I’ve always said they would be better off with decriminalization.
Better to keep it under wraps and pay a small fine if caught than to pay government every time they buy. Legalization will lead to a bunch of new laws as well.
Bingo. Decriminalization keeps it out of stores, off billboards, and out of public consumption.
Legalization of same sex sodomy went from being an alternative lifestyle choice to a protected and quotaed segment of society that can imposes its will on photographers, employers, insurers, and ultimately churches. It now also is openly promoted in schools all the way down to kindergarten. So much for it being JUST about "consenting adults in private".
