      This is a good point. They aren’t just afraid of queer sexualities but all sexuality. The old sodomy laws made it illegal to receive or receive oral sex. This will affect everyone

        Ancient humans: We don’t know why we’re getting sick. Maybe if we stop mouth and butt stuff, it will help. Let’s make some laws and try it.

        Modern humans: We know exactly why people get sick and how to prevent it, but we’re going to enforce ancient laws anyway because it helps us control the rubes.

        At the same time you can enlist without parental consent to military service and sent abroad to kill other people at age 18. But no tities until 21!

          First it was no booze but you could kill.

          Then it was no smokes but you can kill people.

          Now it’s no titties but you can kill people.

          I’m starting to think these assholes think murder is a fun hobby.

              Legally Banning anything on moral grounds is a fools errand. Laws should be based on the protecting citizens from direct and measurable harm.

              Assault is a crime because it causes another person injury.

              Extremely addictive drugs like cocaine and meth not only harm the addict physically and financially, but also harm those around them as they tend to make people violent and money hungry.

              Unless it harms another person physically or financially, I don’t see why it should be a crime.
