(5,739 posts)In fact, my private sexual life involves women in no capacity. I am a gay man. For hundreds of years whenever the government tried to step into the private consensual sexual life of people like me, it ends in nothing but anguish in pain. Regardless of sexual orientation, everyone has a right to not be thrown in jail for their private consensual sexual behavior. To say anything else is to ignore the repeated and painful lessons of history.
People have given their blood and their lives to liberate me and others like me from government intervention in our private consensual sexual activity. I owe these people a debt and that debt is to ensure that such governmental intervention never comes back for any group. To do otherwise would be to spit on the effort of all those honorable people.
If it ain't involving anyone who doesn't want to be involved, the sexual practices of others is frankly none of your business no matter how "perverse" their interests. I won't allow the same arguments (societal good and DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN hysteria) used throughout history to suppress people like me to be used to suppress other unpopular groups. Because if I don't, I'm no better than the cowards who stood by and watched people like me suffer.
If you think this is a spacious argument, I've already seen people use material from anti-gay groups to justify their hatred of consensual pornography on this very board. So yeah, when one side does that I know that I want to be on the exact opposite side of that trash.
