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

:::::It's still a slippery slope fallacy, Markman. If your example is inherently ''logical'', then the next statement is just as logical: "If we adopt the logic that it's OK for a man and a woman to have sex with 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?"
:::::You are right that Jefferson's proposal was not exactly gay friendly, but it should be added that he intended to ''liberalize'' the sodomy laws in Virginia at that time, which prescribed death as the maximum penalty for the crime of sodomy.
:::::Finally, if homosexuals happen to lead a miserable life, it is mostly due to to the fact that they are oppressed and not accepted by people who think they have an immoral and unhealthy lifestyle. The information on this website doesn't really qualify as evidence. [[User:Onestone|Onestone]] 10:32, 24 February 2013 (EST)
