The 109th Congress should:
Every person who signed the Constitution believed that homosexuality was contrary to "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." Does this mean homosexuality should be a crime, and homosexuals should be put in prison? It's humorous (in a sad way) to contemplate the law saying "If I catch you engaging in sodomy, I'm going to lock you up in a federal prison where you'll be sodomized every day for the next 10 years." Entertainer Cher warned homosexuals and lesbians they might be rounded up in a second Bush administration: "All the gay guys, all my friends, all my gay friends, you guys you have got to vote, alright? Because it would only be a matter of time before you guys would be so screwed, I cannot tell you. Because, you know, the people, like, in the very right wing of this party, of these Republicans, the very, very right wing, the Jerry Falwell element, if they get any more power, you guys are going to be living in some state by yourselves. So, I hate scare tactics, but I really believe that that's true."I don't believe Jerry Falwell is this kind of fascist, but in any case, all Libertarians oppose the kind of totalitarianism that "rounds up" political opponents. Libertarians believe that laws prohibiting or regulating sexuality should be abolished, but that people should have the liberty to associate or not associate with anyone they wish, and should have the freedom to put their money where their values are. As long as Christians are not rounded up for saying that homosexuality is a sin, I will continue to try to persuade my friends on the Religious Right not to initiate force or violence (in the form of criminal laws) against homosexuals. But this is a two-way street. Will homosexuals give up their quest to have the preaching of the Bible declared a "hate crime?"
