<<No one is claiming here that we have laws on the books that are not meant to be enforced>>

You're wrong here. Read Goldworldnet's post to which i replied where he says:

Although many laws are not enforced, repealing them would only legitimize behavior that has been shunned and rightly so for millennia.

And that's the case Santorum has made: it's better to not enforce a law than to repeal it.

That's an offense to the rule of law and to liberty, not to mention mildly tyrannical. I really don't see how you can argue otherwise.

<<And when that happens the abominations of polygamy and bestiality become precisely as acceptable to our society as homosexuality.>>

This bogus argument has nothing to do with the case at hand.

The law against bestiality was repealed in Texas as was the law against heterosexual sodomy. So Texas does condone bestiality and heterosexual sodomy, just not homosexual sodomy.

Texas says yes to real dog lovers.

Our society condones homosexuality every day. Homosexuals legally serve in the military, in government, as teachers, in every aspect of civil society.
