I don't think that any such moral authority exists. I leave the legalisms to others.

Do you think that for the first 150 plus years, the state laws criminalizing sodomy (and as far as I know, were universal among the states) were unconstitutional and people (such as Jefferson who was governor of Virginia which had such a law) just weren't enlightened enough to know it?

You seem to have missed the part where I leave legalisms to others. I don't care if they were constitutional or not, I would support an amendment if that made it ok for you. Otherwise, I would have to conclude that your only problem with it is that it's illegal.

Homosexual activity is a sin, not a crime. (Or it shouldn't be anyway.)
