I respectfully disagree. Why?

That way when people especially homosexuals molest children, the fact that they often sodomize them will be counted as a worse crime. Of course, any child molester should face execution, but since that doesn’t happen, at least the sodomy count should be there.

Plus, if it’s illegal, it tends to keep them more in the closet, which is where they belong, instead of in the parks, on the streets, on the beaches, in the public rest rooms, etc.

Please reread my posts. I specifically limited the right to privacy, excluding any situation when anyone's rights are violated. A child's rights to not be molested fall within this exclusion.

However, to take your argument to an extreme, would you be in favor of all aspects of Sharia law be enforceable by the courts if a significant number of citizens are practicing Muslims?

Something can be legal among consenting adults, but illegal when performed on someone who has not, or legally cannot, give consent. Making sodomy generally legal under the law in no way makes forced sodomy legal or in any way acceptable.

All of those things you mentioned are illegal, regardless of whether sodomy itself is legal or not. Again, some things can be perfectly legal between consenting adults in private, but illegal in public.

And sodomy laws made a lot of heterosexual conduct illegal, too. These laws tended to apply to all types of sodomy, regardless of the parties involved.
