t.
Teenagers, minors, EVERYONE can engage in homosexual acts under present law now. Not just adults.
And pushing it in our schools, institution of marriage, employment, etc is not “private”.
Agreed. People forget that “sodomy” laws were typically written to cover “unapproved” sexual behavior between husband and wife as well. How such meddling is the private lives of its citizenry is the proper business of the state is a free society is difficult to understand.
Lawrence was a setup right from the start intended to force recognition of the sodomite lifestyle, a lifestyle the vast majority of Americans find abominable, down our throats.
It was exactly the same as if someone had proposed that pedophilia is legal if done in the privacy of one's own bedroom
