What? You never heard of Griswald v. Connecticut?
Grow up,
Lie. Homosexuals and their assistants and supporters are doing everything they can to change peoples' attitudes towards homosexual behavior and so-called "identity" and you know it.
This is about being treated differently under the law. The Texas law let unmarried heterosexuals commit sodomy without legal sanction. It only sought out homosexuals as being criminal.
Nonsense. Now all sodomy laws are "unconstitutional". Other states had sodomy laws that applied equally and they are struck down too.
Finally, most gays have dealt with "unpopularity" all their lives.
There's no constitutional right to having people like you.
You have no idea the psychological damage that can happen to young gay people when they hear their parents and family members denigrate and dehumanize gays. Nothing like telling a young person he/she is unworthy of your love.
You don't know what I know. I have a close and dear relative who has succombed to the lure of same sex life and I love this person dearly. I don't reject this person. But I don't accept what this person does.
Doesn't make em straight but it does make em determined to try to prevent it for the next generation.
If someone wants to change they can and thousands can attest to this truth.
And your level of presumption about the other side of the issue makes me wonder if you'd have any qualms with cannibalism if you had been raised in a zeitgeist that celebrated cannibals.
He can't hep it... he's got 'fundies' in his 'undies'.
You don't say?!?!?!
I guess by your standard, I can't be critical of Nazis because I don't have any Nazi friends.

One could say the same thing about pedophiles.
If you'll look closely, the "fundies" have asked that we leave the law and culture alone. The homosexual activists have created and proposed numerous laws "minding everyone elses business."
The "fundies" aren't the enemy. The gays are.
Shalom.
This is why children should be seen and not heard...no one besides you parents and teachers wants to be bothered with the tedious job of imparting an education to you. If you don't know the connection, then you know no more about the case than a redneck knows about China.
Educate yourself.
Their idea of freedom is to be able to engage in any form of sexual adventurism as often (and as varied) as their mind's (and glands) desire. And to be able to prevent, by force of law, anyone from thinking that there might be something wrong with their actions.
It is not a "smear tactic." It is a reasonable question which you have no reasonable answer for...hence your aggressive attempt to marginalize me with inept insinuation.
On what objective standard do you approve of homosexuality, but disapprove of pedophilia? Consent of adults is a dodge, because the relevant issue is WHY not WHAT.
But answer me this: If, in fact, homosexuality were actually a perversion, what evidence would you accept to prove it?
Don't worry -- I'm sure only leather bullets will be used.
Ooooo! Redefining the elements of an analogy: how novel.
Wow. That was hard to get when I was in school.
