Anti-sodomy laws violate individual liberties

Laws against murder violate my individual liberties when I commute on the expressway every day.

Laws against Bank Robbery violate my individual liberty when I want money for free.

However, if I relabel "Sodomy" as "Sex", "Murder", as "Self-Expression", and "Bank Robbery" as "Do-it-yourself Withdrawal",I suppose I could make a case of the Law making me a victim.

Comparing consensual adult sex to murder and robberty is totally ridiculous.

You overlook the fact that there is no victim in the former, and at least one individual who's rights are violated in the latter.

A foolish comparison, but thanks for the laugh.
