Louisiana House Keeps Sodomy Laws On Books MOD WARNING

Drunk drivers are on government property (the roads) when they are violating government laws. Are you suggesting we make every house government property so the situations can be equivalent?

 

So basically you want government-enforced second class citizenship for gays. For someone who claims to believe in freedom and oppose government you sure do seem to enjoy advocating for government tyranny.

Full stop. You want homosexuality to be illegal? You want just simply being gay to be legally punished?

How exactly are you not a fascist?

 

Except that they are and have tried to enforce it and use it to make arrests.

That's what started the vote to remove it. Pay attention. That's what this is about,

 

The sodomy laws in no way affect or relate to pedophilia.

Please keep trying to lie though.

Here's a clue...they can't use the law to legally bring charges as it's already been ruled unconstitutional.

So you can keep trying to fear monger, but once again you just make yourself look like an idiot.

Oh of course on the books the laws applied to heterosexuals as well...but conveniently only homosexuals were ever charged.

Maybe you didn't read the article.

It's can't be enforced...they're still trying to though.

Neither of those examples has anything to do with the unconstitutional sodomy laws.

Neither of those horrendous examples are supported by anyone sane.

Keep trying,

 

You guys are still hung up on the sanctity of you private bedrooms.

And I keep telling you that gays are not at risk there.



Or at least not any legal risk.

STD's are another matter.

 

The same citizenship afforded to other sexual deviants like the beastiality and incest crowd.

 

Fair warning ~

Focus on the thread topic, or scroll on to another thread. Further/continued derailing of the thread will result in Infractions.

 

So explain this to me, if this only happens in the bedrooms of individuals in private, how could it ever be prosecuted? And if it cannot be prosecuted, why is it such a big deal?

 

Neither of those examples has anything to do with the unconstitutional sodomy laws.

The sodomy laws in no way affect or relate to pedophilia.

So your deviance is sane but other folk's deviance isn't? Who decides which deviant behavior is acceptable?

 

Taxcutter says:
Sure it was. Nearly every major culture disapproved of it.

 

"The District Attorney declined to prosecute the men, and the sheriff, Sid Gautreaux, under intense criticism, later apologized for the arrests."

It was tested once by an idiot sheriff after the SCOTUS decision.

It IS unenforceable. Pay attention.

 

While I cannot agree with banning consenting adults from engaging in sodomy my opinion means nothing because my morality should not be the deciding factor when deciding what laws should be passed or repealed.

 

You're missing the point. Anti-sodomy laws (that deal with consensual adult behavior in a reasonably private setting) have been declared UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Any future laws passed are null, void, and unenforceable, and any past laws already on the books are null, void, and unenforceable. You may not like that, but it is, in fact, a fact. I don't know about Louisiana State Legislators, but generally, when a public official is sworn into office, part of the oath is to support, or support and defend the Constitution.

By voting to keep an unconstitutional law on the books, they have violated their oath of office, and every last one of them should be impeached.

 

The very case that ultimately resulted in anti-sodomy laws being found Unconstitutional was 2 gay men in a private bedroom. One of them decided not to fight, and paid a fine of $300-something, and that was that. The other, despite the penalty being only a $300-something fine, decided to take it all the way to the Supreme Court, and as we now know, was victorious. So your statement is, at best, ill informed, at worst, an intentional and outright lie.

 

As a citizen it is my right to disagree with the crazy unelected lib judges on the Supreme Court.

They are acting like dictators now who simply don't care about no stinkin' will of the people.

.

 

You absolutely have the right to any lame opinion you might wish to express. But you also have to deal with the fact that EVERYTHING you desire when it comes to legal issues regarding sexuality, homosexuality, and same sex marriage is going the opposite direction of what you want. If I were you, I'd see your doctor about some blood pressure pills, because when SCOTUS declares SSM a constitutionally protected right (and it's only a question of when, not if), I'm concerned you might have a stroke.

 

As a citizen you have the right to disagree with any actions of the Supreme Court.

As a citizen I have the right to say that you hate our Constitution.

 

The lib judges don't even respect the Constitution.

That (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) Ginsberg told the Egyptians to pay no attention to the US Constitution when writing one for themselves

 

Actually the Sheriff arrested 12 men over a period of several years- and the DA refused to prosecute any of them- since the arrests were illegal.

Removing the statute would remove the Sheriff's ability to make arrests under the statute.

That would seem like a good thing to me- especially since the statute serves no other purpose now.

 

That's ironic given the Bundy Ranch thing...

Rightwingers want to enforce an unenforceable law in Louisiana.....and NOT enforce an enforceable law in Nevada.

 

I'd love to see Mac-7 see two men kissing and ...




and then it turned out to be...

 

I thought we agreed that Bush is a moron.

You just haven't caught up to the fact yet that Obama is an idiot too.

 

I think we DISagree....that homophobia is never "coming back" nor your hope for "Pink Triangle" laws.

 

Homosexual relationships between consenting adults are in no way deviant.

I would say NAMBLA is flat out completely insane. Are you trying to defend them now by calling them sane?

- - - Updated - - -

The men were still arrested, they just weren't able to charge them under the law.

So, again, keep trying. They are still TRYING to enforce the law.

- - - Updated - - -

We are not and have never been a mob rule democracy.

Keep up, you should look into a little thing called the constitution which applies to all citizens. Which is also why these atrocious and ridiculous laws are no longer enforceable.

 

So you agree that Obama is a fool?
