Wow....really? The framers designed our government system so that we could not change and modify laws? You must of read a different history book than the rest of us!

Ever hear of the legislative branch of the federal government? You know, the branch that MAKES LAWS (i.e. legislates)?

our founding truth,
There's one obvious problem with making homosexual sex illegal, there's no victim. Every crime I can think of whether it's murder, burglary or even shoplifting has a victim. When an individual is charged with a crime they're confronted in court with evidence that they have victimized someone and the prosecution presents their case to the jury. There's only one other activity that's illegal almost everywhere that doesn't have a victim and that's prostitution. That's generally not considered to be a serious crime and people aren't sent to prison for it. I think it's probably a misdemeanor although I don't know that for sure. Anyway, I don't want to drift off topic but it seems to me that you consider your opinion to be so important that people should be locked up because they don't share your point of view.
Let me ask you this. How serious of a crime do you consider homosexual sex to be when you compare it with other crimes on the books today? Would you consider it to be a felony or a lesser offense?

Divine Law is not to be changed by legislative action.

There are many victims; themselves in sin, and the family members, and the community.

I consider it a crime as the Bible and Founding Fathers did.

If "Sam" & "Joe", or "Mary" & "Sue", as a couple, are living next door to me, how they conduct themselves in their bedroom causes me no pain or grief whatsoever.>

Your personal view of sin has no bearing on Natural Law and the will of the framers.

What consenting adults do behind closed doors has no business being dragged into a court system>

You don't know your country. The framers said because crime is done in secret is the same as done in public. They both undermine morality. I think it's Charleston v Sharpless, where they persecuted a guy for showing pornographic pictures in his own house!

I'd rather read the Founding Fathers who formed our nation.
