Reverse the very wrong SCOTUS decision - Lawrence vs Texas - that prevented states from enacting anti-sodomy laws if they so wished.

That needs to be done. Infringement on states’ rights by an out of control fedgov.

Once states can make it illegal, then it’s a whole new ball game.

Other point is, why is the fedgov in the business of pushing the homosexual agenda at all? Even if it’s not illegal? Plenty of things are harmful and destructive but not illegal. Should a destructive, immoral, mentally ill behavior be promoted just because a tiny percentage of people want to indulge in it, just because it isn’t illegal (any more)?

Should the gov promote sado masochism? It’s not illegal but it’s immoral, depraved and dangerous. Of course, that’s a bad example since S&M is a subset of homo-behavior that is being normalized.

Let me try to think of another immoral, destruvtive nutso behavior that the fedgov does not promote. How about bulimia? Eating tons until you puke? Plenty of people do it, it’s not illegal. But the fedgov doesn’t promote it or normalize it. It’s immoral because it is gluttonous and wasteful, and since humans are supposed to treat their bodies respectully, it’s also immoral, but the immorality is no where near the level of homosexual acts, so it’s also not a perfect analogy.

Okay, adultery. It’s immoral, and not illegal. Or “swinging”. The fedgov doesn’t promote or normalize these immoral acts, but they are legal and destructive and immoral. No “adultery pride” parades, with city streets closed off, mayors in the convertable, cops with rainbow attire, etc.

We would most likely return to the status quo pre-Lawrence. I think there were about a dozen states whose existing laws were overturned by that case. Most other states had repealed their sodomy laws in the '70s or '80s.

Good example, but I'm not so sure I'd agree with you about there being no "adultry pride" parades. They're shown 24/7 on cable TV and the internet. ;-)
