Why answer a question when you insult those you want the answer from?

I've read the thread, and all of your posts. The first time you ask the question is in this post;

Please explain how you make a person illegal? I mean I'm pretty sure John Adams and Tommy Jefferson are about to rise out of their graves and make you illegal. Btw, that's not what I really wanted to write.
That post is the first time you or ANYONE mentions making a person illegal. No one else has ever said anything about making a PERSON illegal, including the post to which you were responding. Your continued insistance that someone answer the question of how, when no one has suggested doing it but you, is getting a tad tiresome.

I am a very conservative republican. However, I think that people should be able to do whatever the hell they want, as long as they are not harming other people. I fail to understand why anyone cares whether someone is gay or not, unless they are a public figure who is promoting a gay agenda at the expense of other citizens (Kagan comes to mind).

It is sad that the American soul has little room for libertarianism...
Well that was an interesting "fact free" post.

You mean like shopping, paying a mortgage, working, paying taxes, raising kids etc?

You're wrong.
If homosexuality is illegal, then what does that make people who are homosexual? Criminal? Whether they have sex or not, they're still homosexual.

Eh, don't mind me, I don't have a dog in this fight.

I would argue being gay is like being Jewish/Hebrew. It's a matter of who are, not what you do.

So they are envincing at something else.

There is a quote by Justice Ginsberg: “a tax on yarmulkes is a tax on Jews.”

ie, it's not to punish homosexual acts, but to punish homosexuals.
