Thanx for the historical perspective, you wasted a lot of bandwidth on stuff I already know.
Oh! And welcome to the 21st century. Keep your eyes open and hang on, you're in for a bumpy ride.
Why can't they be like we are, perfect in everyway, what's the matter with gays today................
No matter how much society appears to change, the law on this subject has remained steadfast from the earliest history of the law, and that law is and must be our law today. The common law designates homosexuality as an inherent evil... ---- Chief Justice Moore of the Alabama Supreme Court in a decision denying custody of children to a lesbian mother.
"The Constitution does not confer a fundamental right upon homosexuals to engage in sodomy. None of the fundamental rights announced in this Court's prior cases involving family relationships, marriage, or procreation bear any resemblance to the right asserted in this case. And any claim that those cases stand for the proposition that any kind of private sexual conduct between consenting adults is constitutionally insulated from state proscription is unsupportable. " The United States Supreme Court in BOWERS v. HARDWICK, 478 U.S. 186 (1986) 478 U.S. 186
All recent decisions. You can't blame these on those "Evil Founders."
The United States Military, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Massachusetts Michigan, and Missouri all have laws That ban Homosexuality.
In many of those places, Homosexuality is a felony. In North Carolina for example, Homosexuality is a class I felony, Homosexuals who go to the parks to engage in their perversions are prosecuted and convicted, and live the rest of their pathetic lives with that status hanging over them.
Some people think the 21st century will go away if they ignore it, or stick their fingers in their ears and hum real loud at it, or crash a few airplanes into it, or something....
