Which paragraph in the Constitution/ammendments deals with homosexuality?
I fail to find it in the Founders' papers.
I missed that in middle school civics, HS history, Business Law, Real Estate Law, etc.
I don't recall hearing about it as an early supporter of then Gov. Reagan.
Therefore to me, it is mainly an obsession of a certain susbet of religios Christians, and muslims, in America and foreign cultures.
So you went to school in or before the 70s when the "love that dared not speak" was still quiet. Now it won't shut up.
Funny, the Founders didn't write about cell phones, or computer hacks, not a word.
But they read about the demise of Sodom and Gomorrah. What was there to discuss?
One of the things which defines civilization is the ability to rear children in a stable environment and teach them their own culture. Traditional (one man and one woman) marriage has ever been that bastion of Western Civilization, providing the stable social base that enabled that. You didn't hear much about divorce in those days, either. It wasn't so common. For good, bad, or indifferent, those unions were less capriciously entered into, and more tenaciously defended, and that contributed to that stability.
You don't find any sort of sexuality mentioned in the US Constitution. There was an overwhelming "subset" of behaviour which conformed to the Judeo-Christian religious definition of marriage, practiced in the Churches which oversaw the formalizing of those unions. Anything else must have been dealt with with discretion. So, not much to talk about.
It wasn't mentioned in Civics classes (gone the way of the dinosaur, now), nor in HS History, except (again) Sodom and Gomorrah. It wasn't a matter that had been raised. People might gossip in locker rooms, but sexuality wasn't commonly discussed in public. There were still those seven words you couldn't say on television (actually more).
What amazes me now, is the fixation this formerly 'oppressed' minority (overall, a very small subset, despite its evangelical approach to adding to its numbers) has imposed on a culture and society which overwhelmingly doesn't practice it.
If you want to do whatever in your bedroom, then keep it there and quit waving it about in public.
