:::If some homosexuals do happen to lead an unhappy life, I think it's mostly because vocal parts of society don't accept them or even (like Markman) are eager to criminalize them. However, criminalizing homosexuality would constitute a government intrusion into the private life of its citizens, which runs counter to the very freedoms America was based on.

::::The fact that legitimization of homosexuality will eventually lead to the legitimization of incest is not a slippery slope fallacy but a simple use of logic. If we adopt the logic that it's OK for two men to have sex each other so long as it's consensual, why not say that it's OK for a brother and a sister or mother and her son to have sex so long as it's consensual?

::::And anyway the founding fathers never intended to have a right for sodomy. Thomas Jefferson [http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/amendVIIIs10.html advocated for castration as a punishment for sodomy], which just to clarify is not something I or anyone else on this website advocates (not even the parodist who started this debate).

::::Finally, homosexuals live a miserable life not due to oppression or anything, but due to the fact that they live an immoral and unhealthy lifestyle. There's ample of evidence on this website regarding that. - [[User:Markman|Markman]] 09:01, 24 February 2013 (EST)
