Conservatives don't want the government in ANYBODY'S bedroom.
If homosexuals kept their private life in the bedroom, no one would know or care. What we don't want is their sex life in schools K-12, all over TV, in the marriage license bureau, in the military, in sensitivity training sessions in public institutions including schools and universities, on public streets, on beaches, in parks, and on and on and on.
But you know this.
That's where the platform planks come in.
