"A major underlying issue here is that certain people have begun to identify themselves by the "behaviors" with which they engage in. By every argument made by secular/progressive types on behalf of legitimizing homosexual acts as a 'class' of human beings, the very same arguments can and will be applied to the legitimization of incest, beastial "relationships," necrophilia, and yes.....homosexual cannibalism.

Frankly, I'm opposed to all "class" distinctions among people. Such distinctions should neither be used to protect OR to harm any citizen. Acts are the only way we can judge others. In this country, we make distinctions between legal and illegal acts. When a person acts in an illegal fashion, we have recourse against them. If they act legally, they are free do do so.
The problem here arises because some feel that sexual activities between persons of the same gender are wrong. Yet...in this country, they are not illegal. So the "class" distinction is applied in negative ways towards those people, even though they are obeying the law.
There are laws against sex with children, necrophilia (not in all states), bestiality (again, not in all states), and some other activities. People who break those laws are criminals.
The lesbian couple are not criminals.
If we wish to criminalize homosexual acts, or criminalize two women (or men) sharing a household, then we should do that. If we do not, then we should leave them alone.
Let's put aside all of the politically correct nonsense that's confusing issues and focus on the very real consequences to our nation, to all taxpayers, and to the health and welfare of all Americans due to our current very tolerant positions with regards to
sex. Read the following article and pay particular attention to the statistics---of the diseased, the dead, and the costs.

We did criminalize it. An activist court that we want changed, decriminalized it.
And we should leave the children out of it.
