If it is done in private what does it matter? It is not like it is hurting anyone (except maybe those involved in it)

Ever hear of disease? STDs are prevalent among heterosexuals. They, and many other diseases are almost the rule among homosexuals. Whole arrays of disease are prevalent in those that practice anal sex that aren't in those that don't.

The state has a legitimate interest in differentiating these behaviours and discouraging some - especially since many infected by these various diseases allow them to more easily become carriers of other diseases (Then there's the whole idea of public health-care).

I will not dispute your STD stats BUT what about

Fatty Foods
Junk Foods
Sodas
Smoking
Drinking

Should the goverment control those also? After all " The state has a legitimate interest in differentiating these behaviours and discouraging some "

Where do you draw the line? It is easy for some because they feel that this behavior is 'wrong'. But do not forget that others out there feal the things I listed are just as bad. Should they get their way also?
