Not sure what post you are responding to. We are not discussing rights or protections for homosexuals, but a proposal by the GOP in Texas to reintroduce sodomy laws (also to ban pornography, close lap dancing clubs, etc)
Most people on the thread want to protect traditional marriage but don’t think that the other proposals are sensible or would be enforceable these days.
(BTW - My wife’s Dad is American, her Mother is English, but she was born in the US and has American nationality, not dual nationality - but calls herself half-British when asked, not sure why, I think her mother prefers it that way!)
The Texas sodomy laws were challenged and appealed all the way to the USSC [Lawrence vs Texas] by homosexuals, strip clubs are nothing but a front for whorehouses (prostitution) and pornography is nothing but entertainment for morally insane perverts. Since you think its so "mainstream" I guess you'd approve wholeheartedly if your sister or daughter or niece was exploited by pornographers? Or perhaps you just approve of them exploiting other folk's daughters, sisters and nieces for your own self gratification... disgusting..
