Sodomy is not a civil right. It's not the same as the civil rights movement

Still, it's not something the government should be looking into. On general grounds I agree with the repeal of sodomy laws because it's none of the government's damn business. That is, until that sodomite wants the government to put him in a position of trust, power and authority over others. Then it is very much the government's business.

Why? If the guy or gal is openly same sex, then they can't be blackmailed because of that. If they're into kinky sex, that's a risk we take with any officeholder, unless we're going to wire them.

The reason sodomy laws existed is because it causes diseases and promotes vice that costs the civil society economically and health wise. There are actually very good reasons to have sodomy laws.

We have a right to outlaw acts which destroy the “general welfare” and destroy Virtue—since all Founders knew (since the time of Plato) that Virtue is necessary for a free society. The MOST important element for economies to flourish and for a successful, humane military is Virtue.

I do like how this guy highlights the problem with equating sodomy with voting rights...or being born black.

I’m guessing this is one reason why the black community consistently votes against gay marriage...it HAS to tick them off!
