I have a better idea... outlaw homosexuality!

I hope you're joking here. Are you really prepared to have the government tell consenting adults what they can or can't do in the privacy of their own bedroom?

I'm finding more and more republicans willing to make this kind of demand even while calling for smaller, less intrusive gov't. Doesn't anyone else see a contradiction here? Is it hypocritical?

As one who doesn't think homosexual behavior should be outlawed (although in many cases sodomy is against the law, please don't tell my wife what it means) there is no contradiction between the two. Its not hypocritical. Most conservatives want strong state level governments and are afraid of putting all the power in one central federal government.

This leaves the ability to maintain on one hand that federal government should be smaller and less intrusive while reserving the same to state and local government.

No one cares what happens in the bedroom. Guess what? They already do! Homosexuals want it to be very public and open. Laws are broken all the time such as sodomy with no one arrested. It doesn't make it legal, yet!

No more than it is for Republicans to have the government enforce that "Thou shalt not murder" thing.
