I still say you're hysterical. There's a difference between consensual private acts between consenting adults and the very public institution of marriage.

There's a difference between consensual private acts between consenting adults and the very public institution of marriage. You're confusing the two issues in the case. Think about it again, considering them separately. You will see that I'm right.

Define them. Defend them against the 14th Amendment and the soi-disant "right to privacy" you embrace. Go ahead. Then, if you can, reconcile your position with the teachings of the Church you and I belong to. I look forward to watching this.

It's not a question of being hysterical. It's a question of the law........ and the potential acceptance under law that anything you do within the confines of your home is legal. That's the subtle, but overriding concern about this case.
Even the Supreme Court, when they initially passed the "no sodomy" law (in private homes) in the 50s..... the majority included in their opinion that we (the court) were on a slippery slope. They knew this could escalate out of control and open up the "in private" agruement for anything.

So this case would make adult incest legal?
So a 25 year old ADULT child of a 45 year old ADULT parent can consent to sexual behavior between themselves?
Logically this is what the homosexuals are defending.
