"Legally protected"?

I guess you wish to define "oerversions" for everyone, and they would be anything that someone else does that you don't approve of.

You may approve of pornography, and statistically speaking you probably enjoy pronographic movies or magazines on occassion.

Or your particular perversion is sodomy with your wife or significant other, or maybe even a little bondage, S & M, or even role-playing.

We all have our "perversions" if we are to define sex by strictly Puritan standards, we just don't want other people to have theirs.

anything that someone else does that you don't approve

Sodomy equals necktie patterns?

Words mean things. To pervert something means to change it from its original intention.

Homoerotic activity is a perversion because it perverts the intention(s) of sexual behavior. Only if you believe the universe is not designed can you believe that homoerotic acticity is not a perversion. But if you believe that, then no erotic activitiy is a perversion since there is no design.

Don't confuse a person's "perversions" with a person's "preferences." This degeneration of language is dangerous.

Shalom.
