Welcome to FR.

So laws against gay marriage in the 1800s, are to be viewed today as being just as bad as slavery was? Sodomy is a conduct (whether or not it should be outlawed). Slavery was based on race alone.

I believe homosexuality was an offense punished by death in some states around the time the Constitution was written.

Aren't you confusing the Code of Hammurabi with state laws?

If not, please cite your source for a US state law around the time that the Constitution was written that prescribed the death penalty for helping slaves escape.

(Not 'slave rebellion', but 'helping slaves escape').

You are comparing slavery to a sexual fetish? Oh dear.
