OK, for now we’ll ignore the fact that just about probably all these folks would despise my libertarian Republican politics and pro-defense stance, which really isn’t the issue. The issue is that we are a nation of laws and not men (or women, or men-n-men or women-n-women).
Fine, there’s no doubt that the Founding Fathers personally were actively, both personally and in their political capacities, against homosexuality. But then, they were in favor of using leeches to cure ailments, against having women have the vote, and so forth. They would probably also be against cheap beer on Sundays, women’s soccer , amplified guitars and strip clubs, all of which we seem to be doing just fine with now that we have them in the 21st century.
But given the absence of illegality in the underlying acts, thankfully pushed away over the past three decades, what legal barrier should remain to punish adults for what is, after all, a discovery, not chocie?
These are beautiful people with hopes, dreams, enthusiasms, and loves. And we should embrace that in its multitude forms.
