I stated:

"It's frankly, none of your business when, how, how often, what position, and who adults have consentual sex with."

You replied: And why not? It's a free country, and I'm a citizen.

And everyone else is free too. They are free to worship as they chose, associate with people as they choose, and certainly should be able to have sex with whomwever they chose; whether you like it or not. As a citizen, you are neither in charge of enforcing your morality, nor imposing your ethos upon anyone else. It used to be illegal for blacks and whites to have sex; and I'm certain people like you would have loved to intervene in that situation too.

In 48 states in America (with the exceptions of Mo and Tx) people are free to behave sexually with whomever they want (assuming adults and consentual). Texas will not likely win the Supreme Court; thus Mo will be the only state dictating what manner of sexual congress is legal within it's borders.

In other words, my citizenship in a free country doesn't extend to my own morality or moral conscience. I have no business deciding issues of right and wrong at all, right?

That's some idea of freedom, isn't it? If I'm not qualified to use my moral judgement as a citizen of a free country, perhaps you could start by telling me who is?
