[Hermann the Cherusker]

All laws are based upon a morality. The laws against homosexuality are not only able to be sanctioned upon the example of Leviticus, but also by use of right reason inquiring as to what use is to be made of the sexual organs of man. Natural law in other words.

The notion that you can't outlaw something if Christianity says its wrong, and that it is Taliban like "Theocracy" to do so is tiresome stupidity. If public laws on human acts are not to be based upon natural law and religious morality, upon what basis do you propose to ground them? The whims of a liberal judiciary?

No, the idea is that you can't outlaw something just because Christianity opposes it. Or because some people oppose it.

I could probably get a majority of people to vote to outlaw meatloaf, because it is repulsive, but that would not make it the right thing to do.
Anyone wants a meatloaf dinner in the privacy of their own plate has a right to offend against the Gods of Good Taste and their own stomach.

The notion that you can't outlaw something if Christianity says its wrong

This is an inaccurate representation. The argument with respect to Christianity is that it is not right to outlaw something only because Christianity says that it is wrong. Otherwise you're creating a strawman to which you could use murder -- which Christianity opposes, but then so do many other religions -- as a counter.
