I like sex just fine.
Your "version" of it, yes. I just don't like the purveyors of the perverted versions trying to shove it down my throat, or to impose their degraded morality on my children. In fact, I take great exception to it.
Interesting. You don't want others "shoving" their "versions" down *your* throat, but you seem quite comfortable enforcing your version as an article of public policy. How do you resolve the contradiction? Can you imagine some sort of happy compromise where we all get to pursue our own "versions" without passing laws against one another? Doesn't make me a mullah, jerk.
Aside from a few doctrinal subtleties, how are you different than any mullah?

Center for the Original Intent of the ConstitutionIt is a settled constitutional principle within our federal republic that states possess general police powers. Inherent within these powers lies the duty to regulate the "health, safety, and morals" of their members. Barnes v. Glen Theater, 501 U. S. 560, 569 (1991) (referencing public indecency statutes which were designed to protect morals and public order). States have used this police power to promote marriage and direct the sexual activities of their citizens into marriage by criminalizing a wide variety of nonmarital sex acts, such as polygamy, rape, fornication, adultery, prostitution and incest. While crimes such as rape and incest are not consensual, adultery, prostitution, polygamy and fornication are private acts between consenting adults that have been regulated throughout our nation's history. As we shall demonstrate, states have possessed and properly exercised the authority to regulate deviate sexual conduct including sodomy at all relevant times in our nation's history.

Thomas Jefferson on Sodomy Sect. XIV. Whosoever shall be guilty of rape, polygamy, or sodomy* with a man or woman, shall be punished; if a man, by castration, a woman, by boring through the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch in diameter at the least.

Your "version" of it, yes.

So what is your 'version'?

No. I want you and those who promote deviancy to stay the hell away from me and my kids...and I don't want one of my tax dollars going to promote your destructive 'lifestyle choices'.

No contradiction on my part--and no.

If anyone is acting like a mullah, it's you--trying to enforce your twisted worldview on my and my family, with my resources.

Can you imagine some sort of happy compromise where we all get to pursue our own "versions" without passing laws against one another?

I can. It would involve using no tax dollars to pay for the results of reckless behavior; removal of all pro-gay propaganda from public institutions; and restoring the right of free association so that people who are truly turned off by homosexual behavior can exclude it from their private lives and property.

With it out of my wallet, my school, and my face, I'll be happy to live and let live.
