The constitution has to enpower the government to do things, not simply not stop them. And by the way, "queers" have the very same rights that you have, so they also have a voice in the kind of society they want to live in.

** Right of Self-Preservation **

"Why does YOUR right supercede the rights of others with a different point of view? Don't they have the RIGHT to live in the society they want to live in?"

SELF-PRESERVATION. If their behavior destroys our society, then we have the right to forbid their behavior. If people are going to go out and commit sex-acts, that result in their getting diseases of all kinds, that pollute our blood supply, that bankrupt our health research and free health care system, we have a RIGHT to forbid their behaviors.

If people are going to try to engage in behaviors that wreck the family, which is the bedrock of our society, then we have the RIGHT to forbid those behaviors that do that. We have a right to have laws against unmarried couples living together. We have the right to have laws against adultery, because adultery wrecks families. Who supports the children? How are the children taken care of?

We have a right to preserve ourselves and our society. When people engage in behaviors which are destructive to society, then we have a right to forbid those behaviors. We don't have to sit around and allow our society to be destroyed by a lot of self-indulgent fools, who can't see beyond tomorrow, who are too blind to see the EFFECTS of their actions, who live only for instant gratification. Who cares what happens afterwards? Well, WE care, because we have to pay the consequences.

Society can make those kinds of determinations. We can just look around and see all the terrible effects, and say: "No more! We can't afford it! We want our society to continue! We have children coming up! We have grandchildren! We want them to have a society to live in, too!"

If these people with their behaviors are going to spread all these diseases, and wreck families, we have a right to forbid that.
