And privately too with your beloved laws.

No, again this is prudence. You cannot go into everyone's bedroom and police them. But you can send a message as to society's disapproval of homosexual behavior by keeping a law like this on the books. I don't the government snooping on me either.

What you libertarians will never understand is that if this kind of perverted society where people are performing cunnilingus on girls they met five minutes ago continues, the moral structure of this nation suffers. Self-policing obviates government policing. No public virtue, no liberty.

Lets not forget hetrosexual behavior. You seem stuck on the homosexual aspect. Bizzare.

If you haven't had oral sex with your wife or girlfriend you have nothing to fear. LOL

So now you're advocating two classes of laws. Some you want enforced (presumably murder, assault, theft, and so on), and some are there to "send a message" but you really don't want them enforced. Do you not see the tremendous potential for abuse when someone in power decides that one of your "message" laws needs to be enforced firmly?

Laws that the government has no intention of enforcing consistently invariably cause a lessening of the respect for law in general.
