“Homosexuals who oppose government oppression and government action beyond that entitled everyone on a rational basis, and identify themselves as such and find themselves welcomed on that basis, can do as much for defusing the homosexual agenda as Black conservatives can for dismantling the welfare state. The opposite drives them necessarily into the arms of the left just for self-preservation.”

Can you please describe how government oppresses or has opprsesed homosexuals? It’s clear to me that the homosexual agenda is all about using Big Government to force their agenda.

Sure. I believe that sodomy laws were improper and that Lawrence v. Texas was correctly decided. Sodomy laws were an example of Big Government and imposition of essentially religious values on private conduct. Private conduct is any conduct engaged in by the person alone or between competent consenting persons. The government should not be a party to it, including in the capacity of preventing it.

The gay agenda and Big Government post Lawrence is any demand for government to be a party to their activity, to recognize it, certify it, promote it or defend it. There must be an argument to do so analogous to support for presumptive children from heterosexual relationships in confering legal rights and economic benefits. I believe there is not, so I do not support any government action in support of homosexual relationships.
